Germany Proposes Seven-Year Extension Of Bonds
Bond market analysts await the reactions of the markets reflected by the course of spreads and CDS to evaluate the outcome of the meeting between U.S. President Barak Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, focusing on addressing the debt crisis in Eurozone and particularly in Greece.
The reaction is expected to break out in the coming days in the sore spot of the new aid package, related to the holding of Greek bonds maturing in 2012-2014 by the institutional investors. The German government has already informed European Central Bank that it has been promoting a plan of seven-year extension of debt through a swap of similar duration.
Capital.gr said yesterday that the reaction of rating agencies, which call this initiative as a credit event, puts a spoke in German government’s wheel to pass the new plan by the House, despite the apparent agreement with the U.S on the need to address the risk of a default.
The letter of Wolfgang Schäuble to the ECB, recognizing the risk of the first default in Eurozone, has confirmed the defusing of tension between Germany and ECB, creating the conditions for a coordinating addressing of rating agencies.
Analysts estimate that the pressure on rating agencies aims to force Germany and other Eurozone countries to accept the assignment of the new loan to the temporary rescue fund EFSF, avoiding bilateral loans.
The decision to enable the EFSF could cause a political problem to Angela Merkel’s government, but it could be passed along, as the decisions taken by the board of the fund do not require parliamentary approval. However, the increase of funding should be approved by the parliaments later .
