How an ELA will work for Greece - saving Trichet's bacon!
As discussed yesterday, the credit risk associated with a Greek ELA would ultimately be transferred to the other eurogroup sovereigns through their guarantee of the solvency of the Greek government (and thus of the Bank of Greece). This way, acceptance of SD rated Greek collateral would not directly affect the riskiness of the ECB’s own balance sheet, but only that of other eurogroup national governments.
