  • Sareb Updated
    Background (Sociedad de Gestión de Activos Procedentes de la Reestructuración Bancaria) Background Jurisdiction: Spain Name (English): Company for the Management of Assets Proceeding from Restructuring of the Banking System Classification: Timed Special Purpose Vehicle Created in 2012 as a public-private special resolution instrument, it was a result of the conditions to be fulfilled by Spain to receive a financial rescue package of €41.3 billion from the European Union’s permanent crisis fund, the European Stability Mechanism. SAREB was designed without a mission creep, and was to alleviate the stress of banks by eliminating risky assets from their balance sheets and selling them profitably within a 15-year time period. Functioning and Framework The legal framework of the SAREB was the brainchild of the EU Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. In furtherance of the extensive state measures to combat the effects of the disastrous 2008 economic crisis, The Fund for Orderly Restructuring of the Bank Sector (FORB) was created by the state in 2011, was SAREB’s predecessor and held a 45% stake in the functioning of SAREB. Operation of SAREB It was through FORB, and the Bank of Spain that banks were compelled to dump their toxic mortgages and financial assets with SAREB, so a clearer picture regarding the bank’s ongoing business concerns could be ascertained by potential investors. SAREB was to concentrate on maximizing the value of the stressed assets it received, and the same was integrated in its design, as government backing meant that it could afford to manage a troubled portfolio for a pre-planned but long duration of 15 years.

  • Sareb) Will Be Sharply Adjusted to Ensure Its Profitability
    The transfer prices to the Asset Management Company (Sareb) will be sharply adjusted to ensure its profitability Press release – 29 October 2012 The Fund for the Orderly Restructuring of the Banking Sector (FROB) has today completed the work on the structure and design of the Asset Management Company for Assets Arising from Bank Restructuring (Sareb) envisaged in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreed between the Spanish and international authorities on 20 July 2012. This company has been designed in such a way that the transfer of problematic real-estate-related assets by banks is made on the basis of prudent valuations, in order to ensure the profitability of the company over its maximum 15-year lifetime. The creation of Sareb will substantially reduce any uncertainty over the viability of those banks requiring public support, since it will allow them to concentrate on their main business. The MoU establishes that the real-estate-related assets of banks needing State aid must be transferred to an asset management company, for which blueprint and framework was prepared by the Spanish authorities in consultation with the European Commission (EC), the European Central Bank (ECB) the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Royal Decree-Law 24/2012 on credit institution restructuring and resolution and the Draft Royal Decree which was at the public-consultation stage until last week, specify the details of Sareb, which has to be operational in November 2012. Sareb will be set up as a for-profit company that will not be part of the sector general government.

  • Spanish Banks Pass EU Stress Test with Flying Colours
    Expert Comment 62/2013 27 October 2014 Spanish banks pass the ECB assessment with flying colours William Chislett | Associate Analyst at the Elcano Royal Institute | @WilliamChislet3 Spanish banks sailed through the latest EU-wide health check, signalling they do not need any more capital. This follows several years of tough adjustments as a result of the near collapse of the financial system in 2012 that triggered a €41 billion bail-out (exited in January). Spanish banks were excessively exposed to toxic real-estate assets following the bursting of a massive property bubble in 2008. After the bubble burst and Spain went into recession (GDP shrank by around 7.3% between 2008 and 2013), the loan defaults of property developers and construction firms as a percentage of total bank lending to these two sectors surged from a mere 0.6% in 2007 to more than 25%. The total non-performing loan ratio jumped from 0.7% of lending to a record of 13.6% at the end of 2013, and has since begun to decline. The European Central Bank (ECB) analysed 15 Spanish banks out of a total of 130 euro zone banks (81.6% of assets) in an asset quality review (AQR).1 The worst performing country was Italy, with nine banks that failed, followed by Greece and Cyprus (three), Belgium and Slovenia (two) and one each for Austria, Portugal, Ireland, Germany, France and Spain. The Spanish bank that failed was Liberbank, but it has already covered its capital shortfall of €32 million (see Figure 1). Five Spanish banks failed in 2011, when different parameters were used by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to those by the ECB in 2014, out of a total of nine.
