The ECB has just come out in favour of the NAMA proposal, In a legal opinion published on its Web site today, the ECB said Nama created no major legal state aid problems or unfair advantages, adding it should help strengthen Irish banks' balance sheets and increase liquidity.

That I understand the bonds to capitalise Nama & pay for the assets will come from the ECB

Not so sure re the bonds to re-capitalise the banks after
