I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many years would of strong profit would it take to generate enough capital to support additional lending?
All the background I'm provided with is that "According to the Brookings Institution, the traditional banking system does not have the capital to close this gap as of June 2009: "It would take a number of years of strong profits to generate sufficient capital to support that additional lending volume.". Is that enough to answer the question?
