ancora un bell'esempio di unità dall'europa con la modifica che esclude i depositi over 100k dal bail in solo per la grecia.

Greek bank boldholders fear Portuguese-style "bad bank" split
* NBG investors eager to find private solution for recap
* Worry that Portugal's BES may be template
* Suggest debt-equity swap like UK's Co-op Bank
By John Geddie
LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - National Bank of Greece bondholders are nervous that they will suffer heavy losses if authorities decide to siphon off all of the bank's healthy assets leaving a "bad bank" to deal with their claims, a source close to a creditor group said.
A group of senior bondholders in NBG sent a letter to European institutions last week saying they were concerned about measures that may be taken to revitalise the Greek banking sector after months of economic upheaval.
After drawn-out negotiations, Greece is close to clinching a third bailout deal but has kept in place the capital controls it used to prevent a bank run last month.
The investors, who hold a significant portion of a 750 million euro NBG senior bond issued last year, are worried the bank may be split into a good bank and a bad bank as was the case for Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo last year.
Portugal separated out and pumped money into the healthy part of the bank creating a new entity "Novo Banco", while remaining BES shareholders and subordinated bondholders were left with near worthless investments in the remaining bad bank.
NBG bondholders are concerned that such a split in Greece could require a level of recapitalisation that would also see senior bondholders left behind in the bad bank.
Under current Greek law, junior bondholders should contribute to a bail-in, while new legislation passed on Wednesday will also force senior bondholders to contribute from January 1 2016.
Recapitalisations of Greek banks may be needed before then, however, leaving the option of a bad bank solution on the table.
European Central Bank governing council member Christian Noyer said an initial injection of capital for Greek banks would be preferable before stress tests in the autumn.
In the letter sent last week, the creditor group said it was also eager to explore private sector solutions for any recapitalisation of NBG.
The source said that the rescue of Britain's Co-operative Bank in 2012 could provide a template for a possible solution, where bondholders swapped their debt for new bonds and equity in the bank.
The Co-operative Bank ceded a 30 percent stake to bondholders including U.S. hedge funds Aurelius Capital and Silver Point Capital.
An official from NBG said the bank had not received any letter from creditors or bondholders expressing their willingness to participate in a possible recapitalisation.
"It's too early, we have and they have to wait for the stress tests results," he said.

Il thread sul quale stai scrivendo ha un titolo, che non è stato messo a caso, ma delimita un argomento, tra tutti quelli che sono gli investimenti possibili in Grecia: Operativo titoli di stato.Non so se qualcuno ha già fatto questa riflessione, in questo caso me ne scuso, ma vorrei capire da un punto di vista di principio, il bali in degli obbligazionisti delle banche fallite, dovrebbe basarsi su una presunta conoscenza da parte dell'investitore della "rischiosità" e affidabilità dell istituto dove investe-deposita i suoi soldi. Tale conoscenza su cosa dovrebbe basarsi? Rating? Giornali? Macellaio sotto casa? Voglio dire, se PRIMA non si costringono gli Istituti ad una TRASPARENZA e COMUNICAZIONE obbligatoria e CONTINUA del loro stato economico-patrimoniale agli investitori, come si fa poi, da un punto di vista GIURIDICO (la giustizia è una cosa la legge potrebbe essere altro..ma lasciamo perdere per ora..) a tagliare un bond SENIOR?
E poi le banche greche sono fallite per loro demeriti o perché i Politici che hanno governato lo STATO lo hanno mandato a scartafaccio? La fuga di capitali che ha messo in ginocchio le banche non è dovuto alla malagestione delle stesse, ma alle porcate dei governi greci.
E allora, mi spiace dirlo, ma quelli che dovevano essere RASATI a zero dovevano essere i detentori dei BOND (cioè del debito) dello stato greco. Chiaramente tutti i possessori, non solo i poracci che si sono visti l'haircut. Lo STATO greco avrebbe dovuto vendersi pure le mutande (pubbliche) per risanare i SUOI debiti e NON toccare il risparmio privato (la cui maggior parte sarà stata fonte di evasione..ma questo è sempre un problema creato e non gestito dallo Stato stesso).
Scusate la lungaggine, non ho obbligazioni bancarie di nessun tipo ma solo una ridicola esposizione in bond, ma mi pare che finora la VERITA' su questa storia non l ha scritta ancora nessuno..
