    Re: Markets

    The European Central Bank (ECB) was the first to make the move - releasing 95bn euros on Thursday, before injecting another 61bn euros a day later, and now an extra 48bn euros.
    That's 204Bn Euros from the ECB alone. We, at the National Bank of Belgium, were called upon to donate a small part of that and it caused a bit of a ripple here. If it comes back at a higher cost we could get a fair old hosing. These huge chunks of cash are great, but they don't come free, and the price of a 200Bn Euro intervention has to be paid by someone. Sure we have still quite a lot of cash in our pockets, but if the market stays shaky we could easily decide that too much is too much.

    Indeed - I find it pretty interesting how the BoE have taken a passive "hey, just come and ask if you need cash" attitude.

    Seems like they're as unsure as anyone...
