☆ Luxembourg’s Banque et Caisse d’Epargne de l’Etat (BCEE) Flies Through “Stress Test”

News Analysis: The Bank in Luxembourg: Banque et Caisse d’Epargne de l’Etat performed very well in its being reviewed by European Banking Authorities. It has a 16.3% Liquidity Ratio, well above a required minimum of 9% as derived from  “Basel Accord” Provisions.

The ‘Liquidity Coverage Ratio’ is set up so Financial Institutions can survive “Tremors” in short-timed liquidity situations. By holding a certain percentage of High-Liquidity Assets such as Treasury Bonds or Cash (the equivalent of or greater than the Bank’s Net Cash over thirty days time), a Bank is deemed to be “Less Stressed” since it has a minimum of 100% containment.  

The effects to possible Borrowers at a Bank is that it has less money available for short term loans.

‘BCEE’ performs with a Professionalism much in consonance with the Economic Awareness And Good Practices of other Monetary Elements in Luxembourg (which is of International Financial Renown).

Reality.

As Farmers Worldwide Know: In Nature, There is an Ebb, then a Flow

News Analysis: Western Australia is starting to enjoy an abundant grain harvest after several years of dismal  production. The prescient farmer who understands the concept of “Famine followed by Feast” will take economic measures to deal with the facts of farming. Such strategic moves as: Establishing long-term credit with financial institutions in his geographic area [if available]; Agronomy advice on the latest farming [and watering] techniques from the local college or university; Purchasing equipment that is reliable for low maintenance cost; Having worthy employees or contract help; And, of course, choosing the proper crop[s] to grow for the farm’s environmental locale.

The industrious Western Australians are now reaping what that have sown. They are a testament to farmers’ intrepidness: Reality.
