Spain asks for 100 billion euros rescue package.

As early as May 28, Spains Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy denies that there is a need for a bail out fund.  But the state rescue fund, known as FROB has only 6 billion euros on hand.  The amount can give a chance for banks to really clean up balance sheet and strengthen the financial system.

What will the state do with the fund?  One is to follow the Irish example:  to put up a bad bank who will buy bad loans at say 30% to remove them from the bank;s balance sheet and at the same time shore up their liquidity.  Then maybe, the bank can buy back the bad loan if the market turns up right.

Is there a bank run in Spain?
