U.K. Chancellor Doesn't Rule Out Further Help for Failing Banks

By Kitty Donaldson

Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- The U.K. is ready to offer further support to banks that may get into financial difficulty, and does not rule out a further injection of capital for failing institutions, Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling said.

``We are ready to do whatever it takes, and that is we've put money in to help banks generally,'' Darling told the British Broadcasting Corp.'s Sunday AM program today. ``There are other measures we will be taking too, and I will announce them when we are ready to do that.'' He rejected a call to write to the Bank of England to suggest a change to the 5 percent interest rate.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown was among leaders of the European Union's four largest economies that agreed late yesterday to bail out their own nation's banks ``when faced with a crisis,'' while coordinating with their counterparts, seeking a consensus approach to the credit crunch.

At the summit in Paris, the heads of France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, the European Central Bank and the European Commission also agreed to ease accounting rules, seek tougher financial regulations and weaken enforcement of competition and budget laws.

Darling sought to show U.K. voters the government has a plan to deal with the biggest market turmoil since the 1930s as frozen global credit markets restrain activity. Bank of England Governor Mervyn King pumped $40 billion into credit markets and pledged to do what it takes to restore calm.

``It is important we take action across the piece,'' but the government also needs to stand ready to ``take specific action as we did with Bradford & Bingley,'' Darling told the BBC. The U.K. is ready to take ``pretty big steps that we wouldn't take in ordinary times'' to get through the financial turmoil, he said.

Incredibly Weak

The opposition Conservatives treasury spokesman George Osborne said he is ``willing to talk to the government'' about methods by which banks could receive new capital.

``I think the answer is around re-capitalization, these banks are incredibly weak, their balance sheets are weak'' Osborne told the same BBC program. ``You can deal with the symptoms, the liquidity problems, but there will be a role for creditors, for existing shareholders, even potentially for the government.''

Darling indicated that he is ready to allow public borrowing to rise higher rather than increase taxes, arguing that now was not the time to take money out of the economy.

``I've made it very clear that at this time we need to support the economy,'' Darling said in the interview. ``Because we reduced the amount of debt we inherited we are in a better position to allow borrowing to rise as the economy slows down. That is the right thing to do. You don't start taking money out of it.''

Inflation

Darling also rejected a call from the opposition Liberal Democrat treasury spokesman Vince Cable to write to the Bank of England to call for lower interest rates.

``We are in unchartered waters,'' Cable told the BBC. `` If it was clear it was a one-off, an emergency measure would be understood and would have an impact.''

The Bank of England's remit is to ``target inflation'' alongside ``a wider duty'' to support the government's economic objectives, Darling said in reply to Cable's suggestion.

``If you look at the remit you'll see it was designed for the good times as well as the more difficult times,'' Darling said. ``I'm not going to be writing to the Bank of England asking it to change its remit.''

The U.K. central bank will cut its key rate to 4.75 percent on Oct. 9, according to the median of 61 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

Voters trust Brown more than Conservative leader David Cameron to lead the country through the economic turbulence, an ICM poll in the News of the World showed. Still, Cameron has an approval rating 15 points ahead of the prime minister.

ICM Ltd. interviewed a random sample of 1,004 people by telephone between Oct. 1 and Oct. 3. Interviews were conducted across the 192 Labour-held political constituencies where the Conservatives were in second place, needing a swing of up to 15 percent to win the seat.

Supongo que se entremezclará en el debate público los conceptos de garantía de depósitos de particulares y fondos de rescate, para provocar una asociación en el subconsciente colectivo de que una y otra cosa son lo mismo, o sea, se hace por el bien de todos. Si quieres tener tus ahorros garantizados, no pongas problemas al fondo de rescate (tocino y velocidad, pero seguro que la gente muerde el anzuelo).

Lo díficil será cuadrar una postura común en este tema, es lo que no veo claro, cada cual arrimará el ascua a su sardina, si no hay acuerdo, tendrán que pactar unas reglas generales y que cada país dote sus propios fondos.

Éste sí va a ser el debate de la semana...

Austria sigue a Alemania y elevará también la garantía de los depósitos bancarios

VIENA, 5 (Reuters/EP)

El ministro de Economía austriaco, Wilhelm Molterer, anunció hoy que también se incrementarán los límites de garantía de los depósitos bancarios, con lo que se une así a la decisión adoptada por Alemania. Sin embargo, Molterer no quiso concretar qué cantidad será la máxima garantizada.

El ministro austriaco indicó que la cuestión deberá ser abordada en la próxima reunión de ministros de la UE que se celebrará entre mañana y el martes para poder presentar una propuesta concreta al Gobierno austriaco en el Consejo de Ministros del miércoles.

"Desde el punto de vista austriaco, no debería ser necesario. Nuestros bancos están bien posicionados, pero propondré que elevemos la garantía de depósitos también", afirmó Molterer en una entrevista con la televisión pública austriaca ORF. Un portavoz del Ministerio confirmó que la decisión sobre el nuevo límite deberá adoptarse tras la reunión del Ecofin.

Los depósitos están garantizados en Austria hasta los 20.000 euros, pero ya existen varias cuentas que ofrecen garantías mayores por iniciativa propia.
