Germany's Exposure To Debt Crisis Above Govt Estimates
Data provided by Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble on Germany's liabilities in the European debt crisis underplay the country's risks, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported Friday, citing government sources.
In a report to a parliamentary finance committee last week, Schaeuble included only the risks from German contributions to the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Stability Mechanism (ESM).
He did not include German's 20% contribution to the E60 billion European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSM), or bilateral credits to Greece via the KfW Development Bank that amount to E15.2 billion, FAZ reported.
Taken together, the extra contributions bring Germany's total liability to E122 billion, according to FAZ. The Finance Ministry, it its latest online report, put the country's total exposure to the Eurocrisis at E95.3 billion.
