Egon von Greyerz continues:
“There is so much bad news every single day that people are not reacting to it. What will happen is all of this pent-up risk is going to erupt one day. I’m seeing the dominos falling here, daily.
We talked about Spain last time. Spain has now borrowed $415 billion from the ECB, and that’s about 63% of the total ECB lending. Bad debts in the Spanish banks are going up at record levels. Bad debts over the last 3 months are now 8% of total debt. That’s massive.
