EU on the brink: Boris told to quit Brexit transition to protect UK from economic fall out

But the UK must continue to distance itself from the EU to avoid being dragged into the looming Eurozone financial crunch via liabilities of around £439 billion to the European Investment Bank and other agreements with Brussels.

The economy has suffered a heart attack worse that the 1929 depression. Business up and down the country going to the walls. No coming back quickly from this. What we are seeing it just the start of it

Deep fried ferile shorts love the smell.

Thousands have stopped paying their rent because of the clowns in gov telling them they are safe they can not be kicked out Leaving the landlords to suffer this is a disgrace I am not a land lord I do not rent out homes I have my family in my homes

Not at all.
As the pressure grows the government will provide further stimulus, its in their interest to ensure the frontline have direct access to cash.

Are you still on the coke from last night ?

No one on the planet wants government bonds after the first round of defaults.

The U.K. will be down the list, so might last out till Sep.

Have you not noticed, companies have stopped paying what they owe

Question rbs made more profit for last year than barcs How can this be Staley says the bank is better positioned than other banks Well the profits and all results say they are not Rbs the bankrupt bank is in better state than barcs

[smartie6] 02/4/2020 07:20

Looking on the bright side today.
Government will start to discuss alternative measures to ensure businesses get a direct lifeline. They have already announced no business should go bust by way of health issues.
The banks are extremely well capitalised and will only face minor defaults as the government steps in.
It will be recognised that there is significant value in banks by the market, credit ratings will significantly increase inline with capital retained, and balance sheets and share prices will soar.
Grumbles over dividends will be irrelevant as value will be in holding the stock.

buywell predicts the BOE will go to 0% rate within days


Next the BOE starts buying company bonds with newly printed money

Queues form but not enough lolly to round to all , so expect some to go under , ie some FTSE 250 companies possibly even a couple of FTSE 100 stocks if things get very dire..

UK debt will have to rise around 3 Trillion pounds to keep workers and businesses going

Some EU countries will be in a far dire predicament

Greece will most likely IMO go back to the Drachma and default on it's debts
Which is why the EU is going to have trouble now bailing out Italy and Spain

Dominoes are going to fall and the EU dream will IMO become a nightmare
Covid-19 has brought forwards EU disintegration by 3 to 4 years IMO , another country will IMO opt to get out within months , probably Hungary.

Not easy to be optimistic at the moment , better tell it like it is

The UK GDP figure in 2019 was 2.21 Trillion pounds

Currently government gross debt was £1,821.3 billion, equivalent to 85.2% of gross domestic product (GDP)

buywell sees UK debt having to rise to minimum 200% of GDP or 4.42 Trillion pounds

That is another 2.6 Trillion pounds needed from the above £1.8213 Trillion

Having our own currency and governance allows us to do that

It is all about survival now

Expect to see certain key companies get privatized to keep the lights on and gas and water running etc

Fed reserve reckon 47 million job losses in US within 3 months

UK had nearly a million in a week or two

So much for 80%s etc.

Default runs coming

[milliecusto] 01/4/2020 22:30

Shorts had a great day, dyor

[m1k3y1] 01/4/2020 22:23

buywell.......rather than dictating to commercial banks , the BoE should lend directly to those businesses who require support.

[buywell3] 01/4/2020 22:20

Expect the BOE to take further action if banks do not start lending to the one million smaller businesses that now need help or they go bust

it is coming

You guys blinded by dividends must watch your capital erosion

That light has just been switched off by the BOE so that England does not sink into the pit along with the EU

[buywell3] 01/4/2020 22:07

buywell said this 3 weeks ago --- it is IMO days away 200 Billion Euros wanted ASAP

Black Beauty: A Recovering Quadruped - LLOY



--------------- Covid 19 , Italy and the rest of the EU ----------------


Italy will IMO ask the EU for minimum 100 Billion Euros regarding Covid-19 costs within days

200 Billion Euros in a month if left that late as the economy of that country slows to next to a dead stop.

Other EU members affected by Covid-19 are IMO to follow the lead Italy sets

The cost to the EU in just loans to affected countries within the next 12 months will IMO be well over 1 Trillion Euros, this is JUST loans being made.

Total Covid-19 costs to the financial fallout to the EU will IMO be 10 times this number over the next 12 months.

Many listed companies will go bust IMO

Banks and other financial institutions will IMO be in default in many countries

Insurance claims by both big organizations/businesses and individuals due to Covid-19 losses look set to rocket.
