Soros : EU banks' credit to Emerging Markets

  • Just saw an interview of George Soros on CNBC, by Maria Bartiromo.
  • Can't find the internet link anywhere. Will post link if I can find it later.
  • According to him (citing BIS figures as of Mar11), EU banks' claims on EM = USD 3 trillion; US banks' = USD 750 billion and Japanese banks' = USD 300 billion.
  • Thus, potential serious recessionary implications if EU banks were to pull back credit provision to EM due to their own balance sheet retrenchment.
