FINANCIAL REFORM
IMF calls for banks to be strengthened so more credit to the economy
The Fund calls for the suspension of cash dividends and the sale of assets
He says the SAREB sells more homes than expected, but at the cost of giving up their margins

The International Monetary Fund (IMF ) supports great strides in the financial sector in its fifth and final control report of the Spanish banking system, but emphasizes the need to strengthen the capital of banks to return the credit to the economy . " One of the main priorities is that supervisors encourage banks to build the core capital ( capital of the highest quality ) market advantage ," says the institution before asking for this, emissions would have to perform actions. Along with this, also advocates continue " spreading limitation 2014 dividend , selling assets and making more efficient " , with reduced costs.
The IMF admits that the decline in loans has been too abrupt in Spain . Also, regarding the SAREB , which says he is in loss , says it has sold more flats planned " but with lower margins " by falling market prices. Therefore warns that the main challenge facing the so-called bad bank for this year is to restore profitability and liquidity to meet the bond payments .
The IMF says diplomatically takes this control industry to petition the Ministry of Economy , following the support received 40,000 million to revive the failed banks of the old boxes. In his thorough analysis , it is striking and intensity space dedicated to the lack of credit, as key almost all the ills of the entire Spanish economy : the weak economic recovery , unemployment and the lack of profitability of own entities , which may seem contradictory . The maze is to raise bank capital at levels that support the "economic recovery " .

For the body led by Christine Lagarde , the solution would not require new regulatory by banks minimum , if not encourage them to take effective measures to strengthen from now . In this regard , the IMF claims the supervisor to ensure that "banks leverage the equity markets " , with improvements that have registered . Traditionally, in the Spanish banking culture when bad times arrive provisions that raise more capital. In other European countries is the opposite, and now the agency directed by Luis Linde must change this habit. Not only because it would help to credit, but because the world banking authorities claim it after the 2008 crisis .
Cut to dividends
The IMF reminds entities that capital increases also reducing costs and , of course , " restricting cash dividends ." Remember that the Bank of Spain in June 2013 recommended limiting the distribution of cash dividends to 25% of profit attributable . " This recommendation is welcome and should be extended to 2014 ," says the IMF.
Maybe in preventing complaints sector , the international body reminds banks that limiting the dividend in 2013 " had no material adverse effect on the ability of banks to issue shares ," or in their stock prices, "regarding with their European counterparts . Since June 2013 , the shares of Spanish banks have risen more than 40 % and have outperformed their peers in more than 30 %. "
Fund also claims that after the benefits have resulted in deferred tax assets (DTA for its acronym in English ) , it is now the capital controls effective and real action is reinforced. So , is asked to facilitate the sale of distressed assets and debt renegotiation . It would be " free up capital in the balance sheets of banks for new loans" to the growth sectors of the economy. "It will be important to avoid any artificial barriers to the elimination of toxic assets ," and take " the recognition of losses " , which is typical on the bench when the storms come . So says " is key," the exact classification of refinanced and restructured " loans, which have been appearing about 25,000 million new delinquent in 2013 , according to market sources .
The Government has admitted that studying legal changes to allow banks to change lending for capital in troubled companies to avoid closure. IMF praises this way and " additional reforms to improve the speed and efficiency of insolvency proceedings and to promote voluntary debt restructuring ."
Achieving business benefits of traditional
But there are more challenges for banking and the economy in 2014. One of the highlights is that the benefits come from the banking, not as happened in 2013 where financial transactions and tax credits have saved accounts . "The results for 2013 reflect in part exceptional factors. Key benefits before provisions continue to decline , and the default rate continues to rise , albeit at a decreasing rate . The private sector deleveraging and fiscal consolidation will also continue causing headwinds for growth for some time , " the report said.
This situation " can keep the pace of recovery contained , adding challenges to bank profitability . It could also delay the recovery of credit conditions , which are not good. The IMF did not forget uncertainties surrounding the banking sector : the ECB solvency test , " and the output of the state in the intervened banks in the coming years." Do not leave out any positive surprises , as an acceleration of GDP, but makes it clear that this is necessary to maintain a strong pace of reforms in Spain and Europe, " including labor and tax policies to achieve rapid economic growth to reduce unemployment at reasonable levels in the medium term.
These recipes , experts from the IMF, should lead to a virtuous cycle of falling funding costs, higher profitability and bank capital , improved credit conditions for households and businesses and job creation. Again, the ball is in the court of banks , seen as a hindrance by the public.
