East West Bancorp was better prepared to muddle through the crisis than some other banks because it handled some of its problem loans as early as the first half of 2008. East West Bancorp continues to manage potentially problematic assets well, according to an analyst report by Barclays Capital. For example, in 2010, it sold $233.7 million worth of problem loans and about $132.7 million worth of those sales were all-cash transactions.
