The eurozone is considering helping Spain assuring investors that buy Spanish debt in order to keep open the country's access to capital markets and reduce the cost of a bailout for European taxpayers, according to European sources claimed on Thursday.
A source said the plan could cost about 50,000 million euros a year. This initiative, the report said, would allow Spain to fully cover its financing needs and the ECB to start buying Spanish bonds in the secondary market.
Under this option, the officials consulted say being negotiated between Madrid, Paris, Berlin and Rome, the new permanent bailout fund (ESM) would ensure between 20% and 30% of each new issue Spanish.
The Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Kataine, put this idea on the table after meeting Tuesday with French President François Hollande, saying: "To safeguard our public money, we could consider that the ESM will intervene in the primary market with a leverage effect to guarantee part of the debt issued by Spain. "
It would be the first time that the eurozone use his scheme to ensure losses, created last year to support struggling countries before they lose market access, unlike full bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Another option would be for the ESM to buy Spanish debt auctions directly without using this scheme, but do not get the same level of leverage. Fund rules allow you to buy up to half of each issue within an assistance program.
In any case, Spain would have to sign a memorandum of understanding with its European partners, committing to a timetable to introduce austerity measures and economic reforms and to accept international monitoring of compliance.
In EU jargon, the rescue would take the form of a loan with improved conditions with investor protection (ECCL +, for its acronym in English), a mechanism that allows a country to take funds from a credit line the euro area and use them to buy their own bonds on the primary market or to protect investors who buy debt, sources said.
Market pressure
A Spanish government spokesman said he was not aware of such discussions and that Spain was focused on establishing a joint European banking and commitments of a meeting of euro zone leaders adopted in June.
Financial markets and the majority of euro area countries are pressuring Spain to request help to finance its debt after a loan obtained in June to 100,000 million euros to recapitalize their banks.
Rising expectations that Madrid seek support helped reduce borrowing costs of Spain on Thursday at an auction of nearly 4,000 million euros.
Euro zone sources told Reuters this week that Madrid was ready to take the step of asking for help, but said that Germany should hold.
"We're talking about no more than 50,000 million euros," said a European source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of economic and political sensitivity of the matter.
"Under this scheme, the conditions pose States and would ensure that the ECB would meet and firepower," he said.
Another euro zone source said that this was the main option that is currently studying.
"A comprehensive program that Spain would pull out of the market cost about 300,000 million euros in two years ... But nobody wants a complete, no one wants them out of the market," said the second source.
Ensure the first losses
"So it could be a preventive line of credit, which could be used to buy bonds in the primary market, using the instrument of securing between 20% and 30% percent of the first losses," said the second source.
A third source said that this plan would fit well with the problems of Spain. "It would be a way for Spain to fully comply with their financing needs," said the source.
Spain has needs gross debt issuance of 207,000 million euros in 2013, so the option to insure losses of 50,000 million euros should be allowed to raise that amount from private investors.
The bailout fund rules stipulate that preventive credit line should be between 2% and 10% of U.S. GDP, which is between 20,000 and 100,000 million euros in the case of Spain. The program lasts one year and is renewable twice for six months at a time.
No decision yet
The three sources said no decision had been made yet and it could be weeks before the plan is discussed and fully closed.
The ECB President Mario Draghi, has said a precautionary credit line would provide sufficient conditionality and supervision to the ECB bond purchases considered.
"[A line of credit] is a complete macroeconomic conditionality, and also see the IMF's involvement," Draghi said at a press conference on September 6.
However, some leaders of the euro zone in contact with market participants said the plan could have a mixed effect on investors, making some foreign buying Spanish debt again while others sell.
A diplomat, who said he still had no knowledge of the plan, said it would send the wrong signal to the market.
"Asking a scheme to guarantee losses in the primary market are saying that there is a credit risk in your bond and that's not the message we need to send Spain," he said.
The leaders of the eurozone are determined to find a solution to keep Spain in the capital markets, because if you lose access, the cost of covering the Spanish financing would eat all the money from the bailout funds.
"No money left for other market and begin to speculate against Portugal, Italy or whoever," said a policymaker.
The leaders of France, Italy and Spain will discuss the timing of plans to help Spain when they meet in the framework of a Mediterranean summit in Malta on Friday, two sources said.
