    €2.2 trillion TLTRO results in a subsidy of €32 per capita. Time to end this farce.

    Some news from the dual rate: "At the time of writing, there were EUR 2,190 bn of TLTRO III borrowings outstanding, meaning that the Eurosystem could pay a subsidy up to EUR 11 bn per year"

    5) cherry-pick the ranking that calls you a climate leader (based on a small sample of banks)

    3) minimize your exposure to fossil fuel companies by only focusing on a part of the supply chain

    2b) compare them to the global energy mix, which has more coal (misleading because bank is active in countries with low coal use)

    1) focus on the bank's direct emissions (misleading because most greenhouse gas emissions come from loans)

    Strong argument in favor of private banks. La Banque Postale, NWB Bank, Sber, BayernLB, SFIL: all publicly-owned.

    How nice of the to name & shame: 1) Banks that did not calculate the liquidity ratios with the correct methodology: Alpha Bank, Cajamar, Barclays, DSK, Eurobank, Kutxabank, La banque Postale, Nederlandse Waterschapsbank, Sebrbank, Volksbank Verbund.

    Both BBVA and KBC not only 'go big' (i.e. increase their stakes in foreign markets), they also 'went home': -BBVA sold its bank in the USA -KBC sold its bank in Ireland
