Where does it end? 100 billion? 1 trillion? 1 quadrillion? And yes America, this is your money, going to bail out Greece... Then Portugal... Then Ukraine....Then
Dubai....Then Italy....Then Spain....Then Hungary....Then the
Baltics...Then the UK....Then Japan... and by the time we have to bail
ourselves out, there will be nothing left, except the Turbo Bernanke
3000 dry heaving with an empty ink cartridge and empty paper cart,
while gold oz will be worth one quadrillion Benjamins (or is that
Bernankes). In the meantime, as Erik Nielsen, who finally woke up,
predicted, the final bailout cost of Greece alone will be €150 billion.
So the IMF will do rookie mistake 101 and keep raising the bailout
requirement incrementally, even as the depositor runs on Greek banks
and the ongoing strikes and riots, destroy the country...But at least
in the meantime the dollar will get devalued and Wells-JPM-BofA/REIT
investors will be happy.
The International Monetary Fund is looking at raising its share of Greece’s financial rescue package by €10bn ($13.2bn) amid fears that the planned €45bn bail-out will fail to prevent the country’s debt
crisis from spiralling out of control.
Stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic fell on Tuesday, with leading European indices
suffering their heaviest falls of the year, after Standard & Poor’s
cut Greece’s long-term credit rating to junk status. The struggling
nation is the first eurozone member to have its debt downgraded to junk
level.
Shares in Athens fell 6 per cent as banks plunged more than 9 per cent. Greek government bonds suffered further heavy falls on
growing concern that the country may need to restructure its debts in
spite of the proposed eurozone and IMF rescue. Portugal’s stock market
was down nearly 5 per cent as Lisbon’s long-term credit ratings were
also reduced to by two notches from A plus to A minus, reflecting the
country’s weakening public finances.
Senior bankers and officials in Washington and Athens told the Financial Times that the
IMF was in talks to increase its aid contribution by €10bn. The fund
could make that sum available under a planned three-year loan,
according to an Athens-based analyst familiar with the talks.
Investors and policy specialists said that expectations of the size of the
three-year package in Washington policy circles had increased to at
least €70bn. The EU has so far proposed to provide €30bn and the IMF
€15bn. “The fund’s current ceiling for Greece is €25bn and the release
of the extra amount is under discussion,” the analyst said. The IMF
declined to comment on the size of the package..
