ECB's Weidmann says Monte dei Paschi bailout must be carefully weighed: Bild

European Central Bank policymaker Jens Weidmann said plans for a state bailout of Italian bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena should be weighed carefully as many questions remain to be answered, according to German newspaper Bild. "For the measures planned by the Italian government the bank has to be financially healthy at its core. The money cannot be used to cover losses that are already expected," Bild quoted Weidmann as saying in a summary of an article due to be published on Tuesday.
