The FINANCIAL — According to EU business, the German government, the Bundesbank central bank and market regulators agreed with the private banking sector October 5 on a new 50-billion-euro rescue package for stricken bank Hypo Real Estate, the finance ministry said.
On top of a public-private deal last month to extend a 35-billion-euro credit line to Germany's fourth biggest bank, the financial sector will offer an additional 15 billion euros, the ministry said in a statement.
"With this mutually agreed solution, the institution will be stabilised and with it, Germany strengthened as a place to conduct finance in difficult times," it said.
