Greek Deposit Run Update: Hopeless And Getting Worse

Tyler Durden's picture




The Greek central bank - whatever that is: some local subsidiary of the ECB? - released February corporate and household deposit data. The chart below explains it all: back to May 2006 levels and the run shows no sign of abating And remember Venizelos' sage February words of advice? "VENIZELOS SAYS NOW IS THE TIME FOR DEPOSITS TO RETURN TO BANKS"... that didn't work too well.

"VENIZELOS SAYS NOW IS THE TIME FOR DEPOSITS TO RETURN TO BANKS"

I pity the fool who listen to this hack.

As for the crazy in Italy :

Italian PM Monti says EUR is stable and strong

And the EU is democratic uh?

The inverted graph shows the growth of money on the sidelines.

Bullish for stocks!

Take the second or even third derivative and get the chart you need to convince investors to give you money.

This lawyer turned finance minister and now leader of PASOK which previously held government, is nothing but a leech who voted to stay with the Euro and embrace austerity because his bank account contains almost 3 million euros and because Venizelos continues to draw a fat parliamentary salary that has not been reduced like pensions and salaries have.

If retrospective abortion was possible for him and his fellow 299 parliamentary colleagues, Greece could be paradise. Then again the world's parliaments are full of the same self serving, ignorant, over paid and incompetent scumbags.

Well, with people losing work and paying to keep their jobs, of course deposits will be down.  People need to pull whatever money they do have to survive.  It's an unintended consequence of the austerity for ECB cash.  OOOPSY!!!!

Correction. It won't stop until it actually hits zero.

Hopefully it will go negative due to people removing any savings and then taking out a personal loan.

Command and control. It is the political solution to everything. People aren't spending? Tell them to spend! People aren't saving? Tell them to save! And when that doesn't work, start making it illegal to move your own money around. Capital controls are coming.

"Economics in One Lesson" by Hazlitt should be required reading.

The more you command peoples' behavior, the poorer they get.

The average Greek has apparently figured that out already...and reacted accordingly.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.

They will exit EURO, defalted and then return all foreign deposit back. The only screwed will be Germans with checkbook in 1 hand. And Greeks ara already reacher for half of the GDP which they will never have to payback.

Is the Greek money worth anything? You'd think the depositors would WANT to give it to the bank to get rid of it.

Maybe the Greeks have figured out that if you want a banking system to die, you only need to ignore it and not use it.

Something else is being used.

Maybe the Greeks have figured out that if you want a FRACTIONAL RESERVE and FIAT CURRENCY-BASED banking system to die, you only need to ignore it and not use it.

The print should have said----All greeks have pulled all funds and cancelled all bank accounts.

As we see there are still people who even in the face of robbery with a gun to their head, still believe in the program.------------------------sad.

Whether the Greek bank run continues is not the question.  The real question is who in the hell in Greece still has money to remove from a bank?

The smart money and the not-so-smart money has already left. The dumb money is leaving now.

That leaves us with the totally-clueless, the semi-comatose, and the fully-comatose.

It is also possible that the banks are padding their figures to hide the declines.
