This makes no sense, especially when the BuBa lectures the federal government on the need to keep the amount of debt outstanding under control. To err is of course human. But to mess things up spectacularly, we need an elite — Yanis Varoufakis
It doesn't say what that means.
I think.
So 39% is not voluntary.
Yesterday, a bund auction flopped for the first time in living memory - as a result of which the entire eurozone no longer has a viable bond market. The flop was a major global event. It sent share price tumbling. Financial investors are now heavily betting on the break-up of the eurozone. Having held up well during most of the crisis, the euro declined to $1.33. Despite the 200bp jump in German yields, Italy's 10-year spreads rose back above 500bp, and Belgium's are now at 350bp.With every day of complacent and ignorant political announcement, especially from Berlin, the crisis deteriorates, and the cost of crisis resolution increases.
That's what I was asking before. Is Reuters conflating the Bundesbank with the Deutsche Finanzagentur? It makes sense that the Finanzagentur sells the bonds, not that the Bundesbank does. To err is of course human. But to mess things up spectacularly, we need an elite — Yanis Varoufakis
