There are some ways to unblock the logjam. Rather than immediately force banks to hold significant capital on their holdings of government bonds, European regulators could set limits for how many bonds from one country a bank can hold, suggests Christian Odendahl, chief economist at the London-based Centre for European reform. That, he says, could help overcome German resistance to a limited deposit reinsurance system.
