UNICREDIT S.P.A. UNICREDIT BANK IRELAND P.L.C. UNICREDIT BASE PROSPECTUS UNICREDIT S.p.A. (incorporated with limited liability as a Società per Azioni in the Republic of Italy under registered number 00348170101) and UNICREDIT BANK IRELAND p.l.c. (incorporated with limited liability in Ireland under registered number 240551) and UNICREDIT INTERNATIONAL BANK (LUXEMBOURG) S.A. (incorporated as a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 8-10, rue Jean Monnet, L - 2180 Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register under number B.103.341) unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by UNICREDIT S.p.A. in the case of Notes issued by UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. and UniCredit International Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. €60,000,000,000 EURO MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME Under the €60,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme) described in this document (the Base Prospectus), UniCredit S.p.A. (UniCredit or the Parent), UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. (UniCredit Ireland) and UniCredit International Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. (UniCredit International Luxembourg) (each an Issuer and together the Issuers) may from time to time issue notes (the Notes) denominated in any currency agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below). The payment of all amounts due in respect of Notes issued by UniCredit Ireland and by UniCredit International Luxembourg (the Guaranteed Notes) will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by UniCredit (in such capacity, the Guarantor). Notes may be issued in bearer or registered form (respectively Bearer Notes and Registered Notes). The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed €60,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein), subject to increase as described herein. The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under “Overview of the Programme” and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each a Dealer and together the Dealers), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the relevant Dealer shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Notes. An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see “Risk Factors”. Applications have been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as competent authority under the laws of Luxembourg, for the approval of this document as three base prospectuses in accordance with Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive. Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including Directive 2010/73/EU, and includes any relevant implementing measure in a relevant Member State of the European Economic Area) and Article 8.4 of the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities, as amended (the Prospectus Act 2005). By approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuers in accordance with Article 7.7 of the Prospectus Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s regulated market (as contemplated by Directive 2004/39/EC) and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Application may also be made for notification to be given to competent authorities in other Member States of the European Economic Area in order to permit Notes issued under the Programme to be offered to the public and admitted to trading on regulated markets in such other Member States in accordance with the procedures under Article 18 of the Prospectus Directive. References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC). The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive only applies to Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area and/or offered to the public in the European Economic Area other than in circumstances where an exemption is available under Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive (as implemented in the relevant Member State(s)). References in this Base Prospectus to Exempt Notes are to Notes for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus Directive. The CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt Notes. Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined under “Terms and Conditions of the Notes”) of Notes will (other than in the case of Exempt Notes, as defined above) be set out in a final terms document (the Final Terms) which will be filed with the CSSF. Copies of Final Terms in relation to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). In the case of Exempt Notes, notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche will be set out in a pricing supplement document (the Pricing Supplement). The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s) or markets as may be agreed between the Issuers, the Guarantor and the relevant Dealer. The Issuers may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market. The CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt Notes. As more fully set out in “Terms and Conditions of the Notes – Taxation”, in the case of payments by UniCredit as Issuer or (in the case of Guaranteed Notes) as Guarantor, additional amounts will not be payable to holders of the Notes or of the interest coupons appertaining to the Notes (the Coupons) with respect to any withholding or deduction pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 239 of 1 April 1996 (as amended or supplemented) and related regulations of implementation which have been or may subsequently be enacted (Decree 239). In addition, certain other (more customary) exceptions to the obligation of the relevant Issuer and (in the case of Guaranteed Notes) the Guarantor to pay additional amounts to holders of the Notes with respect to the imposition of withholding or deduction from payments relating to the Notes also apply, also as more fully set out in “Terms and Conditions of the Notes – Taxation”. Except with respect to the information set out in this Base Prospectus under the heading “Book Entry Clearance Systems”, each of UniCredit and (insofar as the contents of this Base Prospectus relate to it) UniCredit Ireland and UniCredit International Luxembourg, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirms that this Base Prospectus contains or incorporates all information which is material in the context of the issuance and offering of Notes, that the information contained or incorporated in this Base Prospectus is true and accurate in all material respects and is not misleading, that the opinions and intentions expressed in this Base Prospectus are honestly held and that there are no other facts the omission of which would make this Base Prospectus or any of such information or the expression of any such opinions or intentions misleading. UniCredit, UniCredit Ireland and UniCredit International Luxembourg accept responsibility accordingly. The information relating to each of the Depository Trust Company (DTC), Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking S.A. (Clearstream, Luxembourg) has been accurately reproduced from information published by each of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg respectively. So far as each of 2 UniCredit, UniCredit Ireland and UniCredit International Luxembourg is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by the Clearing Systems, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information misleading. The rating of certain Series of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Series of Notes will be issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation), and whether such credit rating agency is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the CRA Regulation, will be disclosed in the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt Notes). Please also refer to “Credit ratings assigned to the Issuers, the Guarantor or any Notes may not reflect all the risks associated with an investment in those Notes” in the “Risk Factors” section of this Base Prospectus.

They describe "red flags." They discuss the hazards of trying to recover funds from failed investments. The sponsor of this website provides additional commentary. "[T]he penalties for financial ignorance have never been so stiff." --- The Ascent of Money (2008) by Niall Ferguson "Boom times are always accompanied by fraud. As the Victorian journalist Walter Bagehot put it: 'All people are most credulous when they are most happy; and when money has been made . there is a happy opportunity for ingenious mendacity.' ... Bagehot observed, loose business practices will always prevail during boom times. During such periods, the gatekeepers of the financial system -- whether bankers, professional investors, accountants, rating agencies or regulators -- should be extra vigilant. They are often just the opposite." (WSJ, 4/17/09, "A Fortune Up in Smoke") Our lengthy website contains an Index of Articles.

  • Legal Acts and Omissions That Facilitated the Global Financial Crisis Jennifer S
    Enablers of Exuberance Jennifer S. Taub Sept. 4, 2009 DISCUSSION DRAFT Enablers of Exuberance: Legal Acts and Omissions that Facilitated the Global Financial Crisis Jennifer S. Taub1 I. Introduction This paper explores certain legal acts and omissions that facilitated the over-leveraging and near collapse of the global financial system. These ―Legal Enablers‖ fostered the boom that enriched a class of financial intermediaries who followed a storied tradition of gambling away ―other people‘s money.‖2 These mechanisms also made the pain of the bust disproportionately felt by the middle class and poor while shielding the middlemen who created the problems. These legal Enablers permitted the growth of a shadow banking system, without investment limits, transparency or government oversight. In the shadows grew a variety of highly leveraged private investment pools, undercapitalized conduits of securitized loans and speculation in complex credit derivatives. The rationale for allowing this unregulated, parallel system was that it helped to create innovation and provide liquidity. The conventional wisdom was that any risks associated with a hands-off approach could be managed by the ―invisible hand‖3 of the market. In other words, instead of public police, it relied upon private gatekeepers. A legal framework including legislation, rules and court decisions supported this system. This legal structure depended upon corporate managers, counterparties, ―sophisticated investors‖ and the market generally to prevent irrational conduct. 4 The hands-off approach was premised upon a series of beliefs or expectations. The first was that corporate managers would not sacrifice long-term shareholder value for short-term gains. The second was that trading counterparties would monitor each other closely and discourage excessive risk.

  • WT/TPR/OV/W/2 15 July 2009 ORGANIZATION (09-3440) Trade Policy Review Body
    WORLD TRADE WT/TPR/OV/W/2 15 July 2009 ORGANIZATION (09-3440) Trade Policy Review Body REPORT TO THE TPRB FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL ON THE FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CRISIS AND TRADE-RELATED DEVELOPMENTS1 1. This Report reviews trade-related developments in the period from 1 March to 19 June 2009. 2. The sharp contraction of the global economy that began in the second half of 2008 and accelerated into the first quarter of 2009 appears to be slowing down. However, the economic situation is fragile and prospects are still uncertain throughout all regions of the world. The financial crisis was concentrated in the developed countries and its effects have been felt most severely there, but the subsequent collapse of aggregate demand in those countries is still working its way through the global economy. Because of the continuing downside risks, the WTO Secretariat has revised its forecast of world merchandise trade in 2009 from a decline in volume of 9 per cent to a decline of 10 per cent. Exports of developed economies are now forecast to fall this year by roughly 14 per cent; the decline for developing economies is expected to be about 7 per cent. Trade in services has been more resilient so far than merchandise trade. Developing countries remain vulnerable to further worsening of the contraction of both international finance and international trade, falling world prices for export commodities, declining FDI, reductions in earnings from remittances and uncertainty over future ODA flows. This is leading to an exceptionally difficult situation for low-income countries that do not have the economic or social safety nets available to withstand such shocks.

    SECRETARIA DE ESTADO DE ECONOMÍA, MINISTERIO SECRETARÍA GENERAL DE POLÍTICA ECONÓMICA DE ECONOMÍA Y ECONOMÍA INTERNACIONAL Y HACIENDA SUBDIRECCIÓN GENERAL DE ECONOMÍA INTERNACIONAL CUADERNO DE DOCUMENTACION Número 86-23º (alcance) ¡Feliz año 2009! Alvaro Espina Vocal Asesor 30 Diciembre de 2008 (14 horas) CD 86-23º de alcance 30 de Diciembre de 2008 [A] “Los sistemas de propiedad no son autónomos, sino que dependen en su definición de toda una constelación de procedimientos legales, civiles y penales. La evolución de la legalidad tampoco puede ser contemplada como algo derivado del sistema de precios. Los jueces y la policía deben ser remunerados, pero el sistema mismo desaparecería si estos agentes tuvieran que estar vendiendo en cada momento sus servicios y decisiones. De modo que la definición de los derechos de propiedad, basados en el sistema de precios, depende precisamente de la no-universalidad del sistema de precios y de propiedad privada. El sistema de precios no es universal, y probablemente en un sentido profundo no puede serlo. En la medida en que es un sistema incompleto debe estar complementado por un contrato social, implícito o explícito”. [B] “Con independencia de nuestras teorías omnicomprensivas acerca del mercado, los economistas debemos reconocer que hay bienes que podrían ser comprados y vendidos, pero que no lo son. Pueden aducirse muchos ejemplos. Las decisiones judiciales y los votos no pueden ir hacia el mejor postor. Los individuos no pueden renunciar a ciertos derechos legales. Los valores que se ofrecen a la venta en el mercado tienen que respetar, entre otras, la regulación sobre transparencia: no está permitido ofrecer valores sin proporcionar esa información, incluso cuando lo que se notifica al comprador es que tales valores no respetan la regulación.
