The German 10-year rate retreated 50% from its level to end the quarter at -0.28%. The steepening of the German 2-10 curve is steepened from 11bps to 40 bps, partly driven by the steepening in the US.We reduced our exposure in the quarter by short near 90 cts of duration on futures (bobl, bund and buxl).We also slightly increased our position in Italians debt on maturity 2022 and 2023 in january and Spanish debts 2022 in march.We are maintaining our positioning on breakeven inflation rates. Although new health restriction measures have been taken, expectations of economic recovery and the theme of reflation will continue to push this widening upwards. Market environment The recovery of the world economy continued in the first quarter and was accompanied by an accelerated acceleration of international trade, driven mainly by Asia and China.

    Belgian Bank Dexia Was Biggest Borrower from Federal Reserve Discount Window ­ Telegraph

    6/27/2017 Belgian bank Dexia was biggest borrower from Federal Reserve discount window ­ Telegraph Belgian bank Dexia was biggest borrower from Federal Reserve discount window Dexia, one of Belgium's biggest banks, proved the biggest borrower from the Federal Reserve's discount window in the week of the financial crisis that saw record demand for the facility. The Fed had argued the release of the data could discourage banks from using the window in the future. Photo: AFP By Richard Blackden, US Business Editor 8:43PM BST 31 Mar 2011 At the height of the financial meltdown, on October 24, 2008, Dexia's New York branch was used to borrow $31.5bn (£19.6bn). The total borrowing from all banks during that week climbed to $111bn, according to lending data released by the central bank on Thursday. ADVERTISING Replay 3 Depfa, a unit of the German lender Hypo Real Estate Holding, also tapped the window for $24.6bn. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/8420060/Belgian­bank­Dexia­was­biggest­borrower­from­Federal­Reserve­discount­window.html 1/2 6/27/2017 Belgian bank Dexia was biggest borrower from Federal Reserve discount window ­ Telegraph The Fed was forced to disclose the names of the banks and the amounts they borrowed after a legal challenge by Bloomberg. The central bank argued the release of the data could discourage banks from using the window in the future. "The information is backward­looking," said Ulrike Pommee, a spokeswoman for Dexia. "We experienced a great deal of tension concerning the liquidity of the dollar at the time." Dexia has since reduced its outstanding balance at the Fed to zero, said Ms Pommee.

    Seeyond Europe Market Neutral

    Seeyond Europe Market Neutral Quarterly portfolio commentary 31-Mar-2021 FUND PERFORMANCE Over the first quarter of 2021, Seeyond Europe Market Neutral returned +0.61% while the EONIA Capitalization Index returned -0.1%. MARKET ENVIRONMENT After a strong start to the year - and retaining the same momentum as the end of 2020, markets ended down in the latter part of January. In the US, social networks fueled an incredible price jump of some small-caps and heavily shorted stocks, which prompted several hedge funds to cut their positions and - on a larger scale - the whole market to sharply reduce its leverage. While this phenomenon initially targeted a few companies, its technical impact in the market was magnified by the highly convex and correlated nature of assets. In February, in a context of sharp interest rates’ rises both in the United States (+34bps for the 10 years) and in Europe (+ 49bps for the UK 10 years) and resilient markets, sector and factor rotations once again made the headlines - this time in favor of Banking (Eurozone banks up by almost 20%) and Energy stocks. Despite these transitions with extraordinary magnitude and speed, the "risk-on" mood still prevails, in anticipation of the positive fallout coming from the reopening of economies and – above all - from the various tax supports of President Biden's budget program. In addition, the momentum of the manufacturing activity remains solid, as do estimates of overall GDP growth for the year ahead - as the positive impacts of the vaccination programs progressively kick in. The first quarter of 2021 ended sharply higher for all equity markets, still supported by progress in the deployment of vaccination and reopening programs, as well as by a context of implementation of exceptional fiscal stimulus policies.

Overview of Dexia Dexia S.A. (“Dexia” and together with its subsidiaries the “Dexia Group”) is the top-tier parent company of a European-based banking group that has been managed in orderly resolution since the end of 2011. Its primary shareholders are the Belgian State2 (52.78%) and French State3 (46.81%). Dexia Crédit Local (“DCL”), organized under the laws of France and headquartered in Paris, is a bank wholly owned by Dexia and is licensed to operate an uninsured branch in New York State (the “DCLNY Branch”). The Dexia Group’s business historically focused on the public finance sector in multiple global regions and on retail banking in certain European jurisdictions. In the autumn of 2008, and as a result of the disappearance of liquidity in the interbank market, the Dexia Group, with the support of the States of Belgium, France and Luxembourg (also referred to as “the States”), implemented a restructuring plan.
  • Vulnerable Banks

    Vulnerable Banks

    Vulnerable Banks Robin Greenwood Harvard University and NBER Augustin Landier Toulouse School of Economics David Thesmar HEC Paris and CEPR First draft: October 2011 Current draft: October 2012 Abstract When a bank experiences a negative shock to its equity, one way to return to target leverage is to sell assets. If asset sales occur at depressed prices, then one bank’s sales may impact other banks with common exposures, resulting in contagion. We propose a simple framework that accounts for how this effect adds up across the banking sector. Our framework explains how the distribution of bank leverage and risk exposures contributes to a form of systemic risk. We compute bank exposures to system-wide deleveraging, as well as the spillover of a single bank’s deleveraging onto other banks. We use the model to evaluate a variety of crisis interventions, such as mergers of good and bad banks, and equity injections. We apply the framework to European banks vulnerable to sovereign risk in 2010 and 2011. We are grateful to Tobias Adrian, Laurent Clerc, Linda Goldberg, Sam Hanson, Anil Kashyap, Yueran Ma, Jamie McAndrews, Thomas Philippon, Carmen Reinhart, Andrei Shleifer, Jeremy Stein, Adi Sunderam, and seminar participants at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Federal Reserve Board of Governors, TSE-Banque de France conference in Paris, Harvard, Sciences-Po, Zûrich and the NBER International and Risks of Financial Institutions conferences for their input. I. Introduction Financial stress experienced by banks can contaminate other banks and spiral into a shock that threatens the broader financial system: this is systemic risk.

    Border Crossing: How a U.K. Banker Helps U.S. Clients Trim Their Taxes

    Border Crossing: How a U.K. Banker Helps U.S. Clients Trim Their Taxes --- Deals Devised by Roger Jenkins Of Barclays Capital Lift Own Firm's Fortunes, Too --- Paid Once, Credited Twice ---- By Carrick Mollenkamp and Glenn R. Simpson The Wall Street Journal via Dow Jones, 30 June 2006 LONDON -- At Barclays PLC, a British bank steeped in 300 years of tradition, the work of a team led by banker Roger Jenkins is far from traditional. For instance, in 2003 his team set up a company with no employees, no products and no customers -- just a mailing address in Delaware and a slate of British directors, mostly employees of his office. It was co-owned by Barclays and U.S. bank Wachovia Corp. The following year, according to documents filed in the United Kingdom, the jointly owned company had $317 million in profits. It paid U.K. taxes on them. Barclays and Wachovia were both able to claim credit for paying all of the tax. This was one of at least nine such structures Mr. Jenkins and his team have set up involving U.S. banks, which also included Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America Corp. The complex transactions involve a strategy called tax arbitrage, which plays off one nation's tax system against another to reduce the banks' tax bills. Barclays is the leader in this esoteric field. It collects hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue generated by Mr. Jenkins's group. His team of lawyers and bankers has helped turn Barclays from a sleepy Main Street lender into an investment-banking power.

Over the year, we thoroughly reorganised the Management Board, with new appointments and an extension of its composition to the post of Chief Operating Officer, vital for continuity of the bank’s operational transformation, within the framework of its orderly resolution. With this widened and renewed governance we undertook an active policy to adapt our structure to the challenge represented by managing an entity in resolution.
