Good luck in reinventing finance.

European authorities rejected my plan in favor of the LTRO.

Indeed, Deutsche Bank has already stopped participating in refinancing operations.

The funding gap is beyond what existing international financial institutions can meet and the advanced countries malaise means that significant recapitalization is not in the cards.

Then, once the financial system has been stabilized, a combination of debt restructuring and recapitalization is required.

The restructuring of economies away from finance will necessarily take some time.

But reliance on cheap central bank (re)financing does not represent a viable business model.

The G 20, however, has largely focused on re regulating domestic finance, whereas cross border finance has been left entirely off its agenda, as if it required no regulation and indeed as if it were not part of global finance.

The G 20 recognized in 2008 that unfettered finance can generate costly crises thus, it decided to re regulate finance.

That is why it is so crucially important to ensure funds for the rehabilitation and reintegration phase of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) processes.

The EIB can only provide large banks with funding to lend to local SMEs. But the ECB is essentially already doing this with its three year LTRO loans.

As governments try to avoid outright nationalization of banks, they will find themselves being forced to carry out second and third recapitalizations.

Greek banks would need to be recapitalized, but then they could make new loans again.

None of this means that banks should be granted a regulatory holiday and forget the need to recapitalize.

Good luck in reinventing finance.

The Bundesbank has stated that it will no longer accept bank securities as collateral from banks that have undergone a government recapitalization.

The ESM should be sufficient to deal with the refinancing needs of Greece, Ireland, and Portugal.

With much fanfare, the IMF recently embraced a new institutional view that seemingly endorses re regulating global finance.

The pace of recapitalization needs to be stepped up, and the new round of stress tests for European banks will mark a clear line in the sand.

International financing institutions could increase overall resource commitments to water and sanitation, as well as reorient their portfolios, making use of dedicated financing initiatives for greater investment in rural and smaller settlements.

Two thirds of all refinancing loans within the eurozone were granted within the GIPS countries, despite the fact that these countries account for only 18 of eurozone GDP.

The ECB s long term refinancing operation enabled Spanish and Italian banks to buy their own countries bonds and earn a large spread.

If German banks drop out of the refinancing business, the European Central Bank will lose the direct control over the German economy that it used to have via its interest rate policy.

DAVOS The measures introduced by the European Central Bank last December, especially the Long Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO), have relieved the liquidity problems of European banks, but have not cured the financing disadvantage of the highly indebted member states.

If this continues for two more years as it has for the past three, the stock of refinancing loans in Germany will disappear altogether.

The European Financial Stability Facility European Stability Mechanism (EFSF ESM) should carry out the necessary recapitalization of the Greek banks via direct capital injections.

One consequence of the ECB s large scale long term refinancing operation (LTRO) has been that Italian banks are once again buying Italian government bonds, and Spanish banks are buying Spanish bonds.

Financing for development

Faced with credit losses, a central bank can either dig its way out through inflation or await recapitalization by taxpayers.

Yet these conclusions need to be reaffirmed in the face of efforts by well funded special interest groups to sow doubt among the public.

Afghanistan s President Hamid Karzai has stepped up international fundraising efforts in recent weeks, seeking a fresh package of military and reconstruction aid from the United States, together with stronger strategic guarantees.

Many firms are able to renegotiate financing terms with their creditors typically extending the maturity of their liabilities, which enables them to borrow more to finance new, better projects.

The aim, he added, should be to create an environment in which Europe s finance ministers never need to consider a direct recapitalization of a bank by the European Stability Mechanism.
