Samma cirkus nu som med Grekland och Spanien (vilket inte överraskar mig). Vi vet var detta slutar.
Ireland’s central bank estimated the ”stress case” cost of winding down Anglo Irish Bank at 34 billion euros. Prime Minister Brian Cowen’s fragile government said it would have to inject another 2.7 billion euros into Irish Nationwide building society, on top of 2.7 billion already earmarked.
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said the state would probably raise its stake to a majority in Allied Irish Banks, which needs an extra 3 billion euros in capital this year.
”We have to bring closure to this matter and that is what we have done today,” Lenihan said. ”Yes of course these figures are horrendous, but they can be managed over a 10-year period [red. anm. LOL].”
Dublin-based Davy Stockbrokers said the gross cost of restructuring the banks under a base scenario was now 46 billion euros, which would rise by 5 billion under the ”stress case” for Anglo.
