“One of the latest reports from the IMF discusses a super taxation of 10% on savings in the Eurozone. That would solve the debt problem in most sovereign countries.

Still, it appears to be ‘an efficient solution’ for the debt problem. For a group of 15 European countries such a measure would bring the debt ratio to ‘acceptable’ levels, i.e. comparable to levels before the 2008 crisis. One of the graphs (page 14) is also noteworthy: ‘Relative to previous projections, fiscal deficits are somewhat larger in most countries, reflecting a weaker economic environment.'”
