Dollars to the European Rescue
Keywords:
The Wall Street Journal's reporting in Sept, 2011, on France's bank BNP Paribas. Contributor Nicolas Lecaussin quoted a BNP Paribas executive saying the bank no longer had access to dollar funding. There is a loss of dollar funding to French banks from U.S. money market funds as the funds reduce exposure and shorten maturities. Analysts point to the French banks having one of the lowest ratios of liquid assets to short term funding needs in Europe. This reporting was questioned by BNP Paribas and French government officials. This happened as central banks including the U.S. Fed intervened in markets in September 2011, to ensure full availability of dollar funding to French banks.

01/21/2010
In addition to Basel 3 rules for capital cushions, individual countries have come up with additional safety buffers. Britain's independent banking commission has proposed an additional 3% buffer for large banks. Swiss regulators are asking the largest Swiss banks to have an additional 9% in convertible capital as an additional safety buffer, which would also discourage excessive risk taking.

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.
