La plus récente
estimation de Reuters est que les Grecs retirent désormais
entre 500 millions et 800 millions d’euros par jour du système
bancaire, et que la tendance s’accélère avec
l’approche des élections.
Les retraits ont été de pratiquement un milliard
d’euros mardi dernier, ce qui représente 0.5% de la base totale
des dépôts bancaires grecs.
Ci-dessous un extrait de
l’article de Reuters :
"Combined daily deposit outflows from the
major Greek banks have reached 500-800 million euros over the past few days,
with the pace picking up as the election draws closer and rising noticeably
on Tuesday, two bankers said." This is roughly $1 billion a day in the
upper case, and a number that is approaching 0.5% of the entire documented
€170 billion (now likely much less) deposit base.
Deposit outflows at smaller and medium sized banks were running at 10-30
million euros.
"This includes cash withdrawals, wire transfers and investments into
money market funds, German Bunds, U.S. Treasuries and EIB bonds," said
one banker, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Fears that Greece may have to quit the single currency and return to a
weak drachma have fuelled a steady stream of withdrawals by companies and
businesses alarmed at the prospect of seeing the value of their deposits cut
sharply.
The result of the election, called after a previous vote in May failed to
produce a government, remains too close to call, with the conservative New
Democracy party running neck and neck with radical leftist SYRIZA.
Both groups say they want Greece to remain in the single currency but
SYRIZA has pledged to scrap a 130 billion euro bailout agreement signed in
March which has imposed some of the toughest austerity measures seen in
Europe in decades.
At the daily rate of doubling the
"estimate" by Friday the trot will be an all out
sprting and Greece will be experiencing a $4
billion in outflows. We wonder which banks will have any cash left at that
point.
How much of this is fact, and how much
pre-election rumormongering to scare people from voting against Syriza remains to be seen. Due to the polling moratorium
it is impossible to get any grasp of which is the most popular party in
Greece currently, even if the polls that had been released had the accuracy
of an Excel random number generator.
