Some of Hong Kong's large banks are in preliminary discussions to set up a bad bank amid a rise in non-performing loans among Hong Kong banks, Bloomberg quoted sources as saying.

A number of banks, including HANG SENG BANK (00011.HK)  +0.400 (+0.328%)    Short selling $10.01M; Ratio 15.041%   and BANKCOMM (03328.HK)  +0.030 (+0.410%)    Short selling $9.60M; Ratio 14.729%   , have recently approached consulting firms, and are in preliminary discussions to set up a specialized organization to deal with bad debt issues, with one of the considerations being to follow China's lead and set up a non-performing asset management company to allow banks to recover at least some of their loans.
