Die Royal Bank of Scotland wird aufgespalten und in eine "good bank" und "bad bank" aufgeteilt. Im Rahmen der Restrukturierung übernimmt die Regierung faule Kredite in Höhe von 200 Milliarden Pfund. Das Pfund selber ging nach dieser Meldung auf Tauchstation. Insgesamt will die Regierung 500 Milliarden Pfund ins Bankensystem schleusen. Ein letzter dramatischer Rettungsversucht - meldet Times online.
500 Mrd. Pfund sind nach der Schwäche des Pfundes in den letzten Monaten nur noch 580 Mrd. Euro.
Wie sagte Jim Rogers schon vor Monaten: "It will cost more to prevent the recession than to have the recession".
The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is to be split into a “good bank” and “bad bank” in a dramatic rescue restructuring in which assets worth several hundred billion pounds will be put up for sale.
Large parts of the group’s investment-banking business will be earmarked for sale or closed down. Its Asian operations and retail operations across central and eastern Europe will also be sold off.
All these operations will be bundled together in a “bad bank” inside the group, which will report its figures separately.
A further £500 billion of taxpayers’ money is to be pumped into the banks through a slew of initiatives to be announced this week.
