In addition to the clearing agreements, Schacht devised the system which came to be known as the "aski" accounts.

Hitler finally accepted Schacht's resignati... | Yale Avalon (nca_vol2): Part 12 - Hjalmar Schacht | 9,900 | 10,400 |
early as May 1936, he emphatically stated that he would "never be party to an inflation" (1301-PS). In January 1939, Schacht was convinced that ruinous inflation was, in fact, imminent (EC-369). There was, it appears, ample basis for his fear.
