The average blue-chip Dow Jones falling 207 points, or 1.7 per cent to close at 11, 706.62. MF Global Holdings, a large investment bank, saw its shares plunge boutiques as investors merepet the number of the European debt it holds. /pp/pp here are the answers to questions about the European economy unraveling the sequence. /pp t: Why the EU Finance Ministers cancel meeting them? /pp a: for various reasons, but clearly a battle between the 17 members of the European Union use the euro as their currency and 10 members who have their own currency. These 10 members, especially the United Kingdom, do not want to agree to anything ahead of the meeting Of States. /pp t: why is that a big deal? /pp a: generally, financial head details, do the heavy lifting and the head of State then basking in the glory of the announced agreement. Currently, however, difficult decisions will fall to the head of State. Unlike the Minister of finance, they will have to answer to voters, and they’re likely to see a solution through the prism of politics, not economics. /pp q: what holds the deal? /pp a: leaders divided on how much risk to assume when extending existing bailout funds and how to proceed with Greece, debt that is the spark that triggered the crisis. Now it is widely hoped that Greece would default structured on bonds, something that hasn’t happened in the developed world in modern times. Leaders question EU disagree is the amount of the bond holders hit Greece must take: fifty cents on the dollar? More? /pp quick economic damage to Greece means that previous bailout numbers can work only if bondholders took some losses. Published reports suggested that Germany-Europe as de facto leader, as the largest economy — want to bondholders to take this loss of 60 per cent, while the junior partner of the French want a number closer to 40 percent. The initial plans anticipated investor losses in the range of 20 percent. /pp/pp q: what is the percentage gap thing? /pp j: Yes. Losses above 50 percent to make it difficult for the treats such as bondholders to deal as a default structured voluntary, where bondholders receive new bonds with a better investment return in exchange for agreeing to the losses on the old one. The question of voluntary vs. involuntary problems due to the exceptional speculative bets that were made about a possible debt default. This bet is made through credit default swaps, wrecking insurancelike financial instruments which reinforced the US financial crisis in 2008 and now threatens to do the same in Europe. Voluntary restructuring should be done in a way that financial markets do not consider to be a technical standard. /pp q: why credit default swap problems? /pp a: swap bonds issued against five of the biggest European economies have been estimated at about $ 93 billion. Revamp of financial regulation in the United States (2010), known as Bill Dodd-Frank, trying to put the settlement mechanism more regularly in place after the Government rescued the financial giant American International Group. It has made billions of dollars worth of bets through swaps – which acts like a default insurance-but that does not have the capital to honor a bet when the market tanked and there is no official betting exchange which can be resolved. Today, credit default swaps remain lightly regulated globally. They represent the storm clouds that threaten European debt. /pp t: bank not only forced to take a loss on bonds? /pp a: that could lead to some kind of credit experienced in 2008, when financial institutions are not sure who owes what to whom and loans of any kind of screeched to a halt. The US Federal Reserve could thaw the credit eventually to become a lender of last creative, moving that saved the u.s. economy from depression but also drew the ire of Congress. It is not clear that the European Central Bank has the authority to act, and the European Union has 27 different Ministry of finance than a Treasury Department. /pp head of the influential Institute of International Finance, global trade group for the major banks, warned in a statement late Monday that there may be a consequence of default messed up. / pp
