Peer Shtaynbruk said that revenues from this tax will be used for reimbursement of governments to resolve the current crisis, including measures to financial incentives and saving banks.
"The costs of this crisis should not fall solely on the shoulders of taxpayers," - said the Minister.
A source close to Shtaynbruku, said that under his proposal, all financial transactions with banks, insurance companies and investment funds should be taxed at the level of 0,005%.
A spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel told Financial Times, that she was ready to discuss international tax on the transaction at the summit of the big twenty "in Pittsburgh, but added that the chances of that agreement is reached on this issue practically no. "You can not put forward these ideas two weeks before the summit - he said. - I suspect that by Shtaynbruka is just pre-election move."
