There is a reason why Italy keeps bailing out Monte Paschi, Italy's third largest, most scandal-ridden and most insolvent bank not to mention the oldest in the world, again and again and again, and which is currently demanding yet another bailout. The reason is presented in the chart below which shows the amount of Italian bonds held by the Italian bank. According to yesterday's earnings release, BMPS' Italian bond holdings just hit an all time high with Monte Paschi buying over €3 billion in Italian sovereign bonds in Q2 alone.

Putting the above into words:

• An insolvent government promises to provide more funny-money and guarantees to an insolvent bank, while in return...
• The insolvent bank keeps buying the bonds sold by the insolvent government, thereby...
• Continuing the charade that both entities are solvent

There has to be a name for such a truly "innovative" New Normal symbiotic relationship.

"...Monte PAschi was inevitable as Italian shenanigans were compounded by the following decisions :

Sarkozy's contribution to forming the unholy banking axis in Eurozone in 2009 along with Mutti intransigence.

1° Mutti said : no eurobonds, its every country for itself at the G20 conference of 2009. It became Euro policy.

2° Sarko said : OK, but you and I (Core Euro, WE ARE JOINT AND SEVERAL FOR OUR BANKS; to which Mutti agreed).       You others, Italy Spain etc., must buy your own country bonds and swap our bonds with our banks. If we don't have joint and several accross board Eurobonding, each national banking structure has to hold its own country loans as a priority. Get moving Banks! Start swapping your country loans.

This is the awesome two step that started the PIGS slide down the sovereign debt crisis from 2010 when Greek banks burned; under their own sovereign debt. 

The Mutti-Sarko legacy now coming home to roost; and when the sovereign cum bank debt had balooned (under market speculation as HFs had a field day) they had to call in SUper MArio and Squid medecine in 2011. 

We went from Bad to Worse! In terms of bank cum sovereign debt, but Mario said : I'm doing what it takes!  ..."  Comment
