Re: Sobre corralitos en España
Precisamente John Hussman habla del tema de los bancos que quiebran en su comentario semanal, y lo que dice coincide punto por punto con lo que yo defiendo, y son también las normas de la FDIC en palabras de su presidente Martin Gruenberg. Dímelo si necesitas que te lo traduzca:
On an encouraging note, there is a clearer direction from the FDIC in how it would respond to a major bank "failure" (a word that is often thrown about to scare the public into accepting bailouts, but in nearly all cases simply means that the bank would fail to pay off its own stockholders and bondholders). Last week, Martin Gruenberg, the acting FDIC Chairman, outlined the planned response of the FDIC to the resolution of a "systemically important" institution: "The most promising resolution strategy from our point of view will be to place the parent company into receivership and to pass its assets, principally investments in its subsidiaries, to a newly created bridge-holding company." In the process, shareholders would appropriately be wiped out, subordinated debt would be wiped out, senior unsecured debt could be written down to the extent that losses were still uncovered, and senior bondholders would get equity and convertible debt in the new restructured institution. Depositors would be unaffected, as would be other bank customers. Gruenberg observed "These measures go to the goals of accountability for investors in the failed company, and the viability of the new well-capitalized private entity. We believe that this resolution strategy will preserve the franchise value of the firm and mitigate systemic consequences. This responds to the goal of financial stability." This is very good news, and is also a largely proven strategy, because it's close to how Sweden durably resolved its own banking crisis in the early 1990's. This kind of response would provide a durable base for renewed economic growth following any future episode of major credit strains. If you have a financial crisis in which bad debt isn't restructured, there is really no moving ahead. It's good to see that there's somebody in charge who understands that.Es una pena que aquí nadie a cargo entienda estas cosas. Es como Suecia resolvió su crisis bancaria, y es como nosotros podríamos haber resuelto la nuestra.
