How viable are spanish credit cooperatives after recent bank capitalization and restructuring regulations?
2011
Over the past three years, major reforms have been approved in Spain in order to restructure the banking sector. The purpose of these reforms has been to reinforce the solvency of credit institutions through recapitalization and integration into larger organizations. The credit cooperatives have not presented any solvency problems which would justify these measures being applied to them. The problem that the financial authorities see in their case is their limited size. As a result, the credit cooperatives are immersed in an integration process which is not revolving around the Banco Cooperativo Español (BCE) or the Spanish Association of Rural Savings Banks, as might be expected, but is ta…
CHANGES IN THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK (ECB) APPROACHES IN MATTERS OF MONETARY POLICY AFTER THE OUTBREAK OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CRISIS
2012
The problem of monetary policy is a current one, given the fact that now, through this component of the economic policy, the monetary authority of each state tries to solve the problems considered essential for each economy separately. Through this article I have tried to capture the major changes regarding the implementation of the ECB's monetary policy before and after the outbreak of the international financial crisis. Following the analysis I have shown that the monetary policy of the ECB is not a constant one in its actions and instruments used but it is adapted to a conjuncture context through which the European economy is passing through. Therefore, in this paper I have broadly shown…
The need for a special restructuring procedure for insolvent entrepreneurs due to SARS-CoV-2
2020
This text refers to the need for simple restructuring proceedings for entrepreneurs due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic. Some countries may be more deeply affected by the crisis, others may be more resilient to economic shocks. The comments are abstract. They do not refer to any particular legal system. Their purpose is to provoke a general discussion on the need to introduce into the legislation special rules regarding business insolvency as a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The main assumption is as follows. The main purpose of insolvency law is to maximize creditors’ satisfaction. Meanwhile, in the event of a common, structural crisis, a more important value may be ma…
I credit derivatives nell’economia dei sistemi finanziari tra innovazione e criticità
2011
Il lavoro è volto a comprendere il ruolo degli strumenti credit derivatives nell’economia dei sistemi finanziari. I credit derivatives rappresentano una significativa forma di innovazione finanziaria che incide direttamente sull’attività degli intermediari finanziari e, in particolare, bancari. Il ricorso al mercato dei credit derivatives rende possibile il trasferimento integrale o parziale dei rischi di credito senza il contestuale trasferimento delle singole esposizioni creditizie. Ciò dischiude una varietà di scelte aziendali di de-integrazione della catena del valore dell’intermediazione creditizia e di diversificazione del portafoglio crediti che, tuttavia, non sempre conducono ad una…
economics in the mirror of the financial crisis
2011
The structure of the Chapter is as follows. In Section 2 I discuss some of the factors that may have played a role in causing the crisis and emphasise that supporters of different economic theories will assign different weights to each factor in their analyses. As a consequence, suggested economic policies are highly sensitive to the economic theory employed in evaluating the set of causes. In Section 3 I seek to defend economists from the common charge that their inability to foresee the crisis is a clear sign of the lack of scientific status of their discipline. In my view, the main liability of mainstream economics lies elsewhere, in its excessive trust on the self-equilibrating mechanis…
