IMF should force Greek restructuring - ex-director






LONDON, June 3 | Fri Jun 3, 2011 6:23am EDT

LONDON, June 3 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund should push harder for Greece to restructure its debt and negotiate haircuts with bondholders rather than giving Athens more loans, according to the man who helped negotiate the IMF bailouts for Argentina and Uruguay.
Claudio Loser, a former director of the Western Hemisphere for the IMF, told Reuters Insider that Greece could also benefit from leaving the euro to get its house in order but added such a decision would create a serious problem for the single currency.
"Greece will have to take one or two of the two actions -- restructuring with a haircut and maybe abandoning the euro, although I would say abandoning the euro will be more complicated," Loser said.
A source close to negotiations told Reuters on Thursday that euro zone officials meeting in Vienna had agreed in principle to a new three-year programme for Greece to run until mid-2014, including some role for its private sector creditors.
The programme is expected to see Greece impose a deeper bout of austerity on its struggling economy and promise to speed up a privatisation drive in return for a new international bailout to avoid a debt default.

Greek Banks Urge New Collaterals



With increasing the interest rate of Greek special bonds, used as collateral to obtain liquidity from ECB, Greek banks attempt to offset the losses in value of collateral by the “haircut” they suffer, following the consecutive downgrades by international rating agencies.

Banks expect the issue f new bonds guaranteed by the Greek government under the additional package of €30b package. The allocation of securities relatively to the market share of each bank has already implemented.

Banking sources told Capital.gr that after the downgrade by Moody’s -though expected-, the liquidity needs of Greek banks have become suffocating, since the state withdraw its deposits from banks and “drains” them in term of domestic borrowing. The situation is worsened by the uncertainty of the disbursement of the next loan instalment.

Meanwhile, banks increase the interest rate of special bonds to cover the liquidity gaps, resulted by the continuing downgrades of collaterals submitted to the ECB
.

Early Friday Moody΄s Investors Service downgraded the deposit and senior debt ratings of the following eight Greek banks:

- National Bank of Greece SA (NBG), to B3 from Ba3

- EFG Eurobank Ergasias SA (Eurobank), to B3 from Ba3

- Alpha Bank AE (Alpha), to B3 from Ba3

- Piraeus Bank SA (Piraeus), to B3 from Ba3

- Agricultural Bank of Greece (ATE), to B3 from B1

- Attica Bank SA, to B3 from B1

- Emporiki Bank of Greece (Emporiki) to B1 from Baa3

- General Bank of Greece (Geniki) to B1 from Baa3

These actions follow Moody΄s downgrade of Greece΄s sovereign rating to Caa1 from B1. All of the banks΄ deposit and debt ratings carry a negative outlook, in line with the negative outlook on the sovereign debt ratings, said the agency in a statement.

Merkel To Discuss Euro Debt Crisis With Obama Next Week - German Government



BERLIN -(Dow Jones)- German Chancellor Angela Merkel will discuss the euro-zone debt crisis with U.S. President Barack Obama when she visits Washington Monday and Tuesday, a German government official said Friday.
Merkel has always stressed the importance of the participation of the International Monetary Fund in solving the debt crisis, giving the U.S. a key role as it is the fund's largest contributor, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Obama and Merkel will also talk about the U.S.'s own debt problems, and the German Chancellor will explain Germany's so-called "debt brake"--a constitutional rule to reach an almost balanced budget by 2016.
The candidacy of French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde for the helm of the IMF will also be discussed, the official said.
The two will also talk about the idea of setting up a transatlantic economic council that would try to achieve common standards to make economic globalization more secure, the official said.
The upheavals and reform efforts in the Middle East and North Africa will also be on the agenda.
