EU: "Contagion has spread across the markets"

Two French banks were downgraded Wednesday and two are on review. Questions about a Greek default soon to be answered. Amplify’d from www.reuters.com European finance ministers have been warned confidentially of the danger of a renewed credit crunch as a "systemic" crisis in euro zone sovereign debt spills over to banks, according to documents obtained by Reuters on Wednesday. In a report prepared for ministers meeting in Poland on Friday and Saturday, senior EU officials said the 17-nation currency area faces a "risk of a vicious circle between sovereign debt, bank funding and negative growth." "While tensions in sovereign debt markets have intensified and bank funding risks have increased over the summer, contagion has spread across markets and countries and the crisis has become systemic," the influential Economic and Financial Committee said. The report highlighted European policymakers' challenge to restore confidence as the leaders of Germany,
