Is it good the financing of the central banks?
There are economists who harshly criticized the policies of central banks to provide short-term liquidity to banks against the security of their assets and the reason is that it leads to the bank assume more risks. Why? Because the basis of sound financial health, and any accountant knows, is not to go "blocking" the long-term debt with short-term loans. Of course I would have been without it almost impossible the last major upturn in economic activity in recent years. I will explain:
A bank may consider a good investment to buy debt to 10 years in the business "Constructonic" because it pays the Euribor +200 points, and he can use to achieve that debt financing of the ECB in the auctions of 3 months, 14 days or the daily injections overtime . Perhaps his goal was not to know that but it can resort to this liquidity and earn a big difference leads to an increase in its balance sheet with excess purchases like that. It is similar to the individual who signs a mortgage confident that it will increase salaries or improve your home value without having sufficient resources in the present.
Whether or not an error that "Dad central bank" is always there, and lately that even accepting as collateral to lend money to commercial banks to stock shares, that is the case today without that aid the international financial system would fall apart and it would be worse, then it is not clear whether good or bad, right now it is clear that it is essential. Thus, it would be desirable is that this money is to cover debts and to ensure a balance of liquidity but not enough to increase appropriations or long-term investment. That would be the best for the financial health but completely drowns the economic activity because without investment banking is not possible to get out of this crisis. That is the great debate.
At the forum attached to this site to read sometimes unsure of what banks do with this money and if you use it to buy oil or gold. The situation is so bad that I see it very unlikely. In addition, gold, crude and generally all commodities are moved primarily by the futures market, which needs very little cash outlay, and those who move are often investment funds and not commercial banks.
The Bank of Spain to monitor more to banks endurecería conditions of individuals and businesses to access liquidity as is already happening, that leads to lower economic activity and more unemployment, making late payments and bank increases not only reduce the revenues The banking, in addition to increased losses. That is the vicious circle in which we are involved.
The proposed solution is to assume the debts USA "toxic" and ordered its banks to recover what they can from such investments, thus the bank would no longer require provisions for those with their liquidity positions (which losses are "a reassessment" but need not be the end, unless they are issued by companies or individuals in bankruptcy) and bank balances improved greatly and thus could provide this liquidity for the economic recovery. This measure has a moral component very dangerous because the bank that has managed and has no debts "toxic" did not receive any help and that you've done fatal receives a multimillion-dollar aid of taxpayers' money. But that is another issue, the question here is whether it is economically correct, or whether, as with the case of "Dad ECB," knowing that the final status is going to help, will cause banks to new risks in their investments, using The financial engineer to build castles in the air and, ultimately, do not use that cash to invest, create jobs and break the vicious circle.
How will the USA that the banking authorities to use this liquidity sanity, who defined what is a risky investment and what is not? How do you get ECB? That is the other great debate and nothing will serve all the exceptional measures if this is not clarified because if we put in place a bank branch manager who has among his clientele a late payment of 3% and fear that can bend and central bank has told you to monitor the credits because they do not have liquidity, do you risk with the small entrepreneur who wants to open a parlor or at a pair of sweethearts who want to buy a house? I fear that all this liquidity may be intended only slightly riskier investments such as state bonds and then there will be no way out of crisis.
And to complete the usual summary of the press in a day's stock market rebounds:
- Government will guarantee the new debt from the banks until 2009
- The countries of the eurozone by approving an ambitious plan to end the crisis
- RBOS, HBOS and Lloyds of London accepted the rescue and Barclays comes to its shareholders
- What you can do with the money when everything is sinking
- Santander last purchase of Sovereign
- The major central banks will provide unlimited liquidity in dollars
- General Motors and Chrysler both a possible merger to overcome the crisis
- "Where is my money?"

The Españolito ...
Why resist the Spanish economy?
Will the banks?
Will the governments?
Will it be super-coconut?
I I explicación.Es simple:
History has made us well, Españolitos: that race can be more expensive vices but also able to turn off the tap and settle for what it is. We are well. We have become accustomed to this. It is what we have "suckling" has always been: on one side with the grandparent counting the hardships of war, on the other, taking pictures with our latest generation of mobile.
The Españolito is because the land where they live has been one of the most Gerra of the plant. Melting pot say they are calling.
And that is what makes being bad if we do not let's take hands to his head and we despair. No. We are well. THE Españolito already have in their heads that the cuts will do in their economy ...
... Will be removed and the latest generation of mobile ...
... And leave the car I had in mind for another time ...
... And if necessary, stretched the shoes that are beginning to be roídos and buy white mark at the supermarket ...
Why?
Because what is not is never qutará that "knowing how to live" that makes you enjoy a wine rancid while remembers the days when the French drank champagne. But there it is, with its bulk Vinita, once again, enjoying as they can afford.
Red bulk ... Come!. Who said crisis?
