ANALYSIS
Draghi and the helicopter
The drop will not do much. There are banks that are funded 150 basis points lower than in Milan Munich
José Carlos Díez 3 MAY 2013 - 1:13 CET
With the unemployment rate in the eurozone at maximum, and up, and anticipating a deterioration leading indicators of recession in the second quarter, the ECB will cut rates to 0.5%. It is purely cosmetic as the system overflows and the effective liquidity is the deposit facility was already at 0% and yesterday maintained.
Except for temporarily curb the appreciation of the euro, the drop will not do much. As Draghi himself has acknowledged there are banks that are funded 150 basis points lower than in Milan in Munich, but in Europe "can not go handing out money from a helicopter." It's amazing that a public employee recognition to reporters that in Europe there is financial segmentation, which uninhibited monetary union, and stay as calm. This impunity helps explain the mess that we are.
In Spain is much more dramatic. Most of our institutions has no issue bonds in the markets since January. In February came the flight of capital. International investors reduced their holdings of 4,000 million debt and Spanish banks increased again significantly their purchases.
The move will not do much, except transiently curb the appreciation of the euro
In a survey by the ECB, three out of four Spanish SMEs say the interest rates of their loans have increased in the first quarter, one in two that the bank has demanded more collateral and one in three that have reduced credit for working capital. In February the Spanish banking returned 44,000 million to the ECB and Draghi himself said it was a sign confirming that financial segmentation was improving. Now that you have seen the results of the survey have been scared and want to take any steps to revive lending to SMEs, but still do not know which.
What else can they do? Just learn from the Federal Reserve (Fed). United States and the euro zone have similar GDP and are the only comparable cases. With 6 million jobs created since 2009, the unemployment rate down to 1.2 trillion of mortgage-backed securities purchased, the Fed confirmed Wednesday that "until the unemployment rate down to 6.5%, and no inflationary risks continue to buy 40.000 million securitization month. " In addition to 45,000 million in long term debt.
In Europe, with the highest unemployment rate, destroying jobs and having bought only 60,000 million in mortgage bonds since 2009, the ECB has adopted a program to buy these titles since 2011 and has only purchased 16,000 million and has no buy since September last year. Now in Frankfurt renounce Milton Friedman helicopter and returned to moral philosophy, as Saint Augustine said "when I get depressed I analyze, but when I compare extol me".
The problem is that while in Frankfurt are dedicated to the study and are afraid to make decisions, most of the Eurozone is in recession and several countries are bleeding. It is true that only the central bank can not resolve the crisis. But without strong and persistent intervention of the central bank is impossible to fight asset deflation and credit crunch. And that credit crunch austerity along with effective demand plummet and put economies in depression and deflation.
Without a forceful intervention of the ECB is impossible to combat the credit crunch
The ECB, as Don Tancredo, Castle in the inability of European leaders to advance the European integration process and governments to undertake fiscal reforms and clean up its banking system to revive the credit. Also hidden behind the Rescue Berrera and European fund to intervene. But the mortgage program is within its mandate, as was demonstrated in 2009, and not in conflict with the statutes, nor the possibility of monetization of deficits. Why not use it?
As Konrad Adenauer said "the story are little things we could avoid." Behind depression and financial disintegration is the breakdown of the euro. And behind and see Nazis in Greece and Hungary, fascists in France, populist in Italy. Still time to avoid it and the ECB continues to intervene monetary credibility, as demonstrated after Draghi's words last summer. But our greatest enemy after nationalism is inaction.
