German banks

Summary:
The 40B per month of asset purchases by the ECB create non-risk reserve assets in surplus Germany causing the denominator in DB's Leverage Ratio to continually increase and the ratio to violate the threshold....Checkmate... again....This will stop if the ECB doesn't renege on its promise to stop these purchases next month and then Europe should start to turn up slightly...Or.... its all part of the "vast neo-liberal conspiracy!!!"....

Or.... its all part of the "vast neo-liberal conspiracy!!!"....
