Implode-o-Meter News - Would Germany Bail Deutsche Bank Out?

Deutsche cannot pay $14 billion without raising a great deal of cash. Deutsche has put aside $5.5 billion for paying fines. A mere 9 billion short. So could Deutsche go down? Financially yes it could. But politically, I doubt it. And it's the tension between these two answers, between the parlous financial state and the huge political significance of Deutsche,Â thatÂ I find interesting.
Deutsche is Germany's only G-SIB (Global Systemically Important Bank). Â Deutsche is Germany's financial flag carrier. It stands at the centre of Germany's long held desire to have Frankfurt eclipse London as Europe's financial centre... France has three G-SIBs. The balance between France and Germany within Europe would shift. MaintainingÂ that balance between France and Germany, at the heart of Europe, has been critical in European affairs since WWI.
