Traditional banks cannot cleanly divest industrial credit risk when they serve as the primary sources of leverage and debt financing for the non-bank buyers purchasing those assets.
The same conclusion keeps arriving from across the workspace's research — 1 topics independently instantiate this theme. Filter the evidence by where it came from:

It explains how bank risk-transfer trades create highly interconnected loops that return risk to the banking system.
This line highlights how banks remain deeply exposed to the private credit sector by providing the underlying back leverage that funds use to scale their lending portfolios.
It highlights how banks' provision of back-leverage to risk-buyers ensures that offloaded risk remains inside the banking system.

This illustrates bank syndicates reclaiming liquidity by reducing the back-leverage lines they extend to direct lenders.
