BayernLB reveals €4.3bn in writedowns
By James Wilson in Frankfurt
Published: April 3 2008 18:40 | Last updated: April 3 2008 18:40
The crisis in German state banking sparked by subprime investments deepened Thursday when BayernLB revealed writedowns of €4.3bn ($6.7bn) and had to call on its owners to protect it from further losses.
Munich-based BayernLB is one of several Landesbanken – wholesale banks linked closely to regional governments – whose investment strategies have backfired.
SachsenLB had to be taken over, and WestLB, which this week plunged to an annual loss, was bailed out by its owners.
The disastrous results are increasing political pressure on regional governments whose taxpayers might have to foot the bill for bank losses.
Erwin Huber, Bavaria’s finance minister, who sits on BayernLB’s supervisory board, said: “These figures are painful.”
Werner Schieder, an opposition politician, said it was a “black day for the people of Bavaria” and called on Mr Huber to step down. BayernLB on Thursday revealed €2.3bn of writedowns in 2007, €400m more than it suggested in March, driving its net income for the year down from €989m to €175m.
It will make a further €2bn of writedowns in the first quarter of this year. The bank also parted company with Gerhard Gribkowsky, its chief risk officer, having replaced its chief executive last month.
Losses on a €24bn portfolio of asset-backed securities looked like reaching €1.2bn, BayernLB said. The bank’s owners, the regional government and regional savings banks, are to guarantee it against any further losses on the portfolio, up to €6bn.
WestLB has used a similar “risk shield” provided by its owners to protect it from further losses on a €23bn securities portfolio.
BayernLB said it wanted its plans to be approved by the European Commission, which is questioning some aspects of the multiple state-backed bailouts of German banks in recent months.
In February, BayernLB, one of Germany’s biggest banks with assets of €415bn, had said it expected €1bn of operating profits in 2007.
Many Landesbanken have failed to find clear business models after the dismantling of state guarantees in 2005, which took away one of their lending advantages.
Calls are growing for a rapid consolidation of the sector but mergers are complicated by the multiple local and regional political interests represented in the ownership of Landesbanken.
The financial crisis, and its uncertain consequences for bank assets and profits also means many bankers rule out immediate deals. Michael Kemmer, chief executive of BayernLB, said: “A merger is not currently on the agenda . . . it’s all about doing our homework.”
However, BayernLB has already said it was considering bidding for IKB, another casualty of the subprime crisis, which is to be sold after a government-backed rescue.

U.S. Probably Lost Jobs for Third Month as Economy Weakened
By Bob Willis
April 4 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. lost jobs for a third consecutive month in March and the unemployment rate rose, signs the economy continues to turn down, economists said before a report today.
Payrolls shrank by 50,000 workers, according to the median estimate of 79 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the Labor Department's report. The jobless rate rose to 5 percent from 4.8 percent in February, the survey also showed.
Job losses have shaken consumer confidence, contributing to a weakening in spending that has almost stalled growth. The report reinforces forecasts the Federal Reserve, whose Chairman Ben S. Bernanke this week acknowledged the economy may face a recession, will need to do more to prevent further deterioration.
``Whatever way you slice it, the labor market doesn't feel good for the average person,'' said Ethan Harris, chief U.S. economist at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in New York. ``You're seeing the weakness spread more broadly. It's not an abysmal outlook, but it is quite weak.''
Projections in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a decline of 150,000 jobs to a gain of 65,000.
The report is due in Washington at 8:30 a.m.
The drop in payrolls would follow a 63,000 decline in February. The last time employment fell for at least three consecutive months coincided with the start of the Iraq War in 2003.
Initial claims for jobless benefits, which track firings, rose last week to the highest level since the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in September 2005, the Labor Department said yesterday. Payrolls tend to drop as claims rise.
Factory Payrolls
Manufacturers eliminated 35,000 jobs in March, reflecting automakers' efforts to trim costs and the effects of a strike at a supplier for General Motors Corp., economists project the report may show. The last time factories added workers was in June 2006.
A walkout by workers at American Axle & Manufacturing over pay and benefits that started on Feb. 26 has idled almost half of GM's North American workforce. The payroll figures may be reduced by as much as 20,000 workers because of the effects of the strike, according to Morgan Stanley economist David Greenlaw.
Ford Motor Co., which lost $15.3 billion in the past two years, may cut more jobs in North America, Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally said last month.
``The old ways of doing business are gone,'' Joe Hinrichs, Ford's manufacturing chief, and Marty Mulloy, vice president of labor affairs, said in a March 19 commentary sent to newspapers in communities where Ford has plants. ``We must continue to downsize and simply will not have enough jobs for all of our current hourly workers.''
Subprime's Influence
Job losses in financial markets are also mounting following the collapse in subprime lending.
Wall Street banks affected by mortgage losses and writedowns have cut more than 34,000 jobs in the past nine months, the most since the dot-com boom fizzled in 2001, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.
This year, financial firms including Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Morgan Stanley have reduced staff in fixed-income trading, securitization and investment banking. Lehman has eliminated 18 percent of its workforce, Morgan Stanley has cut 6.2 percent, and Merrill Lynch & Co. has trimmed 4.5 percent.
More and more economists are forecasting a recession as job, retail-sales and manufacturing data have deteriorated this year. Martin Feldstein, the Harvard economics professor who heads the research group that determines when downturns begin, said last month that a contraction had started.
Bernanke's View
``It now appears likely that real gross domestic product will not grow much, if at all, over the first half of 2008 and could even contract slightly,'' Bernanke said in testimony to Congress on April 2. He said he expected unemployment to move ``somewhat higher,'' in line with recent data showing a ``softer labor market.''
Seeking to ease credit, restore confidence to financial markets and cushion the slowdown, the Fed on March 18 lowered its key rate by three-quarters of a point and vowed to act ``as needed'' to cushion the economy. The Fed has cut the benchmark rate by 3 percentage points since September.
Investors are betting the central bank will need to lower the rate again when it next meets on April 30.

I giornali del mattino 
... da la Stampa online .....poi ci si chiede perche certe malattie sono in aumento esponenziale...non sai cosa mangi, cosa bevi, cosa respiri, quali conseguenze derivino dall'uso di detersivi, detergenti, farmaci...molto male
La festa appena cominciata è già finita. Nel bel mezzo della giornata inaugurale del 42° Vinitaly di Verona piomba la notizia che in giro per l’Italia ci sono 70 milioni di litri di vino adulterato . Roba forte: un cocktail di fertilizzanti chimici, acqua, uno spruzzo di acidi e persino un po’ d’uva. L’allarme arriva dalle anticipazioni di un’inchiesta che esce oggi sull’Espresso. Sulla vicenda indagano le procure di Modena, Bologna, Verona e Trapani. Un’inchiesta che va avanti da sei mesi, sinora nel riserbo.
Secondo L’Espresso solo una parte dei prodotti pirata è stata sequestrata, vista l’impossibilità di rintracciare tutte le bottiglie. Dietro quello che gli investigatori del Corpo Forestale hanno scoperto ci sarebbe un vero sistema industriale di contraffazione gestito dalla criminalità organizzata. Le aziende nella rete dello scandalo sarebbero una ventina, due si troverebbero nelle province di Alessandria e di Cuneo. Le indagini sono partite dal Veneto e, pare, da un’azienda già coinvolta 22 anni fa nella mattanza del metanolo, in cui sono state sequestrate taniche di acido cloridrico (comunemente detto muriatico) e solforico, oltre a qualche decina di chili di zucchero.
A che cosa sarebbero serviti? L’acido cloridrico e l’acido solforico trasformano lo zucchero – proibito – in glucosio e fruttosio – normalmente presenti nell’uva - col risultato di mascherare lo zuccheraggio a una normale analisi. Gli acidi, però, seppur in piccole quantità, possono uccidere lentamente. E situazioni analoghe pare siano state scoperte in altre cantine, a Brescia, Verona, Bologna, Modena, Perugia. Nel Sud, invece, le centrali sarebbero in Puglia e Sicilia (L’Espresso cita in particolare gli stabilimenti della Enoargi export srl e della Vmc srl di Massacra, in provincia di Taranto).
Documenti falsi
Un’organizzazione, completa di reparto contraffazione documenti, grazie alla quale i produttori-pirata potevano guadagnare cifre astronomiche rispetto al valore dell’intruglio, venduto tra i 70 centesimi e i 2 euro al litro. Del «vino all’acido muriatico» - tra bottiglie, bottiglioni, fiaschi e contenitori in tetrapak - ne sarebbero stati messi in circolazione 40 milioni di pezzi indirizzati alla fascia più cheap del mercato.
Un’operazione dai contorni odiosi perché puntava su quei consumatori a basso reddito che devono fare i conti con gli aumenti sulla lista della spesa. Ma il settore più basso del mercato è anche quello dove la concorrenza internazionale è più forte, con nuovi competitors che entrano sul mercato con vini a prezzi da saldo.
Il danno all’immagine virtuosa del made in Italy rischia di essere grande. A Verona molti si domandano se sia solo un caso: la nostra enologia miete successi all’estero ed ecco che in dieci giorni saltano fuori le accuse d’«impurità» alle uve usate per produrre il Brunello di Montalcino (lunedì è scattato il blocco alla vendita di mezzo milione di bottiglie nelle cantine di casa Banfi) e si scatena lo scandalo del vino all’acido muriatico, mentre s’inaugura la vetrina internazionale di Vinitaly.
Il riserbo di Roma
Il ministro delle Politiche agricole, Paolo De Castro, non è per le dietrologie, preferisce sottolineare come la situazione fosse monitorata (e sotto controllo) dalla Forestale. Il ministero ha scelto la linea della riservatezza
, sia per non disturbare le indagini sia per non scatenare allarmi incontrollati che dopo il caso-mozzarella potrebbero assestare un altro brutto colpo alla credibilità dei prodotti italiani.
«D’altronde - dice sdegnato Lamberto Vallarino Gancia, nella veste di presidente del Comité Vins europeo – qui non si parla più di vino ma di banditismo. E si sa che nei momenti di forte movimento del mercato i banditi sanno trovare gli spazi per agire».

Ma il settore più basso del mercato è anche quello dove la concorrenza internazionale è più forte, con nuovi competitors che entrano sul mercato con vini a prezzi da saldo.
Il danno all’immagine virtuosa del made in Italy rischia di essere grande. A Verona molti si domandano se sia solo un caso: la nostra enologia miete successi all’estero ed ecco che in dieci giorni saltano fuori le accuse d’«impurità» alle uve usate per produrre il Brunello di Montalcino (lunedì è scattato il blocco alla vendita di mezzo milione di bottiglie nelle cantine di casa Banfi) e si scatena lo scandalo del vino all’acido muriatico, mentre s’inaugura la vetrina internazionale di Vinitaly.
Il riserbo di Roma
Il ministro delle Politiche agricole, Paolo De Castro, non è per le dietrologie, preferisce sottolineare come la situazione fosse monitorata (e sotto controllo) dalla Forestale. Il ministero ha scelto la linea della riservatezza
, sia per non disturbare le indagini sia per non scatenare allarmi incontrollati che dopo il caso-mozzarella potrebbero assestare un altro brutto colpo alla credibilità dei prodotti italiani.«D’altronde - dice sdegnato Lamberto Vallarino Gancia, nella veste di presidente del Comité Vins europeo – qui non si parla più di vino ma di banditismo. E si sa che nei momenti di forte movimento del mercato i banditi sanno trovare gli spazi per agire».
