![]() Wat zal er gebeuren als gevolg van de Griekse Bank Run ?
ZERO HEDGE - Forget The "Bazookas": Here Come The "Tomahawks" And "Howitzers" - An R-Rated Walk Thru The Greek Endgame "So lets "run" through the mechanics of a Greek bank run. ... The end is of course ECB printing, Eurobonds and every developed market central bank dumping massive liquidity into the global financial markets as systemic risks rise - QE, LTROs, Currency swaps, and every funding facility under the sun come into play. The path to this end game will be bumpy, but make no mistake, the developed market central banks will dump so much fiat on the system to cover the losses, that risk free real rates will plummet to levels so negative that anyone left holding cash or cash equivalents will see massive destruction of real wealth. We may have to push risk assets a bit lower from here, but the global central banks will be firing howitzers and tomahawks very shortly, not bazookas!" |

![]() De eindeloze rit naar doemsdag...
Probleem: crisis Oplossing: Meer van hetzelfde, meer Europa... de Fiscale Unie en het ESM zal het einde betekenen. Telegraph - Europe is driving full-tilt, foot on the pedal, into a brick wall It’s unbelievable that we should be urging our neighbours to adopt a tighter fiscal union, argues Boris Johnson. ![]() ... As far as I can understand the “strategy” of the EU, it is now to prepare for Greece to leave the single currency. Not that the Greeks themselves are anything like psychologically ready to quit: the politicians are punch-drunk, exhausted, and appalled at the loss of face and loss of security that would go with a sundering from “Europe”. Most voters choose pro-euro parties. But money is being withdrawn from banks; events are gathering momentum; and it is clear from their remarks that other EU leaders are getting ready for an outcome which until recently was held to be impolite to mention: the Grexit. And then what? And then the strategy would appear to be to cauterise the amputation; to circle the wagons; to issue the most ringing and convincing proclamation to the markets that no more depredations will be tolerated; and to get the Germans to stump up, big time, to protect Spain and Portugal. We are told that the only solution now is a Fiscal Union (or FU). We must have “more Europe”, say our leaders, not less Europe – even though more Europe means more suffering, and a refusal to recognise what has gone wrong in Greece. The euro has turned out to be a doomsday machine, a destroyer of jobs, a killer of growth, because it entrenches and exacerbates the fundamental and historic inability of some countries to compete with Germany in making high-quality goods with low-unit labour costs. Unable to devalue their way back into the game, these countries are forced to watch industry wilt under German imports, as the euro serves as a giant trebuchet to fire swish German saloon cars and machine tools across the rest of Europe. ...

![]() Souverein Griekenland ?
HLN - "Griekse exit kan crisis op niet voorspelbare manier verspreiden" Met een vertrek van Griekenland uit de eurozone bestaat de mogelijkheid dat de schuldencrisis zich op een niet voorspelbare manier zal verspreiden. Daarvoor waarschuwt de Franse minister van Financiën, Pierre Moscovici. Frankrijk zal er dan ook alles aan doen om dit scenario te voorkomen, zo benadrukte hij. "Alles moet er aan gedaan worden om de pro-Europakrachten en pro-eurokrachten in Griekenland te helpen'', aldus Moscovici. ... Hoe ver zouden ze durven gaan met dat 'helpen' ? |

De Standaard - Karel De Gucht creëert Europese rel Belgische eurocommissaris zegt luidop wat iedereen denkt BRUSSEL - De uitspraak van Karel De Gucht dat Europa in stilte werkt aan een 'plan B' voor Griekenland, wekte gisteren felle reacties op bij de Europese Commissie. Officieel bestaat er alleen een 'plan A'. ... Om geen verdere twijfels te zaaien over de slaagkansen van het Europese project, heeft men bij de Commissie beslist om het woord 'noodscenario' dood te zwijgen.

- Geen groei mogelijk - Meer besparen De Tijd - 'Geen snelle oplossing op Europese top' Er is geen snelle oplossing voor de eurocrisis. Dit schrijft EU-president Herman Van Rompuy in zijn uitnodigingsbrief voor de 27 staatshoofden en regeringsleiders Herman Van Rompuy, het voorbije weekend nog op de G8 in Chicago in het bijzijn van Barack Obama. Er bestaat geen magische truuk om de Europese economie op slag in een hoger toerental te krijgen, zo laat Van Rompuy horen aan de vooravond van de Europese top van woensdagavond. Die top is bedoeld om meer aandacht te trekken op de groei. Volgens Van Rompuy is groei altijd al integraal onderdeel geweest van het Europese antwoord op de crisis, maar bleef dit wat onderbelicht. ... Morgen meer... |

Guardian - Greece heading out of euro, say UK voters ICM poll reveals 72% believe Greece will leave single currency while David Cameron's personal rating hits all-time low Voters are convinced the euro is heading for the rocks, but divided on whom they will blame if the double-dip recession deepens, according to a new Guardian/ICM poll. By a crushing margin of 72% to 20% the British public believes that Greece is on its way out of the single currency club, and a majority of 52% judges that the eurozone's disintegration will go further, with other countries also being forced to leave. Some 26% believe we are set for a total unravelling, with a return to old national currencies like the French franc and the Deutsche mark in the heartland of the EU. The poll also records the lowest-ever approval ratings for David Cameron and his coalition. The prime minister's personal approval ratings are now virtually neck and neck with Ed Miliband's. ... |

- De Griekse banken krijgen in het geheim hulp via “emergency liquidity assistance” (ELA)... - Ondertussen krijgt het ECB nog steeds meer greep op Griekenland... CNBC - Secret Central Bank Aid Props Up Greek Banks There has been no official announcement. No terms or conditions have been disclosed. But Greece’s banking system is being propped up by an estimated €100 billion or so of emergency liquidity provided by the country’s central bank — approved secretly by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. If Greece were to leave the eurozone, the immediate cause might be an ECB decision to pull the plug. Extensive use of “emergency liquidity assistance” (ELA) to help banks in the weakest economies has been one of the less-noticed features of the eurozone crisis. [b]Separate from normal supplies of liquidity and meant originally as a temporary facility for national authorities to use when banks hit problems, ELA proved a lifesaver for the financial system Ireland and is now even more so in Greece.[/B] As such, it has given the ECB — which has ultimate control over the facility — considerable power to determine countries’ fates. Whether that power would ever be exercised is unclear. ELA is a subject on which the ECB is deeply reluctant to provide information — even on where or when it is provided. “You don’t say when you are in an emergency situation, because then you make the situation worse. So I really don’t see the usefulness of being more transparent,” Luc Coene, Belgium’s central bank governor, explained in a Financial Times interview this month. ...

ZERO HEDGE - The EU Political Game of Growth Vs Austerity is Akin to Polishing the Brass on the Titanic France and other, weaker EU members have begun pushing for “growth.” This in of itself reveals how clueless the political elite in the EU are (economic growth in Europe is synonymous with living beyond one’s means and/or living off of others… the very policies that have lead to the EU Crisis). Indeed, this shift from focusing on austerity to growth is really just a switch from one side of a coin to the other… [u]without actually addressing the fact that the coin itself has no value as a concept.[/U] Let me explain. Both growth and austerity are political hot buttons that fail to address the core issues plaguing the Euro-zone. Those core issues are: Age demographics, which courtesy of a welfare state translates into… Massive unfunded liabilities and debt overhang that stifles growth… And an unwillingness to innovate or pursue democratic capitalism When political leaders talk about austerity today, they’re not even actually addressing real austerity. France, for instance, is balking at the prospect of submitting to more “austerity measures” when it actually increased its spending by $62 billion from 2009-2011. That’s austerity? Indeed, the whole exercise becomes a total joke when you realize that as far back as 2004 France had unfunded liabilities (social programs, pensions, etc) equal to over 500% of its GDP. As Jagadeesh Gokhale of the Cato Institute notes, in order to meet these needs without increasing taxes, France would need to set aside nearly 10% of its GDP every year indefinitely. Put another way… in order for France to meet its unfunded liabilities, it would have to start saving NOT spending beyond its means. Speaking of which, spending beyond one’s means is precisely what EU leaders are referring to when they talk about “growth.” For the EU, economic growth is synonymous with spending money (especially if it’s someone else’s money), NOT economic innovation or organic growth from small business. As I mentioned before, the “austerity” and “growth” to which EU leaders refer are simply two sides of the same coin: that of assuming that massive problems can be dealt with superficially. It’s akin to polishing the brass on the Titanic as it sinks: in the short term, you’re making a small difference, but in the big picture, you’re ignoring the very real, enormous problem you need to tackle. ... Morgen de crisisvergadering waar men over groei vs. auteriteit zal onderhandelen... ![]() |

![]() CNBC - Greek Euro Exit Being Considered: Former PM Papademos
Greece's financial stability fund approved an 18 billion euro ($23 billion) injection of capital into the country's four biggest banks on Tuesday and will release the funds on Wednesday, a fund official said. At the same time, news reports quoted former Greece Prime Minister Lucas Papademos as saying that preparations for the country's exit from the euro zone are being considered and the risk is real. The Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF) said in a statement its board had unanimously approved the recapitalisation, which would be signed on Wednesday by the HSFS, the banks and the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF). An HFSF official said the banks would receive the funds in the form of EFSF notes immediately once the agreement was signed. The euro [EUR= 1.2681 -0.0005 (-0.04%) ] extended losses against the U.S. dollar to trade more than 1 percent lower in late afternoon trade on Tuesday, which traders attributed to Papademos' comments. ... |

Een stel belachelijke idioten die ten koste van enorme sommen hun even belachelijke ideeen trachten te handhaven. Zij zijn bereid daarvoor uw financiele toekomst te laten slachtofferen. Let wel! die van u - niet die van henzelf.
