intanto movimenti su Dexia.
Dexia SA (DEXB), the lender to local governments that received a 6 billion-euro ($8 billion) bailout in 2008, denied reports in the French press yesterday and today that a split of the bank is under consideration.
“There is no hypothesis for a split of the group on the table” and no decision is likely to come out of a board of directors meeting scheduled for this week, said Benoit Gausseron, head of communications for Dexia. “These rumors have been numerous over the past two years.”
Le Figaro said yesterday that Dexia shareholders La Banque Postale and state-owned Caisse des Depots et Consignations are working to form a new lender to French municipalities, with Dexia as an investor. Journal du Dimanche said today that French and Belgian officials have been in talks to split the bank. Bank of France Governor
Christian Noyer said in an interview with the Sunday newspaper that Dexia must continue to restructure itself because its model is problematic.
Dexia Chief Executive Officer Pierre Mariani denied reports of the split or change to the ownership structure to Belgian newspaper De Tijd.
Gausseron declined to comment on the specific reports, saying the board meeting this week is an “ordinary” one to review Dexia’s current situation.
La Banque Postale provided 3.2 billion euros of financing to Dexia SA through covered bonds at the end of June. The lender, the banking unit of the state-owned postal service, said this month it may increase the amount of long-term funding it provides Dexia as part of the financing agreement.
A spokeswoman, who could not be named in line with bank policy, declined to comment on the reports of Banque Postale’s plans. CDC did not respond to e-mails seeking comment.
