Waarom nog geld bij de bank parkeren?
De EU heeft haar ware gezicht en opmerkelijke tanden getoond.
Cyprus stemt in en nu kan de langzame maar dodelijke bank run vanuit Zuid-Europa beginnen...
FT - Europe is risking a bank run
17 maart 2013 - Many people even thought the crisis was over because Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, gave a lender-of-last-resort guarantee. Bank depositors now understand that if the crisis was over, then that was only because the eurozone had found a new source of funding: their savings. I have no idea whether or not there will be a bank run in the next few weeks. But surely it would be rational.
Reuters - Bail in threatens to accelerate future bank runs: Kemp
18 maart 2013 - Cyprus is a serious policy error that will destabilize the European banking system and threatens to accelerate bank runs in future. There is a good reason deposits have been the most protected form of bank liabilities. It has nothing to do with fairness. Deposit protection is the most successful banking policy enacted in the last 60 years. It has banished the runs that plagued banks and savings institutions in the early 20th century, leading to the suspension of thousands of banks a year in the early 1930s, and which erupted again briefly in the mid-1980s, felling hundreds of savings and loans in the United States. If European policymakers need reminding about the terrible dynamics of a bank run they need only consult Robert Bruner and Sean Carr's monograph about "The Panic of 1907", or "Integrity, Fairness and Resolve", the history of the savings and loan crisis published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
IFR - Europe’s bank-run defences have limits
18 maart 2013 - (Reuters Breakingviews) - Europe’s defences against bank runs have limits that may be about to be tested. The decision to force insured depositors to fund part of Cyprus’ bailout has sparked fears that their counterparts in Italy and Spain will try to head off hypothetical losses of their own by withdrawing their holdings. If they do so in bulk, the European Central Bank would struggle to hold the line.

Opgelet : De EU speelt het hard en doet dat niet zonder reden! Speelt de EU net als de casino's die ze beschermt een gokspel? Nee!
Ik kan mij perfect inbeelden dat de EU moedwillig een vorm van langzame, gecontroleerde, maar toch grootse bank run wil uitlokken.
Zonder twijfel liggen de plannen reeds klaar (het beperken van opvragen van spaartegoeden etc...)
De EU heeft Uw spaartegoeden nodig, Cyprus is slechts het begin van een spel dat hun van deze zal verzekeren.
Het moment om wijs te zijn is nu aangebroken! U weet wat te doen.
