The Evolution from Regional to Multinational Banks in Spain José Rodolfo Hernández-Carrión Associate Professor of Applied Economics. Faculty of Economics, University of Valencia, Spain. e-mail: [email protected]. Corresponding author David B. Ruiz Hall Attorney-at-Law GB Consultants, Finance, Tax & Legal, GDF Consultants, Valencia, Spain. Submitted: May 30, 2013 / Accepted: February 20, 2014 / Published online: February 22, 2014. DOI: 10.7350/BSR.D01.2014 – URL: http://dx.medra.org/10.7350/BSR.D01.2014 ABSTRACT Since the approval of Spain’s 2012 National Budget on March 30, 2012, some doubts and controversies have added up to many fears in the private sector regarding the measures and stimuli that the Spanish government was going to undertake. At the same time, this situation was in some measure aggravated by the financial backlog of many small and medium companies, which are and will continue, in the following years to be completely unable to comply with their financial requirements. In line with Boronat Ombuena’s (2009a, 2009b, 2010, 2012) requirements in his new approach to finance and private sector liaisons, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the recent years of the credit sector in Spain as well as its direct and mid-term effects that its mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have contributed up to date, and will still produce in the near future. We will take a closer look at the evolution of the banking sector in Spain from 1995 to 2012 through a historically-based methodology, compiling and synthesizing the existing financial and risk market information and analyzing its evolution.

  • Why Are Banks Not Recapitalized During Crises?∗
    Why Are Banks Not Recapitalized During Crises?∗ Matteo Crosignani† NYU Stern This Draft: May 2015‡ First Draft: September 2013 Abstract I develop a model where governments might prefer to have an undercapital- ized domestic financial sector during crises. Weak banks optimally tilt their sovereign bond portfolio towards domestic securities that are positively correlated with banks’ other sources of revenues. Governments anticipate this gambling-for- resurrection motive and therefore face a trade-off when setting capital regulation. Undercapitalized banks act as buyers of last resort for home public debt at the cost of crowding-out private lending. Following recapitalizations, governments may face lower debt capacity and higher sovereign yields. European stress test data support the proposed mechanism as high leverage banks increased domestic government bond holdings relative to low leverage banks during the crisis. The general equilibrium model can rationalize, in the context of the Eurozone periph- ery, the increased banks’ holdings of domestic public debt, the decreasing private lending, and the prolonged undercapitalization of the banking sector. ∗I am extremely grateful to Viral Acharya, Alexi Savov, and Philipp Schnabl for their excellent guid- ance on this project.

  • The Restructuring of the Spanish Banking System: Analysis of the Efficiency of Financial Entities
    THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE SPANISH BANKING SYSTEM: ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF FINANCIAL ENTITIES ABSTRACT Purpose – This paper analyses the performance of Spanish banking entities between 2009 and 2013, a period marked by the reform of the banking system with a large number of mergers and integrations. Design/methodology/approach – Firstly, efficiency is measured applying the Data Envelopment Analysis methodology and, then, the Malmquist index is calculated to assess its evolution. Findings – The results show that most of the entities have improved their performance from the production approach. However, from the intermediation approach, the efficiency of the sample has deteriorated, which raises questions about the sustainability of the traditional banking business when the current credit restriction strategy is long lasting. Practical implications – The comparative analysis demonstrates that, after the deep reforms carried out in Spain, the banking entities maintain similar efficiency rankings to those they had at the beginning of the period analysed. This shows that the reform has created new groups that operate adequately, avoiding the closing of institutions. Despite the better rationalisation of the available resources, the outlook for Spanish banks remains unclear in the current macroeconomic context, which does not favour the banking business. Originality/value – The study contributes to the literature on Spanish banking system because it adds new empirical evidence about its restructuring and it applies a DEA model to a sample before and after mergers. The authors discuss theoretical and managerial implications and offers suggestions for future research on this field. Keywords: Banking entities, Mergers, DEA, Malmquist Index, Financial crisis Acknowledgements: This study was supported by the Spanish National R + D Plan under the Research Project ECO2015-66240-P and the Regional Government of Aragón and the European Social Fund under the Research Project S05.

  • 7 July 2010 CEBS's STATEMENT on KEY FEATURES of THE
    7 July 2010 CEBS’S STATEMENT ON KEY FEATURES OF THE EXTENDED EU-WIDE STRESS TEST Following its statement issued on 18 June 2010, CEBS provides further information on the EU-wide stress test exercise which is now being finalised by CEBS and the national supervisory authorities, in close cooperation with the ECB. The objective of the extended stress test exercise is to assess the overall resilience of the EU banking sector and the banks’ ability to absorb further possible shocks on credit and market risks, including sovereign risks, and to assess the current dependence on public support measures. The exercise is being conducted on a bank-by-bank basis using commonly agreed macro-economic scenarios (baseline and adverse) for 2010 and 2011, developed in close cooperation with the ECB and the European Commission. The macro-economic scenarios include a set of key macro-economic variables (e.g. the evolution of GDP, of unemployment and of the consumer price index), differentiated for EU Member States, the rest of the EEA countries and the US. The exercise also envisages adverse conditions in financial markets and a shock on interest rates to capture an increase in risk premia linked to a deterioration in the EU government bond markets. On aggregate, the adverse scenario assumes a 3 percentage point deviation of GDP for the EU compared to the European Commission’s forecasts over the two- year time horizon. The sovereign risk shock in the EU represents a deterioration of market conditions as compared to the situation observed in early May 2010. The scope of the stress testing exercise has been extended to include not only the major EU cross-border banking groups but also key domestic credit institutions in Europe.

Página 1 de 16 Feedback Spain's Slowing Economy And Depressed Real Estate Market Prompt Negative Rating Actions On 15 Spanish Banks Publication date: 11-Oct-2011 13:00:03 EST View Analyst Contact Information l In our view, Spain's economy faces dimming growth prospects in the near term, real estate market activity remains depressed, and turbulence in the capital markets has heightened. l We believe the correction of imbalances in Spain will continue negatively affecting the financial profiles of Spain's banks in the next 15-18 months. l We have revised down our Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment for the Spanish banking system to Group 4 from Group 3. l We are lowering by one notch our long-term counterparty credit ratings on 10 Spanish financial institutions, including the country's largest banks, Banco Santander S.A. and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. l We are also affirming the ratings on four banks, revising the outlooks to negative from stable on four banks, placing one bank on CreditWatch negative, and lowering our stand-alone credit profile assessments for two banks. l The outlooks on all Spanish financial institutions we rate are negative, reflecting the possibility that we could downgrade some banks further if the economy deteriorates more than we anticipate in our base-case scenario or the adverse impact on banks' financial profiles is greater than our current expectations. MADRID (Standard & Poor's) Oct. 11, 2011--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that it took negative rating actions on 15 Spanish banks.

  • Aggregate Outcome of the 2010 EU Wide Stress Test Exercise Coordinated by CEBS in Cooperation with the ECB
    23 July 2010 Aggregate outcome of the 2010 EU wide stress test exercise coordinated by CEBS in cooperation with the ECB Executive summary The Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) was mandated by the ECOFIN of the European Council to conduct in cooperation with the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Commission and the EU national supervisory authorities a second EU-wide stress test exercise. The overall objective of the 2010 exercise is to provide policy information for assessing the resilience of the EU banking system to possible adverse economic developments and to assess the ability of banks in the exercise to absorb possible shocks on credit and market risks, including sovereign risks. The stress test has been conducted on a bank-by-bank basis and using bank’s specific data and supervisory information. CEBS has coordinated the exercise and conducted extensive cross-checks over the results, which were submitted to a peer review and challenging process in order to ensure the consistency and comparability of the results. This report provides details on the scenarios, methodologies and aggregate results of the stress test exercise. Results of the individual banks and comments on follow-up actions, where needed, are provided by the banks participating in the exercise and/or their national supervisory authorities. The results are re-published by CEBS on its website. National supervisory authorities routinely conduct stress testing exercises in their respective jurisdictions, both at system-wide and individual institutions’ levels, in order to assess potential risks facing the institutions individually and/or collectively. The CEBS exercise is intended to complement these national analyses by providing a coordinated assessment of European banks, using common scenarios and methodologies.

  • Analysis and Monitoring of Banking and Insurance (Asbys)
    [Photos.com]/Thinkstock ASByS Analysis and Monitoring of Banking and Insurance Analysis and Monitoring of Banking and Insurance (ASByS) Introduction With a firm commitment to the production of relevant and timely information for our customers, we carry out a constant monitoring of the Spanish banking system, both of individual institutions and in aggregate, on the basis of which we develop a set of rigorous www.afi.es analyses and studies on the topics of greatest importance and significance for the banking business and strategies. For this reason, the SASBE (Banking System Advisory Service) data and analysis are converting the reports it generates into key points of reference for many financial institutions, which moreover allows the service to be enriched by the contributions of numerous institutions, thereby improving the understanding of public data and the quality of the analyses of their recent developments and forecasts. The SASBE's work provides the basis for much of the work carried out by Afi's Banking Area, in particular for all its consultancy work and the analyses carried out to assist institutions through their Asset and Liability Committees, where all the monitoring carried out for the sector is developed, adapted and customised for the institution in question. In short, the SASBE is a department of external analysis, responsible for closely following developments in the sector and the competitive environment, also covering regulatory aspects and paying special attention to the identification of forces for change, in order to anticipate future trends; in this respect, the Banking Workshop is one of the leading forums, having become one of the key meeting points for the discussion of issues relevant to the sector.
