De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and Finance initially wanted no later than 6 November last year have a solution for SNS.
This is stated in a letter dated 2 October 2012 from DNB to the then Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager. These and other letters by RTL News Monday on its website put. Eventually SNS on February 1 this year entirely nationalized.
On 6 November 2012, SNS, in the letter referred to as Mercury, its results for the third quarter publish. In May last year urged DNB already in action.
Emergency
Director oversight January Sijbrand insists in his letter to a speedy decision on SNS. Sijbrand wants an emergency occur. Intervention in an emergency, according to him harmful and more expensive for the state than an orchestrated action involving private parties. This clearly shows that Sijbrand keen to lay a nationalization prevention.
A public-private solution would have other advantages, says Sijbrand. "Moreover, such, orchestrated public-private solution to the confidence in the Dutch financial sector and the Dutch authorities." And further: "Finally, it promotes the diversity of the Dutch financial sector and Mercury as (self) bank remains."
Scenarios
At the time of the letter of 2 October DNB works in the following scenarios: sale of the insurer of SNS and a capital injection by the three major banks in SNS plus a guarantee from the State for the bad real estate loans of SNS. With no mention Sijbrand in this letter about a scenario in which venture capitalist CVC plays a role.
The participation of the major banks in SNS would later however, the European Commission must be rejected. The argument: two banks (ABN Amro and ING) have an acquisition ban because they themselves have aid.
From a previously published letter from DNB, dated January 24, show that DNB still got hope after the "case team" of the Commission in November had asked to draw up proposals for the participation of the major banks in a 'bad bank'. This would help the bad loans of SNS Property Finance's real estate subsidiary can be accommodated.
Pillar lapse
But in December lights a senior official of the Commission here is also a stop. This is an important pillar of the public-private bailout to expire. Probably even longer time trying Finance Commission to change its mind, because the three big banks are still up in January doing a book study of Property Finance.
This is evident from a letter from CVC to Finance of 11 January 2013. It says that even consult with the Finance Committee. This letter also states that Treasury would have said that the chances of the CVC and SNS jointly developed bailout small. Nationalisation was already the most viable option for Finance.
