grazie mille Sole!
l'articolo del FT era solo per gli iscritti al sito, non riuscivo ad accedere al testo... il resto me lo porto al lavoro e me lo studio bene.
da cosa deduci che vogliano restituire entro il 2013? ne hanno parecchio da restituire, e mi sembra di aver letto solo che vogliono restituire nel minor tempo possibile... ma questo puo voler dire anche 5 o piu anni se non riescono a far cassa..
grazie ancora
Ciao,
misteri di internet , da google si accede all'articolo, dal link che ho postato no...boh...
se fai una ricerca su google con "kbc state aid" , "kbc state aid repayment" o "kbc state aid 2011" trovi quell'articolo e parecchi altri.
Allego l'articolo di FT in pdf + un paio di Reuters.
Sull'intenzione di ripagare prima del 2013 ho preso un granchio , non l'ha dichiarato KBC ma il giornale belga De Tijd.

"KBC would pay back 3.5 billion
euros to Belgium at the end
of the year or the start of 2012 and would also raise some 2
billion euros via a capital increase, possibly early in 2012."
KBC scraps Czech, Hungary IPOs for Polish sales
Belgian banking and insurance group KBC plans to scrap the stalled flotations of its Czech and Hungarian subsidiaries and will instead sell its businesses in Poland in order to repay state aid. The group said on Wednesday it had applied to the European Commission to revise the plan it submitted at the end of 2009, and expected a response in coming weeks. KBC shares dropped 4 percent at the market opening, but steadily recovered to stand up 3.4 percent at 25.30 euros at 0825 GMT. Shares of KBC's Polish subsidiary Kredyt Bank rose as much as 11 percent to a three-year high of 19.20 zloty. Analysts expressed surprise at KBC's initial weakness. "This is a more visible plan," said Omar Fall, banking analyst at UBS. "You have a trade sale rather than an IPO. You've already had interest, whereas an IPO in these markets would be challenging." Speculation has risen in recent months that KBC was looking to sell Poland's Kredyt Bank and insurer Warta, given that the planned flotation of a minority stake in Czech unit CSOB, envisaged in 2010, had failed to materialise. KBC also had to abandon the 1.35 billion euro ($1.93 billion) sale of its private banking arm to Indian group Hinduja in March, although sources say it has since relaunched the sale process . Chief Executive Jan Vanhevel said KBC expected to close a deal in the second half of 2011. KBC said it had applied to the Commission to replace the partial flotations of CSOB and Hungarian unit K&H Bank, and the sale and leaseback of its Belgian headquarters, with the Polish divestments and the sale and unwinding of asset-backed securities and collateralised debt obligations (CDOs). Chief Financial Officer Luc Popelier said the changes should "strongly" enhance earnings, given that CSOB in particular, as well as K&H, had produced more profit in recent years than its Polish businesses. Under its divestment plan, KBC has agreed the sales of its banking unit Centea, its British brokerage Peel Hunt and its Asian derivatives business. KBC, which received 7 billion euros in state aid to help it through the global financial crisis, has a large presence in central and eastern Europe. POLISH BUYERS Vanhevel said KBC had been approached by potential buyers of its Polish businesses. Poland's top two lenders, state-controlled PKO and UniCredit's Peako , are seen the most likely local purchasers. Analysts say several foreign players who circled Kredyt Bank's larger rival Bank Zachodni WBK -- including France's BNP Paribas and Societe Generale -- may be interested in the KBC unit, despite its recent underperformance. Europe's top bank, Spain's Santander , which snapped up BZ WBK, may also seek another Polish acquisition. The stronger insurance arm could attract bids from foreign players already present in Poland, including Allianz and Aviva . The country's top insurer, PZU , is too big to win approval from the competition authority. KBC said it expected the Polish asset divestment, enhanced earnings and sale of securities would yield 2.1-2.8 billion euros, compared with 1.7 to 2.8 billion euros for the flotations and sale and leaseback of its Belgian headquarters. 2011-07-14
