| IMF warns pound could be at risk from uncertainty The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that Gordon Brown risks a run on the pound if he does not set out a clear path for reducing national debt. By Angela Monaghan Published: 7:34PM BST 16 Jul 2009 The Prime Minister and the Chancellor need to come up with a "credible plan" to reverse the rapid deterioration of the public finances In a report published yesterday following a staff mission to Britain in May, the IMF said that a "credible plan" was needed to reverse the rapid deterioration of the public finances if confidence in the UK was to be upheld. "Market conditions suggest the UK has been getting the benefit of the doubt, both in the Government bond market and also the foreign exchange market," said Ajai Chopra, the IMF's mission chief for the UK. "This benefit of the doubt is not going to last forever and it's going to be important that the Government does not test the limit of the market's confidence. Bank of England hedges bets over recovery"The authorities will need to move more aggressively in their fiscal consolidation plans and to be specific it will be important to set public debt on a firmly downward path faster than is envisaged in the 2009 Budget," he added. The IMF said the structural fiscal position was weak even before the financial crisis erupted and predicted gross debt is set to double over the next five years to 100pc of gross domestic product. George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, said: "The IMF could hardly have delivered a more damning verdict on the Brown years - and it vindicates Conservative warnings about the debt crisis." Mr Chopra said that although that it was too soon to impose fiscal tightening, specific plans should be formed now so that they could be implemented once economic recovery was under way. The IMF predicts the UK economy will shrink by 4.2pc in 2009 before growing 0.2pc in 2010. The report added: "Should fiscal sustainability come into question, interest rates would rise despite monetary easing efforts, the ability of the Government to provide support to the financial sector would be severely limited and pressures on the currency could emerge." Mr Chopra said the Government had been "ahead of the curve" by introducing bold policies, and said the authorities' focus must remain on strengthening the banking system, injecting more capital if necessary. He addedthe banking system was still too weak in its current state to support a strong recovery in the UK. Separately, the Prime Minister yesterday defended his response to the banking crisis and the decision to preserve the tripartite regulatory system where the Treasury, Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England each have a role. Mr Brown denied that Mervyn King, the Bank's Governor – who wanted the Bank to gain new powers – had become a "loose cannon" when asked by MPs. "The Governor does a good job and people recognise his talents, and that's why he was reappointed for a second term," Mr Brown said. IMF warns pound could be at risk from uncertainty - Telegraph

| Partido Conservador Gran Bretaña eliminaría regulador financiero | Reuters Partido Conservador Gran Bretaña eliminaría regulador financiero lunes 20 de julio de 2009 11:23 GYT Por Adrian Croft LONDRES (Reuters) - La Autoridad de Servicios Financieros de Gran Bretaña debería ser eliminada y el Banco de Inglaterra debería hacerse cargo por completo de la supervisión de las instituciones financieras del país, dijo el lunes el principal partido opositor. La propuesta de los Conservadores contrasta con los planes del Gobierno para afianzar el actual sistema tripartito bajo el cual la responsabilidad es compartido por el FSA (siglas en inglés para la Autoridad), el banco central y el Tesoro. Los Conservadores, que se espera ganen la próxima elección general, dicen que el sistema existente ignoró problemas que contribuyeron a la contracción del crédito y forzaron al Gobierno a gastar miles de millones de libras en el rescate de algunos de los bancos más grandes del país. "Eliminaremos la Autoridad de Servicios Financieros y el fallido sistema tripartito y le daremos la responsabilidad al Banco de Inglaterra de mantener la estabilidad financiera así como las herramientas para hacerlo", dijo el portavoz de la oposición en materias financieras, George Osborne. "Daremos al Banco de Inglaterra la responsabilidad para una regulación prudente de todos nuestros bancos, todas nuestras sociedades de construcción y otras instituciones financieras significativas, incluyendo las compañías aseguradoras", añadió. El ministro de Finanzas, Alistair Darling, propuso este mes la fijación de un Consejo para la Estabilidad Financiera para coordinar el trabajo de los tres grupos. Esta estructura tripartita fue establecida hace 12 años, cuando el Partido Laborista llegó al poder y cuando el actual primer ministro Gordon Brown era ministro de Finanzas. La responsabilidad de la regulación del mercado financiero ha causado tensión entre Darling y el gobernador del Banco de Inglaterra, Mervyn King, quien ha dicho que el banco central carecía de herramientas para intervenir si un banco se encontraba en problemas. Osborne dijo que debería haber una revisión de los asuntos de competencia en la banca minorista antes de que se adopte cualquier decisión sobre cómo manejar las acciones que posee el país en las entidades que debió rescatar durante la crisis. El también opositor partido Liberal Demócrata también planteó su propuesta de regulación bancaria, diciendo que los bancos RBS y Lloyds, donde el estado tiene una importante participación, deberían ser separados antes de volver a ser propiedad privada. "La fusión entre Lloyds-HBOS debe ser disuelta como parte de este proceso y RBS también debería ser separada, con sus operaciones de inversión en banca diluidas", dijo el portavoz del partido Liberal Demócrata, Vince Cable. |

| ¿Y España? British economic collapse rivals Great Depression The collapse in Britain's economy now rivals the worst days of the Great Depression, it has emerged. By Edmund Conway Published: 5:51PM BST 24 Jul 2009 Economic output shrank by 5.6pc in the 12 months to the middle of the year, according to official figures which shattered hopes that the recovery has already begun. The Office for National Statistics said that Britain's gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.8pc in the second quarter, following the unprecedented 2.4pc fall in the first three months of the year. Economists had expected GDP – the broadest measure of the country's economic performance – to shrink by 0.3pc. UK recession may have ended in MarchAccording to calculations by Martin Weale of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research the profile of the current recession is now almost identical to the decline in Britain's output between 1929 and 1931. The 5.6pc contraction over the past year almost matches the 5.8pc fall in the year preceding the second quarter of 1931, during which Credit Anstalt in Austria collapsed, triggering a second wave of economic seizure across Europe. The recession is far deeper and more severe than those of the early 1980s and 1990s, Mr Weale added. "Gordon Brown is now competing with Ramsay MacDonald – not a comparison he would much like," he said. "It looks as if we are pretty much tracking the 1930s, "The financial crisis has been much bigger [than in the 1930s], the period of boom beforehand was more marked; and so you might think it's thanks to the policies [from the Bank of England and Government] that we'll end up with something slightly less bad but along similar lines." Markets nevertheless took the disappointing news in their stride, with the FTSE 100 rising for a tenth straight day by 16.81 points to 4576.61. Indeed, the 10.9pc increase in those sessions is the biggest uninterrupted increase since the index was set up in 1985. The Treasury forecast in the Budget earlier this year that the economy would shrink by 3.5pc this year, but most independent forecasters, including the International Monetary Fund and OECD, expect a far more severe contraction. The ONS figures also cast doubt on whether the economy will start to grow again before the end of the year. Michael Saunders, UK economist at Citigroup, said although he expects growth to return in the third quarter, the recovery will feel subdued. "As well as a deep recession, we expect a slow recovery, held back by high private debts and (with inadequate bank capital) poor credit availability," he said, adding that it would take until 2013 for the economy to reach the pre-recession peaks of 2008. He added: "It will be many years before the UK returns to a well-balanced and sustainable mix of low unemployment, low fiscal deficit and low public debts, decent economic growth and low inflation." The GDP decline also casts doubt on whether the Treasury will achieve its borrowing targets for the year – even though the £175bn of debt forecast for this fiscal year is already set to be a post-war record deficit. The Budget assumed, when drawing up these borrowing figures that the economy would shrink by 3.75pc, at worst. A bigger fall would push the deficit up further, as it would imply lower tax revenues and bigger comparative public spending totals. Liam Byrne, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, insisted that growth would return by the end of the year. "We are not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination, but what today's figures show is that the pace of the downturn is easing," he said.
