The idea hovered aggregates IMF reports since mid last year, but its leaders were reluctant to include it in his public appearances. His strategy turned last week. Under a veneer of optimism about the economic outlook, on Tuesday Christine Lagarde , managing director of the Fund, added to their usual labor reform claim a new requirement : adjust legislation to European companies get rid of the heavy burden of debt .
Coincidence or not, his companions at the event were two of those called to implement the recommendations : Luis de Guindos , Spain 's economy minister , one of one of the most heavily indebted countries , and Wolfgang Schäuble private , responsible for Finance Germany - the creditor state par excellence . The French former minister refused to go further and made it a generic recommendation for the countries of the euro, the same as the European Commission - repeated warily to avoid causing problems in the financial sector, every time their technicians visit Spain . But there was more .
It happened last Thursday in Brussels, where the four coordinators of the last book published by the IMF , Jobs and growth : supporting European recovery, put the focus on Spanish companies. " Your debt 's the big challenge for economic recovery ," they said in the usual conciliatory tone that characterizes the members of the Fund .
The Commission warns of risks to banking
This time , " unlike other historical episodes [Japan in the eighties and nineties in Sweden ] , the necessary" Spanish debt reduction has two handicaps : one is not getting off inflation and weak economic growth , despite the big words , still emitting signals of chronic anemia. At this point, the seniors of the IMF in line with the thesis that U.S. economists Ken Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart argue for more than two years ago , no way out of the tunnel that bypasses generalized remove or at least by introduce greater flexibility in schedules returns. That is especially true of private debt. But take away the Fund does not rule on the public debt of some countries, notably Greece , with the same objective.
Calls for debt renegotiation households and SMEs
Unlike what happened in Madrid during the presentation of the report, when the same experts declined to make a specific mention of the Spanish case, the focus of the presentation in Brussels was , at times, Spain . With a private debt several bodies ahead of the European average , despite the slight fall in the last two years , still remains above 180% - The Fund suggests the need for the Government to take measures to facilitate the gradual landing . " Spain must provide a clean , preferably outside the courts, for their indebted but viable companies , and rapid liquidation of unviable businesses out."
This approach aligns with the position of Community supporter Executive to change the bankruptcy law to certain limitations , as when he warns of the problems that could lead to banking legislation antidesahucios - autonomic , and play against the interests of the banks. "With their balance sheets and headgear, any measures to increase the take off shoot insolvency ," says Rafael Illescas , Professor of Commercial Law at the Carlos III University . Fernando Gomez , Professor of Civil Law at Pompeu Fabra , agrees: " the Spanish State has cost a lot of money put banks in a decent situation to put them back at risk." Nevertheless, both advocate for amendment as proposed by the IMF and the Commission " gradually" . And pointing Illescas: " The Spanish laws should follow the example of the UK , where companies can restructure their debt much less solemn manner without judged by ." Gomez , meanwhile , highlights the "readiness " of the government - in Entrepreneurship Act eased some restructuring - but calls for more changes.
The Fund will not, for now , to go further. "We have to wait until the August to see new recommendations to Spain ," says Helge Berger , one of the IMF advisors for Europe and a signatory to the latest recommendations . Then , the Fund will have to choose between insisting on a legislative change in Spain or wait for today nonexistent inflation and growth still starving fixed corporate excesses of the past.
