Ironic as it is, Slovakia will have to put itself in debt in order to cover its commitment to the EUR 700 billion ESM, which has been set up to deal with debts of countries in trouble, but can now also be used to bail out banks. The government plans to issue government bonds to raise the required finances at a time when it is also trying to reduce the public finance deficit by introducing a whole series of new taxes and levies.”
