Royal Bank of Scotland is warning that banks and investment houses face as much as $100 billion of writedowns because of Level 3 accounting rules.
Royal Bank's chief credit strategist Bob Janjuah in a reserach note says that including subprime problems, "this credit crisis, when all is out, will see $250 billion to $500 billion of losses."
"The heat is on and it is inevitable that more players will have to revalue at least a decent portion" of assets they are currently value using "mark- to-make believe," Janjuah added.
