How safe are Europe's banks? Not very, if the new head of the International Monetary Fund Christine Largarde is to be believed. She has called for a recapitalisation otherwise the fear is many would be swept away in another credit crunch. In Belgium, the bank Dexia is especially exposed to billions of euros of Greek debt. But on the streets of Brussels are savers really that nervous? ... www.euronews.net

Walking into the meeting of EU finance ministers in Luxembourg on Tuesday, Belgium's finance minister Didier Reynders commented on the turmoil at French-Belgian bank Dexia and assured accountholders that the money is safe up to 100.000 euros. "We will see all the proposals coming from the board meeting. But I repeat there is a guarantee for the customers to 100 000 Euros and we have also some possible actions from the two government the Belgium and the French. So, first of all we need to listen to all the proposals coming from the banks but first of all, we will read all the proposals, and not in the newspapers, but in the proposal from the bank", Didier Reynders said. The Franco-Belgian bank, one of the first European banks to be bailed out in 2008 holds €20.9 billion in sovereign debt issued by troubled eurozone countries, including Greece and Italy. After the meeting, Dexia said that chief executive Pierre Mariani had been charged with preparing measures to resolve structural problems that were harming its operations, possibly the set up of 'bad bank' to hold a portfolio of assets, which has hampered the financial institution. Dexia's statement came shortly after the conclusion of a meeting of euro zone finance ministers in Luxembourg, including those of Belgium and France, both shareholders in the group. "The two governments are following the situation and will intervene if necessary," Belgian finance minister Didier Reynders told reporters in Luxembourg. According to ...

EUobserver / Brussels (16th November 2011) If the eurozone debt crisis and banking crisis escalate much further, there would be even worse fall-out for ordinary European citizens than we have already seen, says economist Zsolt Darvas from Bruegel, a European affairs think-thank. This week, there is talk that Belgium, a founding member of the EU could be one of the next to be pinched by the snowballing eurozone sovereign debt crisis. In this video , EUobserver asks some Belgians Uobserver asks some Belgians if this talk is justified and whether they are concerned for the future of the Belgian economy and the eurozone. One man feels the only way for the EU is to survive is by following the example of Germany. "Greeks need to be more disciplined, he insists. By Méabh Mc Mahon

The leaders of Germany and France have promised to unveil new measures to solve the euro zone's debt crisis by the end of the month. EUX.tv's Ray Frenken digests the latest developments in this euro crisis update. That as international pressure builds for bold steps from Europe to avert an economic backlash of global proportions. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said after talks in Berlin on Sunday evening that their goal was to come up with a sustainable answer to the problems in Greece. They also agreed on the need to recapitalise European banks and to present a plan for accelerating economic coordination in the euro zone before a G20 summit in Cannes on 3-4 November. But they declined to reveal any details of their plan ahead of an EU summit of heads of states on 17-18 October that is expected to flesh out the proposals. British Prime Minister David Cameron urged Merkel and Sarkozy to take a "big bazooka" approach to the crisis, telling the Financial Times that euro zone leaders had to break their cycle of doing "a bit too little, a bit too late". Meanwhile here in Brussels, the Belgian government has nationalized the Belgian arm of French-Belgian bank Dexia, which was severely exposed to Greek government debt. Belgium is taking on responsibility for some 60 percent of Dexia's debt, which can cost it as much as 60 billion euro. Economists are wondering what the consequences will be for Belgium'credit rating. Dexia is not the only ...

Protest movements are forming across Europe, mostly among young people. They have demonstrated in front of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and at a European Union summit in Brussels.Some commenters are calling this a new"protest culture"of a kind Europe hasn't seen in decades. The young protesters are demanding a more just distribution of wealth and want the power of the banks to be broken. They have little interest in traditional political parties or labor unions, which they say haven't learned any lessons from the financial crises of the past few years.

2011 WNSF Event: New Money For A New World As we witness the turmoil in Europe around the single currency and the search for solutions, few people are better equipped than economist, systems thinker and currency designer Bernard Lietaer, to shed light on the crisis and to share his vision for New Money For A New World. Co-designer and implementer of the convergence mechanism to the Euro, Bernard was our keynote speaker at an event hosted by the Women's Network for a Sustainable Future and the Earth Institute on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm, November 30, 2011 at the Altschul Auditorium in Columbia University's International Affairs Building. A long time proponent of currency innovations and monetary diversity, Bernard took us on a journey through the history of money. He demonstrated how our obsession with the monopoly of our centuries old monetary system has fostered instability as well as societal and ecological breakdown. In advocating diversity both in scale and type in our monetary ecology, Bernard showcased several innovative solutions, including examples of rethinking money already in play, that can "stop the juggernaut towards global self-destruction." As a monetary expert, Bernard has studied and worked in this field for more than 30 years in an unusually broad range of capacities: as a Central Banker, a currency fund manager, a university professor, and a consultant to governments in numerous countries, multinational corporations, and community organizations. He ...

EUobserver / Brussels (2nd December 2011) Over 50000 Belgians from the three main trade unions took to the streets this Friday (2 December) to protest against the budget proposals of the new government. "It is always the small man who has to pay", one man said insisting that he would not bare the brunt of a financial crisis that he did not cause. Some held banners that read "governments lie, banks rob and the rich laugh". After almost 600 days, a new government under the Socialist Elio di Rupo will be sworn in this week.

IMF adviser: The global economy could collapse 'in two to three weeks' www.rawstory.com International Monetary Fund (IMF) adviser Robert Shapiro said something quite alarming: without a plan to save the Euro, the global economy will collapse "in two to three weeks." Speaking about European leaders, Shapiro said: "If they can not address [the financial crisis] in a credible way I believe within perhaps two to three weeks we will have a meltdown in sovereign debt which will produce a meltdown across the European banking system. "We are not just talking about a relatively small Belgian bank, we are talking about the largest banks in the world, the largest banks in Germany, the largest banks in France, that will spread to the United Kingdom, it will spread everywhere because the global financial system is so interconnected. All those banks are counterparties to every significant bank in the United States, and in Britain, and in Japan, and around the world.
