Germany To Start Onboarding “Bad Debt”
By Tyler Durden
In what could be the most important news of the day, German Die Zeit reports that, in a stunning move, the EU has ordered Germany to count the holdings of WestLB and Hypo Real Estate (the latter of which failed the stress farce from last month which nobody cares about or remembers anymore) as government debt! As Bloomberg notes, “That could raise Germany’s debt to 90 percent of gross domestic product, Die Zeit said.” Of course the implications of this decision are massive, as it takes out all the guess work of whether insolvent institutions are or are not on the government’s balance sheet. The net result, for Germany alone, is that just the addition of Hypo’s debt would push German debt/GDP from 79% to 90%, both of which are well above the Maastricht limit of 60% (not like anyone cares that is – everyone is now aware the EU is a failed experiment).
