    In the United States, financial holding companies continue to be prohibited from owning non-financial corporations in contrast to Japan and

    continental Europe where this arrangement is common. Instead, private equity firms, which solicit funds and, in essence, provide commercial banking services, have taken advantage of the workaround available to acquire large ownership positions in a number of nonfinancial corporations, enabling the enterprise to obtain financing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Holding_Company_Act

    In planning and conducting these policies of resolution, Japan learned many lessons from the experience of the United States. Japan also shared with the United States the experience of asking taxpayers for funds to protect the stability of the financial system. http://www.cesifo-group.de/portal/pls/portal/docs/1/1193072.PDF
