As the first European country France has reached an agreement with its banks and insurance companies on the reinvestment of 70% of the current debt of Greece to France. It is intended that more European countries will follow. Today in Rome, the package will be discussed at a meeting of the Institute of International Finance (IIF), the global organization of financial institutions. In addition to large European banks, government officials, representatives of the ECB, the EU and European insurance companies will attend this meeting.

Last weekend the Basel Committee has reached an agreement on the additional capital requirement for large banks. Large banks will need to maintain between 1% and 2.5% more capital than "ordinary" banks. The committee hopes to prevent a new financial crisis in this manner.
