The high loan to deposit ratios of European banks and short term borrowings from money markets
06/10/2012
The loan to deposit ratios for European banks are on average over 110%. For U.S. banks it is about 78%. This means banks rely on borrowed money from money markets and other institutions, for loans made in excess of the deposits made at the banks. The borrowings are on a short term basis. The loan to deposit ratios for Spanish banks are about 160% for Bankia, and 115% for Banco Santander. The situation is similar in Italy.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
