Top U.S. and European banks have lost more than $900 billion on toxic assets and from bad loans since the start of 2007.

Losses by banks between 2007 and 2010 are expected to reach almost $2.5 trillion, roughly split between losses on securities and loans, according to International Monetary Fund forecasts. U.S. banks will take a $1.6 trillion hit and European bank losses will reach $737 billion, the IMF said.
