The banks are trying to surreptitiously seize as many assets as possible before hyperinflation kicks in.

IMO, this is why they don't loosen covenants on stocks with quality assets, at the same time demanding that asset sales are made - knowing full well the latter demand will cause a collapse in asset prices and trigger covenant breaches.

They are after the assets OR debt for equity swaps OR discounted institutional placements.
