Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.

Corporate bond defaults have been rising, a serious concern since a deep bond market is essential for financing long-gestation infrastructure projects. The problem's roots lie in incomplete reforms of the past two decades. An institutional change that should have followed early reforms was establishing a specialised bankruptcy track for large infrastructure financiers. In a market economy with booms and busts, some financiers should be allowed to fail in an orderly way.

Which one of the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
