Here are two telling charts rarely seen side by side:
Let's spell out some numbers:
- Total deposits from non-residents fell 36.35% year on year in January 2011 (€190.88bn) and 3.71% mom (€12.685bn)
- Private sector deposits from non-residents fell 22.89% yoy (€22.888bn) or 0.79% mom (€0.616bn)
- Total private sector deposits from Irish residents declined 9.05% yoy (€16.613bn) and 0.82% (€1.6387bn) mom
- No media outlet to my knowledge told us just how much distrust in our financial system do foreigners have
No surprise really. I mean, what non-resident would want to leave deposits in Irish banks?!
