To keep their deposits, these thrift institutions must pay as much as 16% interest, though many of the old mortgages on their books earn them less than 10%. As a result, an estimated 85% of all S and Ls are losing money. Administration officials are confident that most of the S and Ls have large enough capital reserves to tide them over until rates fall. But some financial experts are not so sure. Says the president of one of the largest U.S. commercial...
