The government on Friday imposed harsh restrictions on the sale of preferred individuals, who will now be required to consent handwritten and when society is not listed on the stock exchange as was the case of the boxes, an investment minimum of 100,000 euros.
The Economy Minister Luis de Guindos, has advanced in the second part of the interview with EFE details royal decree approved by the Government on Friday, and that will impact on the operation of financial institutions in the future .
The royal decree not only set new standards for the sale of complex products of hybrid nature, such as preference shares, but also regulate the Asset Management Company (the so-called "bad bank") and redefine the policy framework of the Fund Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB), which will give greater oversight capacity.
The Government is determined to not repeat the scandal preferred a very complex product that banks sold in branches like deposits, private clients, often without knowledge, and sometimes without their consent.
A year ago the bank has a balance of 22,500 million in these financial products perpetual, ie that never expire, and whose remuneration is linked to the entity recorded profits.
It is estimated that more than a million customers were caught in the preferred savings, according to consumer groups, who have taken their case to the courts.
"These products are often sophisticated investors, not to place in banking networks," the minister pointed out, who is convinced that the new regulation "avoid situations like those we have experienced in recent years."
Starting next Friday, any entity that places preference shares at branches should devote half of the issue to institutional investors such as mutual funds, to which the same conditions that apply to individuals, to avoid discrimination.
Furthermore, when the issuer is not listed on the stock exchange, the buyer will be required a minimum investment of 100,000 euros. "This will also be an element that limited marketing opportunities," the minister pointed out.
Banks will also have to create a record of complex products so you know that "there are some products that, by their nature, are not the most suitable for the saver normal". Still, if a customer "wants to buy it, he will be forced to do their own handwriting that even though the product is not suitable for him, what you want to buy".
Solutions for affected
The new regulation will prevent a repeat of past mistakes, but still remains to solve the problem of savers who have been caught in these products and have not been able to recover their savings.
Most financial institutions are offering swaps preferred shares or other products, such as deposits, retrieving the money after a while.
However, entities that have received public aid, as Bankia, Novagalicia or CatalunyaCaixa, who were very active in the sale of these products, they can not do so because the European Commission requires that the cost of restructuring is also paid by your creditors, including those bought preferred.
The Minister explained to Efe that currently the Bank of Spain is negotiating with Brussels exchange conditions that cause the damage suffered by investors as possible are preferred.
Some financial media have reflected the possibility of offering these investors swap their bonds with a bond that can be traded on the secondary market, and even get a yield to maturity.
De Guindos has given no details, although it has been clarified that the product you receive in return will investors liquidity, ie, may be sold in the secondary market, "something that does not happen now with the preferred", and will have conditions "to compensate for these disadvantages somehow having the preferred".
