Germany has probably the best industrial productivity on the planet, with also probably the crappest banking system (in the absence of other macro problems). Normally, Europe is a core-periphery problem of some kind. With banking, the normally Puritan Germans actually resist transparency. The real problem: the banks that used to finance their industrial miracle, and now embarrass so don't talk about them, are publically-owned "Landesbank". Best swept under carpet ;-) | |

I can only observe that the ECB only got financial stability oversight over EZ banks - and against their wishes (given the conflicts that then arise) a couple of years ago, as an emergency measure to stop the then-toxic bank-sovereign spiral of death killing the Euro. "European Banking Union" remains a promised objective, still actually far from being delivered in any meaningful sense. | |
