RE: Requisition of Eurozone Finance Ministers to support integrated banking union to foster financial stability 

Suggestion: We need a truly integrated banking union to foster financial stability

Good Morning Minister. Let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “Financial Times, London reported that EU fails to agree on bank bailout rules after nearly 18 hours of negotiation last Saturday morning”. European banks are still in distress because some of the banks still hold large quantities of debt. We cannot force non-euro countries to abide by the same rules as eurozone members because they have no access to the ECB for liquidity. But all eurozone countries should abide bank bail out rule. Why do eurozone finance ministers not willing to share the burden of a bail out? The eurozone sovereign debt cannot be managed effectively at the national level because it is very expensive process when done at national level, it contributes heavily to their sovereign debt burdens and it ignores cross border externalities. Moreover, fiscal position of the many eurozone governments is vulnerable. But financial stability needs fiscal backstop which is politically controversial at eurozone. Thus, national level approach seems highly inefficient.

Minister, we need a truly integrated banking union in which bind rule among national governments to share the burden of failing banks. We have to commit moving towards integrated banking union in which bank regulation and supervision, deposit guarantee and the handling of troubled banks. This would make the single market in European banking substantially more effective. Thus, it would foster financial stability by weakening the link between debt-burdened governments and troubled banks. The essence of burden sharing is that government commit on a voting scheme that determines the bail out decision. It can limit the degree of loss of eurozone sovereignty through eurozone finance minister’s cooperation. If eurozone finance ministers are non-cooperative, the bank recapitalisation policy is inefficient. Thus, it cannot help to achieve eurozone financial stability.             

Minister, I most humbly prayed you as a responsible leader of eurozone member states, implementing the burden sharing agreements can facilitate the efficient resolution of cross border externalities and thus foster financial stability across eurozone.

Minister, please accept, your Excellency, the assurances to support integrated banking union to foster financial stability. Delays always ramp crisis resolution costs upward.

YEMEN CIVIL WAR

To:     The Right Honourable French President Hon. Emmanuel Macron From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: December 22, 2018 RE:      Yemen Civil War Suggestion: Hon. President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. We have seen Yemen civil war countless times. If I am not wrong, there have been 8 wars or insurgencies killing up to 180,000 Yemenis since 1934. There have been additional 50,000 are believed to be died by starvation and 2250 are believed to be died by Cholera since Saudi Arabia intervened in 2015. The Saudi Arabia-led intervention in 2015 has been criminal and brainless decision which is based on an erroneous evaluation of the traits of the Yemen civil war. The Yemen civil war draws its reason from decades of marginalisation on the Arab tribe of the Huthis by an autocratic rules sponsored by the KSA. Yemenis struggle is being led for more justice and a fairer distribution of national wealth f...
