Dexia bailout plan looks unworkable: report (Market Watch)
MADRID (MarketWatch) -- France and Belgium are reportedly in fresh talks over
the rescue plan for troubled financial institution Dexia SA , according to a
report in Belgian newspaper De Standaard on Wednesday. The newspaper says the
Belgians want to renegotiate the bailout deal agreed with France and
Luxembourg in October, and get the French to take on a bigger chunk of
financing it. But with France's AAA credit rating already in question, media
reports said such renegotiations could put that rating at risk further. The
article quoted French Finance Minister Francois Baroin as saying the agreement
was "in no way questioned." A spokesman for Dexia could not immediately be
reached for comment.
