If German banks drop out of the refinancing business, the European Central Bank will lose the direct control over the German economy that it used to have via its interest rate policy. The main refinancing rate would then only be the rate at which the peripheral EU countries draw ECB money for purchases in the center of Europe, which ultimately would be the source of all the money circulating in the euro area.

Without additional refinancing mechanisms, there would be a sharp decrease in flows of official development assistance after 2015.

Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain s collective draw on Target credits forced the Bundesbank to reduce the refinancing credit that it issued by about 30 billion per year from 2008 to the end of 2010, when it stood at barely 90 billion. At that rate, it was predicted that the level could fall to zero within the next three years.

In September 2011, the Bundesbank s stock of refinancing loans, net of its deposit facilities vis à vis German banks, turned negative for the first time in history. The ECB s shifting of refinancing credit via the Target system has therefore already hit the limit, three years earlier than the trend of the past three years would have suggested.

The capacity for continuing this policy will soon be depleted, as the central bank money flowing from the GIPS countries to the core countries of the eurozone increasingly crowds out the money created through refinancing operations there. If this continues for two more years as it has for the past three, the stock of refinancing loans in Germany will disappear altogether.

Sixth, rising government debt ratios will eventually lead to increases in real interest rates that may crowd out private spending and even lead to sovereign refinancing risk.

So, after a totally flawed plan that would have given money to Greece too late only when the country risked a refinancing crisis and at market rates that would make its debt unsustainable, the EU regained its senses and designed a new scheme that is closer to typical IMF conditionality tranched support with some early front loaded support and a semi concessional interest rate.

Some 90 of the refinancing debt that the commercial banks of the GIPS countries (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain) hold with their respective national central banks served to purchase a net inflow of goods and assets from other eurozone countries. Two thirds of all refinancing loans within the eurozone were granted within the GIPS countries, despite the fact that these countries account for only 18 of eurozone GDP.

In cases where imported goods, to which contractual tariff rate or preferential tariff rate is applicable are subject to temporary rate, the lower tariff rate shall apply.

The second adverse effect of deflation is to raise the real interest rate, that is, the difference between the nominal interest rate and the rate of inflation. When prices are rising, the real interest rate is less than the nominal rate since the borrower repays with dollars that are worth less.
