Spanish Bank Capital Shortfall As "Good" As Expected: Live Press Conference Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




Spanish stress test results are out. Surprise - Oliver Wyman's audit finds that Spanish banks have an approximate EUR60bn shortfall - as expected - see below for pass/fails.

  • *SPAIN SAYS 7 BANKS HAVE NO CAPITAL NEEDS       :SAN SM, BBVA SM
  • *SPAIN STRESS TESTS SHOW CAPITAL SHORTFALL OF EU59.3 BLN :SAN SM
  • *SPAIN BANKS HAVE EU53.7 B CAPITAL SHORTFALL AFTER TAX IMPACT
  • *BANKIA STRESS TEST SHORTFALL AFTER TAX EFFECT IS EU24.74 BLN
  • *SANTANDER, BBVA, CAIXABANK, KUTXA PASS STRESS TEST      :SAN SM
  • *SABADELL, BANKINTER, UNICAJA PASS STRESS TEST  :SAN SM, BBVA SM

Capital needs: Bankia: €24.7; Catalunya Caixa: 10.8; Novagalicia 7.2; Banco de Valencia: 3.5; Banco Popular 3.2; Banco Mare Nostrum: 2.2

Winners:

  • *SANTANDER, BBVA, CAIXABANK, KUTXA PASS STRESS TEST      :SAN SM
  • *SABADELL, BANKINTER, UNICAJA PASS STRESS TEST  :SAN SM, BBVA SM

Losers, aka nationalized banks:

  • *NCG BANCO STRESS TEST SHORTFALL AFTER TAX EFFECT EU7.18 BLN
  • *IBERCAJA, CAJA3, LIBERBANK STRESS TEST SHORTFALL IS EU2.1 BLN
  • *BANCO DE VALENCIA STRESS TEST SHORTFALL IS EU3.5 BLN    :SAN SM
  • *BANKIA STRESS TEST SHORTFALL AFTER TAX EFFECT IS EU24.74 BLN

The discrete needs of the shortfall banks are as follows:

Bankia: 24.7;

Catalunya Caixa:10.8;

Novagalicia 7.2;

Banco de Valencia: 3.5;

Banco Popular 3.2;

Banco Mare Nostrum: 2.2

 

Based on these stunning assumptions!!!!

Bwuahahahah!!!!

  • IBEX: -0.4% next year? -5% worst case?
  • Home Prices: -2.8% next year? -4.5% worst case!!!!
  • Unemployment: 23.5% in 2013 - worst case 26.8%!!!!!
  • EURUSD: 1.33?

Finally, here is why all of the numbers above are absolutely meaningless. As a reminder in August, the ECB provided Spanish banks with €412 billion in funding. That is 7 times as much as the adverse case liquidity needs.

In other words, the total ECB funding and liquidity needs from the Stress Test is €472 billion. This is 50% of Spanish GDP.

Bottom line: the entire Spanish banking system is broke.

So this was the "pre nov 7th" stress test, and then we see the "post nov 7th" shortly!!! Let's just say, they won't be the same!!!

It's pretty much common knowledge, after idiot Mitty went to Europe before the Olympics and made a giant ass of himself in from of the EU heads of state, that they are in the bag for Obama!!! Don't expect any trouble from them before 11/7!!!

But Israel is another matter, I think they are backed into a bad situation, and they see the next 30 days as the only window for attacking Iran!!! Of Obama re-elected they know it's over for them, so it's win win now!! If they attack and all hell breaks loose, and Obama loses because of it, it's a win! If they attack and Obama wins, we are already drawn into the fight, and obama will have to keep fighting or look weak!!
If they wait, and Romney wins, they attack, but the odds of that without an October surprise are low!! A serious catch 22!!!!

My bet is they attack!!

More garbage excuses for the US market to rally when the economic indicators of the past two days should have S&P off 40 points for a start. Fuck does this get tiresome. Who is the marginal buyer with this economic picture and the US market at long-term highs? Unfathomable. Companies may be cash-rich, which ony reduces return on equity with stalling earnings, and thus reduces P/E, in a normal market.

I guess the ECB needs to inject $60 billion into the Spanish banks then (so the Spaniards can keep up the bank run.) Wait...if they inject the $60 bil, then the Spaniards will be reassured about the health of the banks and end their bank run.
