El Gobierno creará un observatorio de la vivienda turística en EspañaCáceres/Madrid (EFE).- El presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, ha anunciado este miércoles la creación de un observatorio de la vivienda turística que elaborará un «atlas de intensidad turística» para facilitar la convivencia entre turistas y residentes.«El turismo llena nuestras ciudades de vida, pero no puede vaciar nuestros barrios de sus vecinos», ha defendido Sánchez durante su intervención en la V Convención Turespaña, que esta semana reúne en Cáceres a representantes del sector turístico.Según ha explicado, el auge del alquiler turístico impacta de lleno en muchas ciudades en el derecho a acceder a una vivienda digna, lo que hace que el Gobierno quiera «seguir avanzando en su ordenación».Gentrificación o expulsión de los vecinos de las ciudadesHa habido situaciones como por ejemplo profesores obligados este verano en Ibiza a dormir en caravanas, barrios en Barcelona donde se pide a Google Maps que oculten rutas de autobús para devolver el espacio a sus vecinos o municipios que multiplican por ocho el número de turistas en relación con sus habitantes, ha apuntado.Uno de los efectos del auge del alquiler turístico es la gentrificación (la expulsión de los vecinos de los centros de las ciudades), que afecta al 27 % de los vecinos de las ciudades turísticas.Sánchez ha recordado que el Gobierno ya ha puesto en marcha una medida para terminar con el fraude del alquiler vacacional y para retirar en torno a 54.000 pisos turísticos ilegales de los portales y las plataformas de alquiler vacacional.El observatorio que se va a crear en la Secretaría de Estado de Turismo, «va a servir para dar transparencia, arrojar luz donde ahora mismo no la hay y, por tanto, conciliar mejor turismo y convivencia con los residentes, especialmente en lo que se refiere a su coste de vida», ha indicado.Un modelo que construya futuro en lugar de hipotecarloAunque la percepción general que se tiene sobre el impacto del turismo en España es muy positiva, «también estamos en un momento excepcional en el que no podemos permitirnos morir de éxito». España necesita «un modelo de turismo que construya futuro en lugar de hipotecarlo».De ahí, la apuesta por la sostenibilidad en todos los ámbitos: el económico, el empresarial, el laboral, el territorial y el climático porque «dejarse llevare por la inercia es pan para hoy y hambre para mañana».Entre otros avances que ya se están logrando en España, Sánchez ha mencionado la llegada de turistas en temporada baja que crece a tasas superiores al 27 %, casi el triple de los aumentos en temporada alta, y «menos estacionalidad se traduce en más estabilidad de los empleos y en mayor predictibilidad para las empresas».Asimismo, se está diversificando destinos y la España interior desconocida para muchos ya no lo es tanto. En dos décadas, se han triplicado las pernoctaciones en el ámbito del turismo rural y eso se traduce en cohesión territorial, en riqueza y en empleo, ha agregado.También se está impulsando la digitalización; la apertura a nuevos mercados emisores, no solamente los tradicionales europeos, sino también los asiáticos y latinoamericanos, y la apuesta por la calidad de los servicios turísticos.La nueva estrategia nace con el consenso de 300 entidadesSánchez ha sintetizado la nueva Estrategia España Turismo 2030 presentada hoy en el marco de la convención y que se aprobará la próxima semana en el Consejo de Ministros, en tres ideas: el consenso, la transversalidad y la modernización.Casi 300 entidades del ámbito público y privado han participado en la elaboración de dicho plan, que incluye 50 medidas de diferentes ministerios y organismos que pertenecen a la Administración General del Estado y «que muestran, por tanto, el compromiso total absoluto del Gobierno con esta industria tan importante como es la turística», ha apuntado.Sánchez ha destacado que en la estrategia se incorpora la emergencia climática como factor central con medidas para mitigar y gestionar las crisis también desde el punto de vista del turismo.«Porque evidentemente si nuestras playas son engullidas por el incremento de los niveles del mar, si se queman nuestros montes, si se arrasan nuestros parques naturales, vamos a poner en serio riesgo la viabilidad presente y futura de nuestro turismo. Y no queremos eso».«Lo que queremos es situar a España no solo como uno de los países más visitados del mundo, sino también como referente en la adaptación y en la mitigación de este desafío que comparte toda la humanidad como es la emergencia climática y, por tanto, apostar y consolidar un turismo sostenible», ha concluido.
Lo de Ryanair es una buena noticia si queremos que esta locura de burbujas termine. Si no hay vuelos baratos no hay turistas, si no hay turistas no hay alquiler turístico, si no hay alquiler turístico, o se comen el piso cerrado o tienen que ir al de toda la vida, o poner a la venta el piso. En cualquiera de los casos es un clavo más en el ataúd del modelo, y uno gordo. Y obliga a empezar a pensar en trabajar y emprender de verdad y no a base de pelotazosQuiero hacerme la ilusión de que esto es "guerra de atrición" a lo Gerasimov
UBS fund holds 30% exposure linked to First BrandsSwitzerland’s largest bank has multiple investments tied to bankrupt auto parts makerUBS has more than $500mn of exposure to First Brands’ debt and invoice-linked financing © FT montage/ReutersA UBS fund has 30 per cent of its portfolio tied to the failed First Brands Group, leaving Switzerland’s largest bank grappling with a bankruptcy that has convulsed global finance.Clients are braced for big losses after UBS O’Connor, a private credit and commodities specialist owned by the Swiss bank, revealed that 30 per cent of the exposure in one of its funds is tied to the auto parts group.O’Connor recently told investors in its “Opportunistic” working capital finance strategy that the fund had 9.1 per cent of “direct” exposure — financing facilities based on invoices First Brands’ was due to pay — and 21.4 per cent of “indirect” exposure — based on invoices its customers were due to pay.Overall, UBS has more than $500mn of exposure to First Brands’ debt and invoice-linked financing, across various parts of its investment arm, according to bankruptcy filings.UBS is just one of many investors to be hurt by the implosion of the Ohio-based industrial business, which has raised broader questions about the dangers lurking in the booming private credit market.Some of the biggest names on Wall Street such as Blackstone had exposure to First Brands debt, while less known financing firms, such as Utah-based leasing specialist Onset Financial, are also deeply embroiled in the fiasco.For UBS, the fallout over First Brands threatens to engulf the highest echelons of Swiss banking in a fresh crisis relating to invoice finance, nearly five years after the implosion of Greensill Capital rocked Credit Suisse.UBS later rescued Credit Suisse from the brink of failure in 2023 and is still dealing with a raft of legacy litigation relating to the Greensill scandal.O’Connor’s funds invested in invoice-backed debt linked to the auto parts company through a technology platform called Raistone, whose business was heavily dependent on arranging financing for First Brands.Founded in 2019 by former Greensill Capital employee David Skirzenski, New York-based Raistone’s website states that it provides billions of dollars in “working capital” financing a year to companies “of all sizes”. However, the fintech business was deeply entwined with First Brands and is now experiencing difficulties of its own.One of O’Connor’s funds also held an equity stake in Raistone itself, according to four people familiar with the matter.O’Connor is in the process of being sold by UBS to Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street brokerage whose longtime leader, Howard Lutnick, stepped down as chair and chief executive in February to become Donald Trump’s commerce secretary.The level of exposure in the O’Connor fund could spark concern among investors who were previously assured that it would not hold more than 20 per cent of assets in a single “position”.O’Connor split out the 21.4 per cent of “indirect” exposure across First Brands’ various customers, which were often investment-grade rated. This meant that the exposure did not exceed a 20 per cent “max position limit” in the O’Connor fund, which was previously disclosed to investors in documents seen by the Financial Times. “The Working Capital Fund is not in breach of any applicable investment restrictions or guidelines,” said UBS.UBS said the investment in Raistone is “held by a fund managed by O’Connor”, adding that the bank itself “does not have a proprietary equity stake”.One person familiar with the matter said this stake represented less than 1 per cent of the O’Connor fund’s assets and was also disclosed to investors in its working capital funds. They added the O’Connor fund’s stake represented a “small” minority of Raistone’s shares.First Brands accounted for between 70 and 80 per cent of Raistone’s revenues, according to people familiar with the matter. The firm recently laid off 60 people as a result of the situation, the people said, keeping 40 in total. Bloomberg previously reported that Raistone had cut jobs and relied on First Brands for most of its revenue. Raistone declined to comment.As well as acting as a platform, Raistone also invested in First Brands’ invoices through several different structures, including special-purpose vehicles. One person familiar with the matter said these vehicles were also managed on behalf of third party investors, however.Investors with exposure of $631mn to First Brands’ supply-chain finance programme — which rely on First Brands’ settling invoices — are listed in connection with Raistone in the company’s bankruptcy filing.However, Raistone is also listed as having an “undetermined” amount of exposure to First Brands’ “receivables” — which are tied to invoices settled by customers — due to the “contingent”, “unliquidated” or “disputed” nature of its unsecured claim.This uncertainty could pose problems for O’Connor and other investors that invested through Raistone.The brewing disputes over this collateral, coupled with an investigation as part of the bankruptcy into whether invoices were pledged “more than once”, could mean that investors have to fight to prove that this financing is backed with a claim against First Brands’ customers rather than the company itself.Raistone last week lodged an objection to a rescue loan for the company, arguing the receivables it bought are its own property, not that of the company’s estate. Raistone added there was “considerable risk” that these assets “could easily be swept up as cash collateral or pledged to secure” the rescue facility. In January 2023, O’Connor provided investors in its funds with a case study on a “North American auto parts manufacturer” that appears to refer to First Brands, as revenue and margin numbers disclosed match those in the company’s 2022 accounts. The case study disclosed that O’Connor was earning a 17 per cent yield on 60-day investments linked to the company’s supply chain.The case study disclosed that “risks include default and fraud”.

Jefferies reveals $715mn fund exposure to First Brands invoicesUS bank’s credit unit is one of largest-known creditors to bankrupt auto parts companyJefferies has set out its exposure to bankrupt car parts maker First Brands © BloombergJefferies has said that one of its credit funds has about $715mn of exposure linked to First Brands Group, making it one of the largest-known creditors to the bankrupt auto parts company.The US investment bank is one of several high-profile Wall Street firms hurt by investment in First Brands debt, with private asset specialists such as Blackstone having already booked losses on loans they extended in the run-up to the Ohio-based group’s chaotic bankruptcy last month.Jefferies is under intense scrutiny for its long-standing relationship with First Brands. It provided opaque invoice financing to the sprawling group, while advising the company and placing billions of dollars of loans with other investors.The disclosure reveals the extent of the exposure to First Brands amassed by Jefferies and its clients. Jefferies’ involvement in this invoice lending was not widely known on Wall Street until a Financial Times report last month.Shares in the bank have fallen 16 per cent since mid-September, when First Brands’ financial and legal advisers began to explore a bankruptcy.Jefferies on Wednesday said that a specialist invoice-finance fund it manages, Point Bonita Capital, has approximately $715mn invested in “receivables” — customer invoices — from retailers that bought First Brands products such as spark plugs and windscreen wipers and sold them to American consumers.Jefferies said these receivables were “almost entirely due from Walmart, AutoZone, NAPA, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and Advanced Auto Parts”.Point Bonita primarily carried out invoice “factoring” for the group, meaning repayment relies on these blue-chip, often investment-grade rated companies, rather than First Brands itself.While Point Bonita primarily has exposure to First Brands’ customers, rather than the auto parts maker itself, an investigation set up as part of the bankruptcy is probing whether invoices were pledged more than once.Jefferies said on Wednesday that it had “not yet received any information regarding the results of that investigation”.Point Bonita held a total of about $3bn in “trade-finance assets”, Jefferies said.While the fund’s investments are not held on Jefferies’ balance sheet, the bank does have some exposure to First Brands’ debt. It said on Wednesday that $113mn of Point Bonita’s “total invested equity of $1.9bn” was from Jefferies’ Leucadia Asset Management division.The FT revealed this week that Jefferies earned undisclosed fees on financing it provided to First Brands, in an arrangement that could spark recriminations from other lenders that were unaware of the sweeteners.“We are in communication with First Brands’ advisers and are working diligently to determine what the impact on Point Bonita might be,” Jefferies said. “We intend to exert every effort to protect the interests and enforce the rights of Point Bonita and its investors.”Point Bonita, along with three other creditors to First Brands’ invoice “factoring” facilities, is listed in bankruptcy filings as an unsecured creditor with a “contingent”, “unliquidated” or “disputed” claim, indicating these investors could face difficulties if they instead tried to reclaim the money from the bankruptcy estate.Point Bonita fund documents seen by the FT show that, as of June, it carried a “leverage ratio” of more than 160 per cent, having borrowed against its assets to boost returns for investors.The same documents show that its second- and third-largest exposures were to First Brands customers Walmart and O’Reilly. The two retailers accounted for 9.5 per cent and 8.6 per cent of the fund’s net assets respectively as of June, the documents show.Point Bonita also told investors that about 20 per cent of its portfolio was then covered by “hedges” through products such as credit insurance. Jefferies declined to comment on these fund disclosures.Jefferies also warned that another of its investment vehicles had been drawn into the First Brands debacle. The company said that Apex Credit Partners, a structured finance joint venture with insurance and investment group MassMutual, held $48mn worth of loans to First Brands.Those loans were owned by 12 collateralised loan obligations — structured investment vehicles that buy up pools of corporate loans — and one financing “warehouse” managed by Apex. While those CLOs are ultimately held primarily by other investors, Apex itself invested in the riskiest portion of the structured investment vehicles.These riskier slices of debt would bear the brunt of any losses if loans held by the CLOs defaulted.Point Bonita — named after a lighthouse overlooking San Francisco Bay — pitched itself as safe and secure to investors, according to marketing materials reviewed by the FT.“Like its namesake, Point Bonita Capital seeks to serve as a steady beacon in a dynamic environment,” said one investor pitchbook.
IMF and BoE warn AI boom risks ‘abrupt’ stock market correctionKristalina Georgieva and UK financial stability watchdog say valuations are closing in on dotcom bubble levelsIMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said bullish market sentiment about ‘the productivity-enhancing potential of AI’ could ‘turn abruptly’, hitting the world economy © APGlobal stock markets are at risk of a sudden correction as the artificial intelligence boom pushes valuations towards dotcom bubble levels, both the IMF and Bank of England have warned.Kristalina Georgieva, IMF managing director, said on Wednesday that bullish market sentiment about “the productivity-enhancing potential of AI” could “turn abruptly”, hitting the world economy.She was speaking hours after the BoE body overseeing financial stability risks also drew parallels with the 2000 crash that followed the dotcom boom, warning of the risk of a “sudden correction” in global financial markets.“Today’s valuations are heading towards levels we saw during the bullishness about the internet 25 years ago,” Georgieva said in a speech delivered ahead of the IMF’s annual meetings next week.The remarks by the IMF managing director and the BoE are the clearest warnings yet by global officials that an AI-led market bubble could burst.Georgieva said optimism about AI had “fired up” markets and helped support the global economy. But she added that a sharp correction in stock prices “could drag down world growth, expose vulnerabilities and make life especially tough for developing countries”.In similar language, the BoE’s Financial Policy Committee warned that “the risk of a sharp market correction has increased” in the record of its latest meeting on Wednesday.It said that the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio for US shares, a closely watched measure of valuations, had come close to the levels of 25 years ago — “comparable with the peak of the dotcom bubble”.The S&P 500 index of larger US-listed companies is trading at a one-year forward price-to-earnings ratio of 25 times, which is “elevated relative to historical levels” but below levels of the 2000 dotcom bubble, it added.The index has climbed 14 per cent this year in a rapid rebound from the slump that followed Donald Trump’s “liberation day” tariff announcement in April.But Nvidia chief Jensen Huang told CNBC on Wednesday that the current AI boom was “dramatically different” to the dotcom bubble because the “hyperscalers” — such as Microsoft, Google and Meta — were so much richer than the likes of pets.com, one of the most notorious internet bubble-era listings.US Federal Reserve officials have played down the prospect of a damaging market correction. Mary Daly, the head of the San Francisco Fed, said this week that an AI bubble was not a threat to financial stability.“Research and economics call it more like a good bubble, where you’re getting a ton of investment,” she told Axios. “Even if the investors don’t get all the returns that the early enthusiasts think when they invest, it doesn’t leave us with nothing. It leaves us with something productive.”The BoE argued that the dangers of a market reversal had been compounded by defaults in US automotive credit markets in recent months, adding that these “underscore some of the risks” it has been highlighting in market-based finance.Additional risks stem from rising political pressure on the Fed, which “could result in a sharp re-pricing of US dollar assets” and from uncertainty around “political deadlocks in France and Japan”, which also threaten to disrupt debt markets.The BoE said that on a number of measures “equity market valuations appear stretched, particularly for technology companies focused on artificial intelligence”.“This, when combined with increasing concentration within market indices, leaves equity markets particularly exposed should expectations around the impact of AI become less optimistic.”The BoE said “any AI-led price adjustment” would have a greater impact on investors because of the higher concentration of tech companies in the overall market. The top five tech groups make up an all-time high of almost 30 per cent of the S&P 500.US credit markets have been shaken in recent weeks by the defaults of subprime auto lender Tricolor and car parts group First Brands, which both relied heavily on loans from private credit providers and invoice financing.“These underscore some of the risks the FPC have previously highlighted around high leverage, weak underwriting standards, opacity and complex structures,” the BoE said.It added that credit market spreads, measuring the difference between interest rates for riskier borrowers and those considered safe, had fallen “close to historically low levels”.Georgieva said the AI boom and the weakening of the dollar had helped to ease financial conditions and lift the global economy.“We see global growth slowing only slightly this year and next. All signs point to a world economy that has generally withstood acute strains from multiple shocks,” the IMF chief said.
