G7 Officials Meeting Begins At US Treasury Department
By Maya Jackson Randall
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Finance ministers and central bank officials from leading industrialized nations have kicked off a critical meeting at the U.S. Treasury Department to discuss ongoing turmoil in the financial markets and measures to stem a crisis that has rapidly spread around the globe.

International stock markets have plummeted this week and credit markets have frozen. Investors are yearning for finance officials this weekend to announce a coordinated plan to ease market tension.

Among other things, Group of Seven officials are expected to discuss a U.K. proposal to help ailing credit markets by guaranteeing interbank lending. They are also reportedly mulling a rewrite of global financial rules.

The G7 includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S.

At the meeting table there also were seats reserved for officials from Russia. The seats, however, were empty when the meeting began. Russia and the G7 countries comprise the Group of Eight leading nations.

Leaders of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have repeatedly called for finance officials to take swift, coordinated action in order to prevent a severe, protracted global recession. On Wednesday, the IMF cut its global forecast for growth for this year and next year. It also said the ongoing market challenges are expected to push several mature economies into recession.

"The world economy is now entering a major downturn in the face of the most dangerous shock in mature financial markets since the 1930s," the IMF said Wednesday in its World Economic Outlook.

Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has called for an emergency meeting Saturday of the Group of 20, which includes a set of developed and emerging countries beyond the G7.

"A coordinated response between more than seven countries is the only way to tackle the crisis," said French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde on Friday.

As finance officials try to attack the crisis in a unified way, President George W. Bush made clear that the U.S., where the credit market turmoil began, stands ready to act. He said Friday his administration has all of the tools it needs to restore order to financial markets.

Bush administration officials have said they are considering a plan to guarantee interbank lending and also mulling ways to inject capital into ailing banks.

Administration officials were expected to speak with banking sector representatives on a conference call Friday afternoon. And Bush is scheduled to meet with G7 finance ministers Saturday morning.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was slated Friday to meet with economic officials from Saudi Arabia and Japan. On Saturday, the Treasury secretary is scheduled to meet with finance ministers from the U.K., Canada, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay.

UPDATE: Exchanges, Regulators Square Off Over CDS Market
(Adds Eurex proposal in 13th paragraph and analyst comment beginning in the 18th paragraph.)


By Jacob Bunge
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

CHICAGO -(Dow Jones)- U.S. regulators said they are trying to accelerate centralized clearing of credit-default swaps, with four groups lining up for a slice of the $54 trillion market.

The Friday meeting of exchanges, dealers and regulators hosted by the New York Federal Reserve, which has long pushed for a more efficient CDS market, also included participants from the European Central Bank.

The New York Fed said in a statement ahead of a meeting that it does not "endorse" any of the four proposals so far made to clear CDS trades that are currently conducted on an over-the-counter basis.

IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) and the Eurex derivatives arm of Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1.XE) both outlined CDS clearing platforms Friday, joining a proposal from CME Group Inc. (CME) and interest from NYSE Euronext (NYX).

CME has said its trading platform and clearing link can be ready by early November, while the ICE proposal, made in partnership with The Clearing Corp., is slated for launch by the end of the year.

The first stage of the Eurex initiative would also be ready by year-end, according to a person familiar with the plan.

While the Fed said it aimed to "accelerate market adoption" of centralized clearing, the timing hinges on defining the regulatory landscape.

U.S. regulators have yet to decide on oversight of the CDS market, with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission engaged in a nascent turf war over the market.

The New York Fed, which has spearheaded efforts to improve processing of CDS trades, is expected to play a role, and the state's insurance regulator also wants to oversee the sector from next year.

The banks and broker-dealers that dominate the CDS market have also been reluctant to migrate what has been one of their most profitable businesses to an exchange environment, despite the mounting regulatory pressure.

ICE announced Friday it would partner with the "global" CDS initiative pushed by The Clearing Corp., which is backed by a group of banks, inter-dealer brokers and data providers.

CME this week announced it will launch its long-planned centrally cleared solution for CDS trading by the first week of November. The unnamed venture is being developed with Citadel Investment Group, but equity would be opened to others to encourage participation.

Eurex described its solution as a two-stage platform that will initially support single-name and index-based CDSs, which is anticipated to be easily implemented and ready almost immediately, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The second stage, projected for the first half of 2009, will include central clearing for ISDA-documented OTC credit derivatives. Eurex said its proposal enjoyed "support from European authorities."

NYSE Euronext which clears a range of OTC products through its BClear unit in Europe, is also eyeing the CDS market.

Previous efforts by CME and Eurex to develop exchange-traded CDs contracts have met with little success. However, the escalated concerns over counterparty risk increase the attraction of transparent, centrally cleared CDS solutions.

CME Chief Executive Craig Donohue has said that he believes regulators would like to see several competing solutions to the CDS clearing issue, but that the market will eventually move toward a single platform, in part to concentrate liquidity.

"We believe a united solution to provide clearing for this market will be key to liquidity being restored," said analysts at Jefferies & Co. in a note to clients.

Convincing dealer banks to support a centrally cleared CDS platform may also present a challenge. According to a person familiar with the matter, some banks were reluctant to support the CME/Citadel proposal.

This person said those dealers didn't want Citadel to profit from trades that the dealers have been handling.

G7 Mulls Saying No Systemically Important Bank Can Fail -Source
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Group of Seven leading industrial nations is discussing whether to say that no bank of systemic importance should be allowed to fail in its final statement, as well as mulling ways to restore confidence on largely frozen interbank markets, a European G7 official told Dow Jones Newswires Friday.

The G7, which is meeting Friday in Washington to address the global financial crisis, is trying to agree on a set of common principles that all seven countries would have to stand by when rescuing troubled banks, the source added.

"We have to be sure that European and other G7 countries stick to a certain number of rules in terms of state intervention [when rescuing a bank or a financial institution], that will not distort competition and be mindful of the impact their measures can have on neighbor countries," the official added. "What we want is a common toolbox."

One of the main points up for discussion at Friday's G7 meeting is whether no more bank of systemic importance will be allowed to fail, after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings in September sent financial markets reeling.

"One of the points of discussion is whether Mr. Paulson is ready to say that he will not let any bank of systemic importance fail and whether the [U.S. government] is ready to take stakes in banks if necessary," the European G7 official said.

European Union countries last week agreed at the regular monthly meeting of their finance ministers in Luxembourg to support systemically important banks, but they said each member state had to come up with national solutions to stem the financial crisis. At the same time they stressed the need for increased coordination between European countries in their responses to the financial turmoil.

European G7 countries are now pushing for the G7 to adopt a similar stance, the official explained.

The G7 is also looking at ways to restore confidence in interbank markets, which have recently nearly ground to a halt, further aggravating stress on financial markets. However, the G7 is unlikely to recommend the adoption of a U.K.-style plan for all G7 countries, the source said.

"The question is whether new measures are needed to unfreeze the interbank markets," the official said. "Can a U.K-style response be implemented everywhere? It's unlikely to be the case because of different national situations."

U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown is calling for major industrial powers to come together and guarantee interbank lending as credit markets around the world have frozen. Under the plan, now being pitched to G7, the U.K. government would guarantee up to GBP250 billion in bank debt maturing up to 36 months.

The U.K.'s concept of an expansion of such a proposal to other countries has a lot of support from Wall Street and is being pored over by U.S. officials, according to people familiar with the matter.

The final G7 communique is likely to emphasize the measures recently taken by the various countries to prop up their ailing financial systems, as well as the steps announced by the European Central Bank this week to inject further liquidity in the financial system, the European official said.

"The fact that the ECB is providing banks with liquidity at a fixed rate in an unlimited way gives them visibility on their funding at least until the end of this year," the official added.

By Kate Haywood And Matthias Rieker
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Despite considerable efforts from businesses and governments around the globe to stem the financial crisis, there is still a long way to go before trust in the financial system is restored, top industry executives said Friday.

At a panel discussion sponsored by the Partnership For New York City, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Stock Exchange, five chief executives from major financial services firms discussed the financial crisis and its potential outcome with little immediate optimism. More economic stimulus might be needed.

Steven Schwarzman, chief executive officer of Blackstone Group (BX), said that the public is waking up to the problem, but that the world's governments are still some way off finding and implementing a coordinated resolution. Governments are "on crisis footing," he said.

That might not help all those struggling. BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink said he expects more failures and that "we need to do more" to restore the commercial-paper market. He said, "We have to avoid becoming Japan," which struggled through years of deflation until it restored the banking system and lending.

The panelists agreed that the basis of the problem is liquidity, adding that the financial system needs a better regulatory framework dominated by the Federal Reserve. Fink said that more money managers, regardless of whether they are public or private, should be regulated.

Schwarzman said, "The ultimate resolution to this will involve guaranteeing the liabilities of financial institutions."

"It's a matter of time before the system gets there," he said. James Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), said he is confident that the government will eventually get the crisis under control.

"We are talking about trillions of dollars of [government] support countering the hysteria," but it remains unclear where we are in the process of stabilizing the financial system, Dimon said.

There are some rare signs of hope. Lloyd Blankfein, chief executive of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS). said that Wells Fargo & Co's (WFC) proposed purchase of Wachovia Corp. (WB) without government or regulatory assistance is positive and helpful to the system. (His company advised Wachovia, which had previously reached a deal to split and sell its banking operations to Citigroup Inc. (C). Citigroup is suing Wells Fargo and Wachovia for $60 billion in damages.)

But the panelists agreed that the turning point hasn't been reached. Blankfein said the crisis now "has to run its course" and will eventually abate.

Glen Hutchins, co-CEO of private-equity firm Silver Lake, said a systemic shock is needed that would turn the crisis around. He didn't elaborate on what form this systemic shock could take.

Hutchins also said that part of the solution must be to allow people to refinance their home loans at low interest rates.

Dimon also called for an overhaul of the mortgage business. "Mortgages need to be regulated," Dimon said. "It has to be done globally."

"Real estate is at the center of crisis after crisis," he added. BlackRocks' Fink said mortgages should be fixed and comply with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mae guidelines, because the crisis grew out problems around adjustable-rate mortgages.

The panelists agreed that the inflow of government money into the financial system poses no immediate danger of inflation, but instead is necessary to ward off current deflationary trends. Dealing with the financial crisis now is more important than worries about inflation, the panelists agreed.

At least two panelists said that more stimulus is necessary to help the economy get out of the crisis. Silver Lake's Hutchins said that a second stimulus package should focus on infrastructure instead of individual checks to taxpayers, while Blankfein argued that such investments would take too long to stem the tide.

"There is going to be a lot of pressure" on a second round of checks, he said. "Economically, it's probably called for."

The panel failed to find a middle ground as to what extent fair value accounting contributed to the crisis.

Fair value accounting - which requires mark-to-market accounting of assets every quarter, a measure many have blamed for making the crisis worse because the market to determine the value of troubled mortgage assets remains illiquid - "puts enormous pressure on the system," Blackstones's Schwarzman said. The Troubled Asset Relief Program Congress and the president agreed upon two weeks ago opens the door to eleviate some of that pressure, but JPMorgan Chase's Dimon said, "I hope Congress does not get involved with accounting rules."

Contrary to many bankers in recent months, he defended fair value as legitimate procedures to account for the declining value of mortgage assets. "Most of these losses are real," he said about the write-downs bankers have to take related to collateralized mortgage obligations and other assets. "The money is lost. The mark to market was actually accurate," he said. "Recongnizing the problem is the first step to solving it."

However, he said that there needs to be litigation overhaul to allow New York to remain the center of world financial services. The legal system has "run amok," he said.

The general public remains pessimistic about Wall Street, Dimon said, namely related to executive compensation.

While Fink and Blankfein brushed the public sentiment away as politics as usual, Blackstone's Schwarzman said the public outcry will be a major issue for the next Congress and president. "This anger is substantial and is has legs," he said. "I think there is a wave of negativity not only against Wall Street but all business."

Europe Moving In Same Direction On Crisis

OECD Gurria: Europe Moving In Same Direction On Crisis


WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Angel Gurria, secretary general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Monday lauded the concerted action across the globe to deal with the financial crisis that has frozen credit markets and said Europe is now heading in a single direction.

"Everybody was doing something different. They were all addressing the issues but all were doing it in a different way," Gurria said in a speech to the U.S. Council for International Business.

He added that "the good thing about the weekend," when the Group of Seven leading developed nations and leaders from the euro zone adopted action plans to deal with the crisis, is that countries are slowly opting for a convergence in their approaches.

In Europe in particular, states offered different remedies to calm fears about the credit squeeze and threat to private bank accounts.

But after this weekend, "everybody is moving into the same direction," Gurria said.

His comments come after leaders of the 15-member euro-zone group Sunday adopted a sweeping action plan that aims to address the impact of the global credit crisis. The plan calls for euro-zone governments to issue guarantees and insurance, to buy stock in cash-strapped companies, to issue qualifying capital to financial institutions through preferred shares and other instruments, and to act to stabilize long-term maturities.

Countries outlined their national implementation Monday, which includes hundreds of billions of euros in state guarantees and tens of billions in recapitalization of banks.

The G7 on Friday unveiled a five-point "action plan" committing the group to ensure banks had enough capital and liquidity at their disposal.

Gurria said now was not the time to worry about potential moral hazard issues raised by governments in both the U.S. and Europe coming to the rescue of troubled financial institutions. "Forget about the moral hazard. It's not because we have taken stakes in banks that we have become communists. We did what was needed."

However, he warned that despite the bail-out plans devised by governments on both sides of the Atlantic, the financial meltdown would take its toll on global growth.

"This will have consequences," Gurria said, noting that "2008-2009 will be very flat in terms of growth."

The OECD secretary general emphasized that the role of sovereign wealth funds as long-term investors was even more crucial against the current financial turmoil backdrop, as they can provide much-needed cash to companies battered by the credit crisis, at a time when other sources of liquidity have dried up.

In that view, it is essential that countries receiving investment from sovereign wealth funds abide by the principles devised by the OECD of transparency and nondiscrimination, Gurria said. Recipient countries must be transparent on the ways they review proposed investments from sovereign wealth funds, and treat foreign investments in the same way as domestic investments, he added.

"We want to avoid the illegitimate use of national security to stop bona fide investments" from sovereign wealth funds, Gurria said. "It's not obvious why a yogurt factory suddenly became of national importance", he said, referring to the speculation of takeover of French dairy giant Groupe Danone (BN.FR) by U.S. beverage company Pepsico (PEP) that prompted the French government to take legislation restricting foreign investment in 2005.

"In this crisis, you can't just tell the sovereign wealth funds to come to the rescue and then go. You can't just say to them: 'Don't call us, we'll call you,'" Gurria said, adding that sovereign wealth funds have to be considered as regular members of the global investment community.

Since the credit crisis erupted a year ago, sovereign wealth funds from China, Singapore and United Arab Emirates have provided money to a number of Wall Street firms, including Citigroup Inc. (C), Morgan Stanley (MS), Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER) and Swiss bank UBS AG (UBS). The recent financial markets collapse has led these sovereign wealth funds to lose billions of dollars on those investments.

Major sovereign wealth funds Saturday unveiled a package of best practices to the International Monetary Fund that officials say should encourage a free flow of investment and thereby aid efforts to combat the global credit crunch. The goal of these voluntary practices is to allay fears that the government-run investments funds, which hold more than USD3 billion in assets, could carry a political agenda.

Both the IMF and the OECD rules of best practice have fostered confidence and lifted what had become "generalized suspicion" about sovereign wealth funds, Gurria said.

БЕРЛИН/БРЮССЕЛЬ (Рейтер) - Европейские страны объявили в понедельник о новых мерах для стабилизации финансового сектора и возвращения доверия на рынки, переживающие сильнейший за последние 80 лет кризис.

Канцлер Германии Ангела Меркель представила в понедельник вечером план, предусматривающий гарантии банкам на 400 миллиардов евро ($543,4 миллиарда) и 100 миллиардов евро на рекапитализацию банков из бюджетных средств.

Президент Франции Николя Саркози сообщил, что его страна предоставит гарантии банкам на 320 миллиардов евро и обеспечит рекапитализацию на 40 миллиардов евро.

Великобритания, наиболее ярый поборник свободного рынка в ЕС, решила предоставить 37 миллиардов фунтов ($64 миллиарда) из средств налогоплательщиков трем крупнейшим проблемным банкам - Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS и Lloyds TSB - и выкупить часть их акций в рамках плана по повышению капитализации банковского сектора.

Правительства Испании и Австрии объявили о схожих мерах поддержки банков и стабилизации финансового сектора, а Италии пообещала банкам "столько, сколько необходимо", однако воздержалась от конкретной цифры.

Рим пообещал гарантировать новые облигации банков сроком обращения до пяти лет по 31 декабря 2009 года, а также сообщил о снижении залогов при получении банком кредита. Банк Италии обменяет государственные облигации на долги банков на сумму до 40 миллиардов евро.

Голландское новостное агентство ANP сообщило, что правительство Нидерландов гарантирует банковские кредиты на сумму 200 миллиардов евро.

Тем временем Саркози, занимающий кресло президента Евросоюза, пригласил главу Европейского центрального банка Жан-Клода Трише выступить перед лидерами 27 стран блока на регулярном саммите в среду.

В приглашении, текст которого видел корреспондент Рейтер, говорится, что повестка дня саммита была изменена таким образом, чтобы уделить финансовому кризису как можно больше внимания.

В свою очередь, комиссар ЕС по вопросам конкуренции Нили Крёс опубликовала правила помощи банкам и призвала надзорные органы в течение 24 часов утверждать схемы, которые отвечают им.

Согласно этим правилам, государственная помощь банкам должна ограничиваться определенным периодом времени, не использоваться для расширения бизнеса или воплощения в жизнь агрессивных стратегий, а также не должна зависеть от страновой принадлежности того или иного банка.

MARKET SNAPSHOT: U.S. Stocks End Sharply Higher As Credit Markets Improve

By Kate Gibson


U.S. stocks rallied sharply into Monday's close, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 9,000 after signs emerged that the credit markets were thawing and Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke said he backed more fiscal stimulus.


On Capitol Hill, Bernanke told the House Budget Committee that "consideration of a fiscal package by the Congress at this juncture seems appropriate." .


The surge in stocks Monday added to big gains last week. Stock markets have been rising as investors assess government action to ease the credit crisis and as interbank lending rates have come down.


"Key indicators on the condition of the credit markets are ending the day positively with respect to their signaling continued thawing in the credit markets," said Tony Crescenzi, chief bond market strategist at Miller Tabak & Co.


"Conditions are far from perfect, but today's improvement was substantial," Crescenzi said.


Up more than 300 points in late afternoon trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) added another 100 points in the final 30 minutes of trade, gaining 413.21 points, or 4.7%, to finish at 9,265.43, the blue-chip index's first close above the 9,000 level since last Tuesday.


All of the Dow's 30 components ended in positive territory, with the gains led by oil giants Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and Chevron Corp. (CVX), up 10.2% and 11.6%, respectively.


Energy shares advanced along with oil, futures for which closed up $2.40, or 3.3%, at $74.25 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.


Also bolstering the Dow, shares of General Motors Corp. (GM) gained 1.7% amid varying reports on the status of prospective merger talks between the automaker and Chrysler.


GM and Chrysler are pushing for a deal before the Nov. 4 presidential election, the Detroit News reported. But another report from The Wall Street Journal said that talks are floundering because GM is unable to secure the financing necessary for a deal.


The cost of short-term loans fell, with the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, down sharply in a move economists say signals the money markets are slowly returning to normal. .


The S&P 500 Index (SPX) rose 44.85 points, or 4.8%, to 985.40 with energy, utilities and telecommunication services leading gains that included all of the index's 10 industry groups.


Standouts in the energy sector included National Oilwell Varco Inc. (NOV), up 22.2%, and El Paso Corp. (EP), ahead 15%.


The Nasdaq Composite Index (RIXF) gained 46.81 points, or 2.7%, to 1,758.1.


Shares of SanDisk Corp. (SNDK) fell 7.9% after the memory-chip maker said it would sell 30% of its manufacturing capacity to Toshiba Corp. .


Volume topped 1.2 billion on the New York Stock Exchange, and for every stock on the decline more than five were on the rise. On the Nasdaq, almost 870 million shares traded, and advancers topped decliners nearly 3 to 1.


"Look for the volatility to remain high as the markets adjust to a new owner. The good thing is this one comes with its own printing press. The bad news is that you and I are required to pay the mortgage," said Kevin Giddis, head of fixed income for Morgan Keegan & Co.


Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson discussed details of the government's program of buying passive-equity interests in leading U.S. banking institutions.


On the data front, the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators climbed 0.3% in September, its first gain since April. .


Active issues


Among companies reporting quarterly earnings, Hasbro Inc. (HAS) topped expectations, while rival toy maker Mattel Inc. (MAT) missed forecasts. .


Electricity generator Exelon Corp. (EXC) offered $6.2 billion in stock to buy NRG Energy Inc. (NRG) in a deal that would create the largest power company in the United States. .


U.S.-listed shares of Sweden's Ericsson (ERICY) rose as much as 20% after the world's largest maker of wireless networks posted a better third-quarter profit than expected, as sales surged and cost cuts started to bear fruit. .


On Friday, U.S. stocks slipped, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 127 points, the Nasdaq dropping 6 points and the S&P 500 losing 5 points.

CШA мoжeт пoтpeбoвaтьcя еще один план спасения экономики

ВАШИНГТОН (Рейтер) - США может потребоваться дополнительное вливание средств со стороны государства, поскольку темпы развития экономики находятся не на должном уровне, сообщил в своем выступлении перед Конгрессом глава Федеральной резервной системы (ФРС) Бен Бернанке.

"Принимая во внимание то, что экономика может оставаться слабой еще несколько кварталов, а также существующий риск длительного замедления, принятие Конгрессом плана помощи выглядит уместным", - сказал Бернанке.

В своем выступлении глава ФРС впервые открыто призывал к принятию второго пакета экономических стимулов. Летом правительство США потратило порядка $100 миллиардов для того, чтобы помочь экономике, однако уровень потребительских расходов с того момента значительно снизился. Объем розничных продаж, учитывая сентябрьские данные, снижается вот уже три месяца подряд.

"Я не могу указывать Конгрессу на конкретные цифры. Это вам решать. Считаю, что объем средств должен быть значительным. Цифру назвать не могу", - сказал Бернанке, отвечая на вопрос о предположительном размере вложений.

Бернанке призвал Конгресс повысить доступность кредитов, однако не уточнил, каким именно образом это может быть осуществлено.

Он также отметил, что шаги, предпринимаемые для размораживания кредитных рынков, уже дали некоторый положительный результат, однако наибольшее влияние на рынки они возымеют лишь через какое- то время.

"Стабилизация финансовой системы, пусть только первый шаг в этом направлении, не решат проблемы, с которыми столкнулась экономика, быстро", - сообщил глава ФРС.

Однако он поделился и своим мнением о текущем положении дел в экономике страны.

"Мы наблюдаем серьезный экономический спад, который оказывает влияние на общество, называть его рецессией или нет - не имеет значения", - отметил он.

елый дом немедленно отреагировал на предложение главы ФРС. Власти открыты новым идеям, включая возможное принятие второго пакета экономических стимулов. Однако, судьба такого решения будет зависеть от конкретных деталей плана, которые будут выработаны Конгрессом, сообщила представитель Белого дома Дана Перино.

Перино также отметила, что Буш, до этого негативно относившийся ко всем предложениям демократов относительно дальнейшей помощи экономике, теперь готов выслушать мнения всех экономических советников, ключевым среди которых будет мнение самого Бернанке.

Первый саммит по проблематике мирового финансового кризиса состоится 15 ноября в США

Прайм-ТАСС

Первый саммит по проблемам мирового финансового кризиса состоится 15 ноября в районе Вашингтона. Об этом сообщил сегодня представитель Белого дома. По его данным, в предстоящей серии встреч на высшем уровне в общей сложности примут участие лидеры 20 стран мира. На первом саммите будут рассматриваться причины возникновения мирового финансового кризиса.

Испания с большой озабоченностью восприняла заявление президента Франции Николя Саркози о том, что участниками предстоящего саммита по проблемам финансового кризиса станут страны «большой восьмерки» и несколько стран из числа наиболее быстро развивающихся экономик Азии, Африки и Латинской Америки. Председатель испанского правительства Хосе Луис Родригес Сапатеро немедленно связался с президентом Франции. «Николя Саркози заверил, что он разделяет мнение о целесообразности участия Испании в этом важнейшем международном форуме, хотя и указал на то, что не он устанавливает нормы функционирования «большой восьмерки», — отметил Сапатеро на выступлении в парламенте страны после состоявшейся беседы с французским президентом.

Сапатеро выразил уверенность, что Н.Саркози сможет положительно решить вопрос об участии Испании в предстоящей встрече на высшем уровне. Он также напомнил, что Испания является восьмой экономикой мира и не может остаться в стороне от обсуждения вопросов, связанных с реформой международной финансовой системы.

Банк Wachovia объявил об убытках в $23,9 млрд в III квартале

Прайм-ТАСС

Американский банк Wachovia объявил об убытках в III квартале 2008 г. — они составили $23,9 млрд. $18,7 млрд из этой суммы банк был вынужден списать в результате обесценивания своих активов и долговых бумаг. В целом, как следует из опубликованного в среду отчета Wachovia, его убытки за два последних квартала достигли $33 млрд.
