Per completare il quadro (cupo) aggiungo questo estratto. Parla un tale Alan McQuaid, chief economist at Bloxham Stockbrokers in Dublin.
Analysts expect the European Commission in Brussels to offer at least partial support to the government's plan to split Anglo in two, but could demand that European bondholders in Anglo take their lumps rather than accept Ireland's get-out-of-jail-free card.
"Brussels probably will back Ireland's plan for a good bank-bad bank split of Anglo. But you can't dismiss the chance they'll say enough's enough, the numbers are that bad," said McQuaid.
He suggested that Brussels could order the kind of punishment of Anglo's European bondholders that Ireland -- determined to preserve its reputation as a responsible borrower -- has avoided.
"If we were to go ourselves to Anglo bondholders in Britain, Germany, France and Spain and say we're not going to pay, that would have a huge negative effect. Our bond yields would go through the roof," McQuaid said. "But if the EU ordered the move, it wouldn't have the same destructive effect."
