HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025229.txt

In this document, a person named Mary discusses the events of August 4, 2011 regarding financial markets and the global recovery. Italy's equity markets sold off sharply and were eventually shut down after the ECB rejected being the buyer of last resort for Italian government bonds. The Bundesbank also has objections to this idea. The author mentions that Italy has a high debt load as a percentage of its GDP, and without a decision by Germany to move towards Federalism or more debt monetization by the ECB, the European Monetary Union could be facing its final stretch. Italian regulators have seized documents at Moody's regarding declines in Italian bank stocks as an indication of the pressure the system is under, and the possible search for scapegoats.
