Due opinioni personali:
1)Dijsselbloem è un perfetto imbecille. Se ne combina un'altra come questa, lo segano di brutto.
2)la posizione espressa in quella sciagurata intervista non riflette quanto sin qui concordato all'interno dell'Europa, anche se la strategia dei Paesi "core" è stata e sarà quella di minimizzare gli esborsi da parte degli organismi sovranazionali. Lo dice anche FT in questo articolo che commenta così la monumentale gaffe del successore di Juncker:
"Well, it’s direct all right. It’s a direct call to depositors across the eurozone — retail and corporate alike — to move cash now and spread it across a portfolio of the largest available banks. It’s direct advice to dump bank debt. And it’s a direct invitation to speculate that the EFSF, the ESM, and the rest of the alphabetic bailout soup is going to be discarded in favour of calling on depositors’ money across the Continent.
Of course, the world’s changed for bank creditors in any case. There was already a bail-in directive on its way for Europe, though not for some years and not spelling out the risk to uninsured deposits (or that the bail-in regime should apparently be retrospective, if we’re reading Dijsselbloem correctly).
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Dutch finance minister in his day job, is openly promoting the Cyprus bail-in as a template for the rest of financially fractured Europe. Except it’s not. It’s a way to deal with the political impossibility of German taxpayers bailing Russian gangsta finance. (There’s also the matter of Cypriot banks having had an unusually high level of depositor funding, compared to issuance of bonds.)
Would the Eurogroup leader like to torpedo the Italian and Spanish economies in similar fashion? How about France? Probably not, but the immediate result on Monday was six per cent off the price of Intesa Sanpaolo stock, six per cent off Unicredit, five per cent off SocGen and so on.
We could blame all this on too much coffee and not enough sleep, except that Mr Dijsselbloem has a little too much form on this front. And he’s only been in the Eurogroup job since January."
