Slovenia: in favore della liquidazione controllata di Factor Banka Probanka e la banca centrale

09/20/13 - 15:21








Decisione della Banca centrale per il controllo di due piccole banche Probanka e Fattore banka, ha difeso il governatore della Banca centrale di Slovenia (Banka Slovenije) Bostjan Jazbec.

Secondo lui, la possibilità di fallimento o di compensazione incontrollato delle due banche causerebbe gravi shock per la stabilità finanziaria e il sistema bancario, che - come noto - non è in "buona forma".

Dal piano del Parlamento, signor Jazbec ha osservato che lo Stato ha rilasciato garanzie pari a un miliardo di euro per garantire la liquidità delle due banche nel corso del processo, che ha avuto inizio il 6 settembre.

Secondo lui, in caso di fallimento di tutti i depositi in due banche che superano i 100.000 € saranno "congelati" fino alla fine del processo. Tali depositi hanno, tra le altre cose, lo stato e i comuni, in particolare le autorità locali da Primorska e Stiria.

Depositi totali per entrambe le banche si attesta a € 631.000.000, di cui i depositi garantiti fino a 100.000 euro'' tocca i 400 milioni di euro.
 
Next few weeks crucial for Slovenia says central bank governor: newspaper



LJUBLJANA | Sat Sep 21, 2013 9:34am IST





(Reuters) - The next few weeks will be crucial for Slovenia, which is struggling to avoid a bailout, Bank of Slovenia Governor Bostjan Jazbec said in an interview published on Saturday.

"It is of key importance that the government over the coming weeks prepares a credible reform program..., a credible privatization program and measures to revive the economy," Jazbec, who also sits on the European Central Bank Governing Council, told daily Delo.

"If it does not succeed in doing that in the coming weeks, we will probably have to ask for help," he added.

He said that various bailout possibilities "are being discussed" but gave no details.

Slovenian banks, mostly state-owned, are nursing some 7.5 billion euros ($10.13 billion) of bad loans and are at the heart of speculation that the country could become the next euro zone member in need of an international bailout.

The government has until October 1 to send to the European Commission its reform program which should enable the country to reduce the budget deficit to 3 percent of GDP in 2015 from 7.9 percent seen this year.

The head of euro zone's finance ministers, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, will visit the country on September 30 for talks with top policymakers.

On Friday Jazbec told parliament that taxpayers would face a bill of 15 billion euros if all the country's banks collapsed but added there was no sign that this was about to happen.

Jazbec also said Slovenia should improve the efficiency of its judicial system as it takes per average about 3 years for a business conflict to be solved in a Slovenian court.

"Sometimes I feel like a diver in a muddy river who does not see anything and only screams from horror when something flows by," said Jazbec when talking about the numerous problems connected to the Slovenian judicial system.

Slovenia was the fastest growing euro zone member in 2007 but was badly hit by the global crisis due to its dependency on exports.

The steep recession revealed a culture of corruption and cronyism in the country which over the past decades refused to privatize its main banks and a number of other companies so that the government now controls about 50 percent of the economy.

Slovenia: legge finanziaria, per 2014 previsto 1 mld deficit

Resi noti emendamenti al provvedimento

24 settembre, 19:47



(ANSAmed) – LUBIANA, 24 SET - Con gli emendamenti alla legge finanziaria per il 2014, il governo sloveno prevede di raccogliere 8,63 miliardi di euro di entrate e spendere 9,64 miliardi di euro di uscite. Il deficit previsto è quindi di 1,01 miliardi di euro.

La proposta di legge finanziara rivisitata è stata oggi diffusa ufficiosamente dai media sloveni. Il gettito previsto nelle casse statali per il 2014 è di 221 milioni di euro superiore rispetto alla proposta attuale. L’aumento delle entrate è da ascriversi alla nuova tassa sugli immobili, che secondo il governo dovrebbe fruttare 216 milioni di euro. L’Iva, che è aumentata a luglio di due punti percentuali, dovrebbe portare tre miliardi di euro di introiti. Gli emendamenti alla legge finanziaria prevedono anche un aumento delle uscite rispetto alla legge in vigore pari a 324 milioni di euro. A beneficiarne sarà soprattutto il welfare state (assicurazioni sociali, fondi pubblici, trasferimenti per persone fisiche e famiglie). Gli stipendi nel settore pubblico dovrebbero costare allo stato 902 milioni di euro. Sono previsti tagli nel settore servizi per quasi 75 milioni di euro. Per gli investimenti sono previsti 661,6 milioni di euro, poco meno di 200 milioni di euro in più che nel 2013. Per il risanamento del settore bancario sono previste uscite pari a 1,2 miliardi di euro. (ANSAmed).
 
Slovenia PM says aid for banks a possibility


LJUBLJANA, Sept 26 | Thu Sep 26, 2013 7:43am EDT







(Reuters) - Slovenia's prime minister for the first time said she had discussed the "possibility" of international help for its banks on Thursday, adding to signs the country may be inching closer to an aid request later this year or in early 2014.

Central bank and other officials have been saying for weeks that it would be a tight call whether the small euro zone member would be able to recapitalise its struggling lenders on its own once it sees the results of stress tests, now expected in November.

With financial markets watching keenly for signs of another euro zone rescue in the works, Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek said nothing could be decided until the stress tests were completed.

But she had always publicly denied previously that a bailout was even a possibility.

"We are talking with the Bank of Slovenia also about that possibility, about what it would mean to get help for the banking sector ... but there is no need to speculate from that that Slovenia would actually need help," she told a news conference after a regular government session.

All euro zone members have the option of asking for financial aid from the European Stability Mechanism, established in 2012 to provide financial assistance to member states in difficulty.

Slovenian banks, mostly state-owned, are struggling with some 7.5 billion euros ($101.31 billion) of bad loans which equals 21.5 percent of GDP and are at the heart of speculation that the country could ask for a bailout in the coming months.

Slovenia has until Oct 1 to present its reform programme to the European Commission, revealing steps that should reduce budget deficit to 3 percent in 2015 from 7.9 percent seen this year.

On Monday Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem will visit Ljubljana for talks on reforms.

Slovenia was the fastest growing euro zone member in 2007 but was badly hit by the global crisis due to its dependency on exports.

It fell into a new recession in 2012 amid lower export demand, credit crunch and a fall of domestic spending caused by budget cuts.
