  • ...35 more annotations...
  • three-pronged reform agenda
  • capital plan
  • capital holes
  • it would be somewhere between €100bn ($137bn) and €200bn.
  • the plan needs to change
  • forced to meet the planned 9 per cent core tier one capital ratio in such a short time
  • determined not to raise fresh money – either from shareholders, because equity prices are so disastrously low, or from the state, because of an understandable fear of being stigmatised as a bailed-out bank that is weaker than its rivals
  • they would shrink their balance sheets, reducing the risk-weighted assets (or lending commitments) that form the denominator of their capital ratios, rather than boosting the capital that forms the numerator.
  • shrinkage of available bank credit across Europe
  • protesting about the lack of funding.
  • politicians and small business
  • the banks are bluffing
  • There is a strong reason to call their bluff
  • second prong
  • that will not be enough
  • normalise banks’ access to liquid funds in the bond markets.
  • Dexia,
  • often not insufficient capital that kills a bank (Dexia’s ratios were top-notch) but a lack of liquidity
  • short-term funding and long-term lending commitments proved fatal.
  • International regulators
  • come up with a new measure
  • the net stable funding ratio
  • will limit profitability and the banks have protested. But it should happen.
  • there needs to be a quick fix, too
  • there has been no issuance of bank bonds
  • Only with a temporary guarantee from a European Union vehicle can bond markets be reopened.
  • policymakers need to tackle the root cause of the problems in the periphery – namely, their budgetary mismanagement.
  • Silvio Berlusconi
  • must be ousted by the Italian people
  • entirely within the gift of those preparing for the weekend summit.
  • first two reforms
  • brave political calls, laying policymakers open to accusations of handing money to bankers again
  • the lesser of two evils
  • accompanied by an enforceable regime of business lending commitments
  • normal rules of capitalism have already been suspended. We should stop pretending otherwise and make the necessary intervention quickly and decisively
