Selon Bloomberg, un plan secret de la FED a accordé un soutien massif aux banques US
C'était le plus important plan de renflouement financier de l'histoire des banques. Et il a bien failli rester secret. Son montant ? 7 770 milliards de dollars !
c'est Pierre Jovanovic qui va encore avoir une crise 777
dite amen ! on n'a pas fini de payer
on a là l'autre versant du terrorisme international
pfffff !!! C' est le début d' une légende du Web.
sur forum-eco Incognito a écrit :Les articles de Bloomberg à ce sujet sont assez farfelus. Un prêt à une semaine de 1 milliard qui serait renouvelé pendant 52 semaines de suite par exemple, cela ferait tout de suite 52 milliards selon Bloomberg. On arrive vite à des montants faramineux en calculant de cette manière, surtout que les prêts de la Fed étaient souvent à très court terme. Par ailleurs, la Fed publie son bilan chaque semaine, et inclut les montants en question.
Merci Incognito.
Ca m' a mis la puce à l'oreille et j' ai donc cherché à creuser cette piste.
j' ai donc trouvé :
$7.77 trillion in secret Federal Reserve loans to banks?
I have been looking into the claim recently made by any number of internet sites (for example, here's one of the many hundreds, if you insist on a link) that the Federal Reserve made $7.77 trillion in secret loans to banks. The claim is outrageously inaccurate, as I explain below.
.........
This is a very elementary point in economics or accounting. A loan is what we refer to as a "stock" variable. It's measured in units of dollars at a particular point in time. It is a completely meaningless exercise to take outstanding loan amounts at different dates and add them up as if it's one big total.
.............
I contacted the reporters who prepared the Bloomberg story to try to learn some more details. They communicated to me that those who claim that the Fed provided $7.77 trillion in secret loans to banks have misinterpreted their article. Specifically, they clarified that the $7.77 trillion number was not intended to represent loans the Fed actually made, but instead refers to loans it potentially might have made, that the number refers not to loans to banks but to the broader financial sector, and that Bloomberg's use of the term "secret" in describing these loans refers not to the total amount but instead to the specific identities of the recipients.
The source for the $7.77 trillion figure turns out to be this Bloomberg article from March 31, 2009. At the end of that second article is a table that breaks down what it calls the "limit" on various categories of Federal Reserve lending.
..............
You're free to take your own position on whether these programs had beneficial effects. But please know that anyone who tells you that the Federal Reserve secretly loaned $7.77 trillion to banks is spreading a lie.

le chiffre de 7770 milliard provient de quelques lignes de Bloomberg sorti de leur contexte.
l' article en question :
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-2 ... ncome.html dans Bloomberg du 28 Nov 2011
ca dit
....Add up guarantees and lending limits, and the Fed had committed $7.77 trillion as of March 2009 to rescuing the financial system....
Les 7770 milliards d' aides au banque est donc complétement fantaisiste.
Evidemment ce truc se propage sur internet et personne ne vérifie la source.
Comme d' hab.
