Tradervox.com (Dublin) – Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe is set to rule of bids to stop Germany from participating in the permanent bailout fund in eight weeks according to an email statement released yesterday. Investors and analysts have indicated that this might have a detrimental effect on the region despite the efforts by the ECB to lower interest rates. The European Stability Mechanism, which is the permanent bailout fund for the euro zone has been the center of debate and some countries other than Germany have expressed their discontentment with the decision which was made by the EU Summit.
According to the Government Spokesman Steffen Seibert, the Federal Constitutional Court held comprehensive hearing on the matter and will need some time to make a decision. However, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble had warned against a long delay in making a decision saying that it could lead to worsening of the debt crisis in the region. But Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel has reiterated that Germany will not agree with joint debt suggestions proposed by French President Francoise Hollande. In an Interview on Monday, Merkel did not give any grounds for her demands for centralized control over the euro members. However, she said that efforts to bring on solidarity without supervision will not succeed.
The euro has remained down against major currencies as the situation in euro zone continues to take more victims. Investors have continued to seek safe haven currencies hence reducing Germans two-year bond yields to a record of negative 0.052 percent. The decision by the FCC has come a day before the German lawmakers return to Berlin to vote of disbursement of loans to Spain amounting to 100 billion Euros. Efforts to bailout Spanish banks and the sovereign took a new turn after Spanish Prime Minister announced 65 billion euros in tax increases and welfare cuts to help shield the country. Angela Merkel has said that the loans will not be given without condition hence there is expectations of delays in the disbursement and utilization of such loans.
