Salami tactics

In the wake of the subprime crisis, a term used to describe the business policy of large banks and insurance companies of not announcing their losses all at once, but rather of gradually disclosing them to the public in slices. – The ECB criticized this behavior because such a communication policy is likely to increase general uncertainty. Incurred losses leak out in any case: they give rise to rumors and end up hurting a bank more than an immediate publication of the bad news. – See ad hoc announcement, shareholder letter, information deferral, factual design, sleeping money, loss camouflage.
