Betting On Grexit

A majuscule flying machinery I hadn't persuasion of, from  Hans-Werner Sinn (HT Marginal revolution)
Basically, Greek citizens guide maintain out loans from local banks, funded largely past times the Greek key bank, which acquires funds through the European Central Bank’s emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) scheme. They thus transfer the coin to other countries to buy unusual assets (or redeem their debts),... 
 In Jan in addition to February, Greece’s TARGET debts increased past times close €1 billion ($1.1 billion) per day, owing to majuscule flying past times Greek citizens in addition to unusual investors. At the terminate of April, those debts amounted to €99 billion. 
I knew Greeks are taking coin out of banking concern deposits, in addition to parking it abroad, in addition to that inwards the terminate this coin came from the ECB. When a Greek depositor wants his or her money, the Greek banking concern gets it from the Greek key bank, who gets it from the ECB, which prints it (metaphorically). It had non occurred to me that of course of didactics borrowing every cent yous tin flame from a Greek banking concern in addition to parking it abroad is simply every bit smart.

Of course, If Hellenic Republic leaves the Euro, the Greek key banking concern goes bust, the ECB loses in addition to Greek borrowers or ex-depositors proceed their euros.

Hans-Werner seems to intend majuscule controls are a skilful persuasion to halt this run. I intend the probable imposition of majuscule controls is simply why people are running inwards the get-go place. Similarly, if both Hellenic Republic in addition to Europe were to credibly enjoin that Greek authorities default volition non hateful leaving the euro that would besides halt the run.

But tidings for the solar daytime is this interesting run on the borrowing side, non simply the depositor side.
