Германия извлекла выгоду в 100 миллиардов евро из греческого кризиса
Германия извлекла значительную финансовую выгоду от греческого долгового кризиса, считают эксперты Института экономических исследований в Галле (IWH).
Начиная с 2010 года немецкие власти сэкономили около 100 миллиардов евро или более 3% от ВВП благодаря снижению затрат по займам, так как инвесторы на фоне нестабильности в еврозоне искали укрытие для своих сбережений в немецких облигациях, толкая вниз процентные ставки по ним.
По наблюдениям IWH, каждый раз во время обострения греческого долгового кризиса процентный доход по облигациям Германии снижался. Когда появлялась надежда на заключение соглашения с Афинами, процентная ставка увеличивалась.

Germany saved €100bn from Europe's debt crisis - think tank
Fall in borrowing costs far outweigh costs of crisis to economy, says Leibniz institute
Germany has saved €100 billion since 2010 because its borrowing costs have fallen during Europe’s debt crisis - savings that outweigh the cost of the crisis to the German economy, an economic think tank has reported.
Investors have fled instability in the euro zone for the safety of German bonds since 2010, pushing down interest rates on those bonds. Paying less interest has helped the government save more than 3 per cent of gross domestic product, the Halle-based Leibniz institute for economic research said.
The institute created a model of a fictitious “normal” situation, without the crisis, to establish what German interest rates would have been, based on inflation and slack in the economy.
The report observed a close connection between political flashpoints in the euro zone debt crisis and fluctuations in the interest rate on German government bonds.
Interest on German government bonds fell sharply when markets saw bad news out of Greece, such as Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras’s decision in late June to hold a referendum on reforms demanded by its creditors. Similarly, rates rose on good news from Greece.
The total savings from this pattern since 2010, an estimated €100 billion, far outweigh the costs of the euro zone crisis to the German economy, even if Greece were to prove completely unable service its debts, the institute said.
Government bonds in other countries - including France, the United States and the Netherlands - have also benefited in the same way from the crisis, the report suggested, but on a smaller scale.
