reCESSione

Econominchia due. Tutto quello che non si poteva dire ora impazza sul circo mass mediatico senza vergogna. La royal bank of scotland chiede soldi ai propri azionisti. Farebbe ridere se la cosa non fosse seria. Una banca che è in perdita. MA allora, dove sono tutti i soldi dei correntisti?! Ma soprattutto, che fine ha fatto il libero mercato quando la famossissima banca pubblica inglese, conosciuta anche come bank of england, sta per pompare 50 bln pounds (quanti sono?!) nel sistema bancario? Econominchiamente, c’è qualche corrispondenza col fatto che l’inflazione inizia a galoppare? Sta per piovere un mare di soldi sul mercato, il gioco consiste nel indovinare le conseguenze, ma serve una laurea.

Chi legge solo i titoli è un’investitore.

Bank of England to pump 50 bln pounds into banking system

The Bank of England is to pump an extra 50 billion pounds into the banking system as early as the end of next week, BBC television has said.

Without citing sources, the broadcaster said Friday that the Bank of England would issue one-year bonds over three years and swap them for securitised mortgage assets the banks cannot sell due to the squeeze on the global credit markets.

The idea is to encourage banks to lend to each other again and meet banks’ demands for longer term loans as well as kick start a slowing housing market, it added. The loans would not be included on the national debt.
