Balance sheet repair

Capital adequacy - recapitalisation.

Balance sheet repair means increasing the amount of equity capital in a bank or other organisation, especially following losses.

Post-Lehman balance sheet repair

"On the demand side, fiscal expansions in the US and Europe, together with the end of the post-Lehman balance sheet repair phase, point to faster gains in spending growth compared with the post-Lehman decade."
