Milan , August 30, 2015 – 18:13

     
     
 

VICENZA Revolution popular. Banca Popolare di Vicenza will go on the stock market through a real IPO. A choice of breaking with the past, projecting the Beric banking institution into a new dimension, that of finance to 360 degrees and open markets. It will be the market and not the board of directors to fix the price of the shares of Vicenza, already by the spring. This was announced in an interview the managing director Francesco Iorio, in office since June 1.
Iorio, we are the third capital increase in three years …
“It is a vital task for secure the future. We aim for a CET1 indicator to 12 percent, from the current 6.81 and so we want to collect up to a half billion. Up, because that is the maximum amount. “
At what price?
” There will be an increase in capital as the last. The share price will decide the market. We will make a real IPO ( initial public offering , initial public offering), and we are evaluating the option a book building ‘.
So no pre-defined price, no discount on the current 48 euro?
“No. The price will make the market and the value probably will be formed through a mechanism of book building . Who wants to make an offer to buy the shares. More will be high demand, the higher the price. “
Another surprise for members. How shall turn it digest?
“I think that would be a double error if there was an irrational reaction that would lead to yield the title at the worst time. I do see an opportunity in the price of the capital increase and we have to study the mechanisms of reward for older members …. “
What is the time?
” On paper we would like everything – the assembly for processing into spa, pricing and the increase, which will be contextual would end by the first quarter 2016. The day after the conclusion of the increase bank will be listed. “
is an operation new. But she, who has made him do leave Ubi?
“I am convinced it is better to be the first in a small village in Gaul that the second in Rome …”.
What he found when he arrived in Vicenza?
“I found the inspectors of the ECB which were concluding an inspection of four months, which highlighted the difficulties in the bank.”
The inspection revealed a shortage of capital?
“No. Given that we are still awaiting the final outcome, the inspection did not indicate a lack of capital in the technical sense, but the presence of loans related to the purchase of shares in the bank. Ie, lines of credit opened and used for the purchase of stocks “.
That is, the bank has financed those who underwrote shares of the bank itself?
” Yes. “
> How much is all of these operations?
“The total is just under one billion.”
A low blow …
“The good thing is that this heritage is a potential capital increase embedded in the bank. These trust granted to major customers, I expect that in time it is returned. At that point the capital returns eligible … ‘.
This billion is missing is the final figure will emerge or other?
“Basically it’s all”.
But it is the ECB that is too severe or past the Vicenza has lent money to those who did not deserve credit?
“The ECB is not severe. The ECB simply says, I rate you in two ways: the internal risk control, and here you have not been very good, and then the ability to generate income in the future. Then, seeing the loans, it was an ‘undercover’ than the market average. Today, however, we are only one percentage point below average in March was 5.5 percent. “
His relationship with President Gianni Zonin?
” With President and with the council, we provided a common path that will bring us together and shared certainly until spring. ”
And expectations aggregations?
“We are not in a position to make them. Strengthening is also designed to be able to allow the bank to negotiate at par any eventual merger plan. “
But just a year ago it was said that, concluded the increase in 2014, Banca Popolare di Vicenza was in conditions and not be subject aggregating aggregate …
“The facts show that those funds to the capital increase did not put the bank in a position to be aggregating center …”.
> He’s opening a hypothesis for future lonely?
“I’m opening in a case of strengthening that allows the bank to choose to be alone, if married and with whom.”
Do you think the small shareholder: when will it all end?
“If you are asking me when the title will return to 62.5 euro, I can not answer. But I am confident that next year this bank will return to profit and it is hoped that in the spring 2017 will pay the dividend. “

Liberal and conservative pressure on Yellen – Il Sole 24 Ore

JACKSON HOLE

The press conference is informal, on the lawn adjacent to the building that hosts the annual International Symposium of the Federal Reserve. But the Nobel Prize for Economics Joseph Stiglitz and the hundred representatives of liberal associations gathered here have a message they hope will be heard by central bankers yesterday gathered in the halls of the Jackson Lake Lodge. From the title of the initiative: Fed Up. A play on words, including the name of the Central Bank and the cry “we are fed up.” The request to the Fed, backed by a petition with 190 thousand signatures, is more precise than a tirade: that you do not raise interest rates because they are fed up with what is a recovery that, they say, still needs a lot of help. What remains uneven and marginalizes poor communities, the lower classes and middle, ethnic minorities. Flanked by another liberal economist, Brad DeLong, Stiglitz articulates the request: even modest narrow now threatening to do harm to the growth, exacerbated by tensions exploded markets. It hopes that the Fed adopt an inflation target much higher than 2% today, from 2% to 4%, to stimulate the growth, because today “there is no risk of hyperinflation and there are 11 million workers discouraged and stagnant wages. ” The ultra-accommodative Fed policy, therefore, is necessary and should rather be helped by strong stimulus on the fiscal front.

The initiative is not isolated. Has a counterpart: think tank Conservatives in turn organized a conference nearby to incite, by contrast, the Fed to change its policy soon. That accuse, dangerously distorts the free market and now only creates more financial imbalances. Rumors and controversy outside, if the Fed is not new, but this time also reflect an internecine battle. The Fed seemed ready to start a gradual normalization of monetary policy, but it is much less certain on when it really is time to snap. How really strong economic data – encouraging signs but not definitive arrived yesterday from GDP in the second quarter – and above all they can persist and weigh the volatility of financial markets and the shocks coming from the economy of China and the emerging countries.

The Symposium was to be a meeting without trauma. It is organized around an academic theme, albeit topical: the dynamics of inflation, so far disappointing for a healthy recovery. He must then serve to discuss a soft approach to the next narrow, it was in September or beyond. A choice in line with the new communication strategy of Janet Yellen: unlike predecessors Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan, who had used Jackson Hole to surprise investors anticipating future moves, Yellen choose to report the decisions, for transparency and clarity in the institutions. Hence his planned absence from Wyoming, along with other leading figures such as Daniel Tarullo (perhaps only half of the members of the FOMC will be in Jackson Hole).

The specter of a new crisis has instead given sudden urgency to positions around the Symposium to manage the new phase of uncertainty. There’s deputy Yellen, Stanley Fischer, and Esther George, the head of the office of Kansas City. Alongside European central bankers, Vitor Constancio to the ECB to Thomas Jordan of the National Bank of Switzerland and Mark Carney of the Bank of England, to the governors of the central institutions from Chile to India. Alongside academics and personalities, such as Jacob Frenkel, former governor of the Bank of Israel and chairman of JP Morgan Chase International.

The tone of urgency in tune statements surfaced yesterday in the words of Esther George, below whose auspices the Symposium takes place in the Teton national park: “When markets move must be especially careful, understand if it’s a sign of something deeper, or a form of adjustment. The events of the last week complicate the picture. But it is early to say that the change in a fundamental way. The standardization process, I believe, must begin as soon as possible. ” George pointed out that the Fed policy has influenced asset prices, and that some volatility was expected. A few hours before William Dudley of the New York office he had indicated that the reasons for a close in September are less solid, but had added auspicarla within the year. George and Dudley are two opposing camps within the Fed, hawks and doves. Their statements, however, are paradoxically similar. Both, like the entire symposium in Jackson Hole, must solve urgent dilemmas. Under the eyes of the markets, Stiglitz and 190 thousand signatories of its petition.
