Lo de los avales públicos para las hipotecas es sencillamente aberrante. El riesgo que no le dejamos asumir a los bancos, porque es peligroso para la estabilidad financiera e igual hay que rescatarlos luego, se le transfiere al estado y listo. ¿Cómo no se nos ha ocurrido antes?Ahora bien, las instituciones europeas todavía tienen sus armas, el tipo de interés y las reglas de estabilidad presupuestaria. Como esos avales computen como deuda pública...¿Volverá la prima de riesgo a abrir los telediarios?Enviado desde mi Aquaris X mediante Tapatalk
Property Crunch Lays Low SBB, One of Europe’s Most Indebted Landlords
Property Crunch Lays Low SBB, One of Europe's Most Indebted LandlordsShares in heavily indebted Swedish landlord SBB continued a multi-day spiral Tuesday, dropping after the company said late Monday it would postpone payment of its dividend in a bid to preserve cash.The rocky reception followed a Monday downgrade of the company’s bonds by S&P Global Ratings to junk. The downgrade is slated to further increase the Stockholm-based property owner’s interest payments and may make it harder to refinance its high debt load coming due in the next two years.SBB, one of the most-owned stocks in Sweden, has become a high-profile casualty of rising interest rates, as falling values have halted a debt-fueled expansion spree. Its market capitalization has dropped from over $17 billion in late 2021 to less than $1.5 billion, a giant comedown for its more than 260,000 shareholders.Shares have fallen 14 out of the last 15 trading days. In recent trading Tuesday, the stock stood about 14% lower at 7.20 Swedish krona a share.The dividend paid by SBB—officially known as Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden—has been a focal point for investors. Despite a broad strategy to raise cash by selling assets, SBB announced earlier this year it would increase the dividend to 1.4 Swedish krona per share per year—a move analysts at Nordea called “unsustainable.”SBB said late Monday it would also scrap a planned share offering that was intended to raise over $250 million amid its falling stock price.Postponing the dividend will weigh on the personal finances of SBB’s CEO, Ilija Batljan, who raised bonds tied to his shares of SBB and other companies. His holding company Ilija Batljan Holdings said in its annual report that the dividends it received were “very important” for its “long-term endurance and value creation.”On Thursday, Scope Ratings downgraded two classes of those bonds to below investment grade. Among other factors, Scope cited "a slump in the share price of its core holding SBB."
Fed's Jefferson says economy slowing in "orderly" mannerWASHINGTON, May 9 (Reuters) - The U.S. economy is slowing in an "orderly fashion" that should allow inflation to decline even as growth continues, Fed Governor Philip Jefferson said on Tuesday."The economy has started to slow in an orderly fashion...I am of the view that inflation will start to come down and the economy will have the opportunity to continue to expand," Jefferson said in comments to the Atlanta Black Chambers business group.Jefferson did not comment on his current view of Fed interest rate policy, with the federal funds rate currently set in a range, between 5% and 5.25%, that many of his colleagues have said should be adequate to return inflation to the Fed's 2% target. It is currently more than twice that.But his remarks did indicate hope for a "soft landing" in which inflation cools without a dramatic drop in economic activity.Jefferson said that the recent tightening of credit standards by banks, reflected in a Fed survey released on Monday, was "typical" for where the U.S. is in the economic cycle and a "natural part" of the Fed's monetary tightening.

El Gobierno se fijará en el modelo catalán para rematar el índice de control de alquileres de la ley de viviendaCon la ley de vivienda recién aprobada por el Congreso y a puntito de pasar por el Senado, el Gobierno trabaja en tener listo cuanto antes el índice de precios que permitirá aplicar el control de alquileres a aquellas comunidades que lo soliciten."Vamos a intentar terminar con este proceso lo más rápidamente posible para que esté listo con los precios de mercado", confirman fuentes del Ministerio de Movilidad, Transportes y Agenda Urbana.El Gobierno confía en ajustar los últimos detalles en los próximos meses de cara a garantizar un índice actualizado y fiable este mismo año. Para ello, se fijará en el modelo catalán. "Vamos a mejorar el índice actual para actualizarlo. En la ley se ha establecido que aprovecharemos aquello que esté bien hecho desde el punto de vista jurídico. Los índices que pudieran existir en otros territorios como el catalán nos pueden servir para establecer un mecanismo de homogeneización con el índice estatal", señalan las mismas fuentes.Lo cierto es que el índice ya está (casi, casi) listo. La base será el propio índice creado por este ministerio hace unos años, cuando todavía era titular el exministro José Luis Ábalos. A principios de 2020, Ábalos anunció la publicación del primer índice oficial de precios de alquiler (hasta entonces, no había estadísticas públicas al respecto). La idea es aprovechar esa información, complementarla con la de algunas comunidades y establecer una homologación para poder utilizarla en el índice estatal.

LinkedIn Will Cut Over 700 Jobs Worldwide and Shut Its China AppPosted by msmash on Tuesday May 09, 2023 @12:45PM from the tremulous-times dept.LinkedIn, the networking platform used by millions of employees and companies, said on Monday it will pare down its operations in China, capping a multiyear pullback that exemplified the challenges of running a foreign business in China. From a report:CitarThe company, owned by Microsoft, said it will lay off 716 employees worldwide, including teams dedicated to engineering and marketing in China, because of slumping demand. It did not say how many of those layoffs will be in China. LinkedIn will also shut its China job posting app, a bare-bones version of its international service, by August. Users of the app, called InCareer, could only search for jobs and not post or share articles the way they can on LinkedIn.When LinkedIn started a Chinese-language version of its website in 2014, it charted a path that its peers, including Facebook and Google, had shied away from. It partnered with local firms and began censoring the content of millions of Chinese customers in accordance with Beijing's strict laws. Several U.S. journalists and activists said their profiles had been blocked because of "prohibited content." The company said at the time that while it opposed government censorship, its absence in the country could deprive Chinese professionals of the chance to make professional connections.
