WHAT'S A FEW TRILLIION MORE OR LESS??

I link to another article below mostly because it features in one of its paragraphs a SIGNIFICANT $12 TRILLION U.S. and EUROPE INTER-LOAN/BANKING connection and helps to explain WHY European countries are/were SO unhappy with Trump's s-election.

Altho $2 Trillion more than a figure used in earlier post, just below this one, from a caller to C-Span, which I extracted, it is close enough.

What's a trillion more or less, here or there, between friends??

First, paragraph from link below to which I refer:


"...As I reported last week, the epicenter of the illiquidity shock to the banking system is American banks’ dollar loans to European banks, a vulnerability first flagged by the Bank for International Settlements in its September 2017 Quarterly Report. With $12 trillion in outstanding net liabilities to American banks, European banks faced a funding squeeze gauged by the so-called cross currency basis swap – the cost of swapping Euro or yen cash flows for dollars...."

Then, see my other post, NEWS FLASH, just below to which I refer with a 10 Trillion figure.

AND, FOLLOW ALL THREADS, PREVIOUS ENTRIES, BACKWARDS, AS WELL.

PLOT THICKENS!!
