A Friend in Need

The top part represents the total European Bailout Funds available currently and who is providing them, it is interesting to note that a large portion is provided by countries outside of Europe (USA + Japan at roughly €70 billion). Then the 2nd part shows how that money will be alocated, it seems they are estimating Portugal's needs to be higher than Ireland's... I guess time will tell.

  5. So why are we bailing out folks when we were recently bailed out by China?

  6. Seems like quite a sum coming from countries outside the EU. I understand that there are many foreign investments in European countries, but it still strikes me as odd that they'd give money into a general bailout fund. There must be something more to it I'm not seeing.

  14. Lets not forget that these "Bailout" are in fact high interest loans and unless the Euro collapses everyone will get paid back with a handsome profit.
