06/14/2016 - Avoiding Financial Repression: Commerzbank Considers Hoarding Billions In Cash To Avoid Negative Interest Rates
Commerzbank, one of Germany’s biggest lenders, is examining the possibility of hoarding billions of euros in vaults rather than paying a penalty charge for parking it with the European Central Bank, according to sources familiar with the matter .. “Such a move by a bank part-owned by the German government would represent one of the most substantial protests yet against the ECB’sultra-low rates, which have been criticised by politicians including Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble.”
