A Spanish bail out looms



The results of independent stress tests of the Spanish banking sector will be published on 28 September.

But previews are already being sent to the country's financial institutions.

It seems likely that the Spanish government has already put in place economic reform plans that would allow it to apply for a bailout immediately.

Spain's banking sector needs recapitalising, and much of the money would come from 100bn euros in European Union funds already pledged by eurozone finance ministers in June.

It seems likely that the bail out would be in the region of 75-80 billion Euros

Time and again we are seeing reports coming from the Banking sector where massive losses have been established and yet it would appear nobody was monitoring these developments.

It is all rather reminiscent of the old variety act where a performer started to spin a sequence of plates as long as he could keep running and adjusting the spinning plates all was well but as soon as he stopped the whole scenario collapsed. So it is with the Banking system.
