ECB and Greek debt crisis custom essay

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”arp1″]

Fact 1: The European Council, at its Summit on 26 October 2011, decided to implement the
Private Sector Involvement (PSI) initiative in the prospective restructuring of Greece. The
PSI is expected to involve a 50% voluntary reduction on privately held Greek sovereign debt.
Fact 2: The Eurosystem has purchased GGBs (Greek Government Bonds) under the
Securities Market Programme (?SMP?). The SMP is a monetary policy instrument, without
investment objectives. However, there are other GGBs that were bought by the Eurosystem
for investment purposes (i.e. not under the SMP). The ECB holds approximately EUR40
billion in nominal value of GGBs governed by Greek law (approximately 90%) and English
law (approximately 10%). In addition, the Eurosystem NCBs also hold a percentage of the
GGBs. These bonds were purchased on the secondary market at prices prevailing at the time,
i.e. at a discount. The ECB?s position regarding the PSI is controversial and might have a negative impact on
other bondholders? willingness to participate. In this context, the ECB seeks your opinion to
ascertain whether: there are any legal arguments to have their debt exempted from the PSI.
