"When bond yields rise, the market value of existing bonds drops, so any bank that owns the debt of any European country is suffering huge embedded losses. The banks don't mark these losses to market, so you can't see them on the balance sheet, but they're there." (Henry Blodget, Business Insider)

Não sei se o meu amigo sabe, mas o BCE está, pelos próprios estatutos (quem os terá redigido?), proibido de emprestar directamente dinheiro aos Estados. Assim, empresta aos bancos comerciais a 1% e estes emprestam aos Estados a 4%, 5%, 6%, etc.
Losses, diz você?
