Footnotes
1
A bail-in is the counterpart of a bail-out, in which the government saves a financial institution by “bailing it out” (i.e., by buying a large share of it or paying off debts on its behalf).
 
2
Admittedly, the authority in question must be in a very bad situation and under specific circumstances for a bail-in scenario to take place, but the argument remains that it is a possibility under Europe’s current framework for resolving failing banks (the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive of 2014). As history has shown, this possibility is not only theoretical.

Inflation measured through CPI over 2001–2021; last database update on September 16, 2022.

With a 10% inflation rate, a currency loses half its value in about seven years.
