Sobre Thomson ReutersMoody's advierte que podría rebajar nota a 17 bancos globales
miércoles 15 de febrero de 2012 22:55 GYT
Imprimir[-] Texto [+] Por Ian Chua y Soyoung Kim
(Reuters) - Moody's advirtió el jueves que podría rebajar la calificación de crédito a 17 bancos mundiales y 114 instituciones financieras europeas, en otra señal de que el impacto de la crisis de deuda de los gobiernos de la zona euro se está propagando a través del sistema financiero global.

La agencia de calificaciones estadounidense dijo que su medida sobre las instituciones financieras de 16 países europeos refleja el impacto de la crisis de deuda y el empeoramiento de la solvencia de sus gobiernos.

Citó condiciones de financiamiento más frágiles, cargas normativas mayores y un ambiente económico más duro para su revisión de los bancos y firmas de valores con alcance mundial.

La medida de Moody's se da luego de que rebajó la calificación soberana de deuda de varios gobiernos Europeos, mientras los problemas de la zona euro para mantener a flote a Grecia han elevado los costos de endeudamiento y complicado las finanzas de otros países.

El lunes, Moody's recortó la calificación de seis países europeos, incluidos Italia, España y Portugal, y advirtió que podría rebajar la nota "AAA" de Francia, el Reino Unido y Austria.

El mes pasado, Standard & Poor's recortó las calificaciones de Francia y Austria y rebajó a otros siete países de la zona euro. También redujo la nota del fondo de rescate de la zona euro en un escalón.

Moody's dijo que está revisando las calificaciones a largo plazo y las evaluaciones de crédito independientes de Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley y Royal Bank of Canada.

Las calificaciones a largo plazo y la revisión de crédito independiente de los bancos europeos incluye a Barclays, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland y Societe Generale.

Moody's dijo que también amplió las revisiones calificaciones a largo plazo y evaluaciones de crédito independiente de Credit Suisse, Macquarie, Nomura y UBS.
"Las firmas de mercados de capitales están enfrentando desafíos en evolución, como condiciones de financiamiento más frágiles, spreads de crédito mayores, crecientes cargas normativas y condiciones de operación más difíciles", dijo Moody's en un comunicado.

Como resultado, las perspectivas de rentabilidad y crecimiento a largo plazo de las instituciones bajo revisión se ha visto afectada.

En su revisión a los bancos europeos, Moody's dijo que una vez que sea terminada, las calificaciones "reflejarán totalmente los factores adversos del crédito actualmente previstos".

Moody's revisa los ratings de BAC, C y Goldman, posible downgrade.

Moody's Places Big Banks' Ratings on Review

By DREW FITZGERALD And MATTHIAS RIEKER
NEW YORK—In the latest setback for investment banking, Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Bank of America Corp. , Citigroup Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and three other global financial institutions on review for possible downgrade because it says the business' profitability will be diminished longer term.

Moody's also said Wednesday it is reviewing J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Royal Bank of Canada for possible downgrade. Seven other financial firms' reviews were extended Wednesday as part of a separate ratings action on European banks, while four more had other negative reviews extended.

Revenue and profits from capital markets businesses, made up of securities trading and underwriting and financial advice to corporations about mergers and acquisitions, make up a big part of the overall earnings at Bank of America, Citi and J.P. Morgan, and are essentially the entire business of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

The ratings firm cites new economic and regulatory challenges that could dim the banks' future growth prospects. Capital markets firms are confronting "more fragile funding conditions, wider credit spreads, increased regulatory burdens and more difficult operating conditions," along with "inherent vulnerabilities" and "opacity of risk," the ratings firm said.

Moody's last year adjusted the ratings of big banks because it no longer believes banks would get the same help from governments that they did during the 2008 financial crisis if they got into trouble again.

Regulators, meanwhile, have curbed the investment banking business somewhat, particularly proprietary trading--a business where banks trade on their own account rather than for their customers. Also, investor concerns about the European debt crisis have damaged world-wide capital markets and dented profits from securities trading and underwriting in the second half of last year.

Moody's said it at first expected the banks' standalone credit profiles to recover after the acute phase of the 2008 financial crisis had passed, but it now sees those challenges as ongoing structural problems for global investment banks.

"Rapidly changing risk positions expose these firms to unexpected losses that can overwhelm the resources of even the largest, most diversified groups," Moody's wrote. "Such challenges caused several issuers to fail, or to avoid failure only upon the receipt of external support, during the 2008 financial crisis."

"Some of these risks have been partly mitigated...but they have not been eliminated," the ratings firm said.

Citigroup, for example, needed two capital infusions from the U.S. government after investor, and subsequently customer, confidence in the bank eroded following ongoing losses from securities stuck on Citi's balance sheet in late 2008. Citi ultimately required $45 billion and other government help to stabilize.

A spokesman for Citi said late Wednesday the bank has since "made significant progress" in restoring capital and liquidity. The bank's tier 1 common capital ratio, a critical regulatory measure of a bank's health, was a healthy 11.8% on Dec. 31, 2011. Credit quality continues to improve, "and Citi has appropriately sized exposure to Europe," the spokesman said.

Representatives for Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and J.P. Morgan declined to comment on Moody's review. But J.P. Morgan Chairman and Chief Executive Jamie Dimon told investors at a conference in December that investment banking is "still a great business." For "our customers—and this is true for Goldman's customers, and Morgan's, and Citi's, and everybody else—equity, debt, capital markets, balance-sheet management, advice around the world, is going to still be there in years.

"There's going to be huge growth over 10 or 15 years. It's a volatile business. I don't think you should look at the business and say, OK, that's permanent. It's not permanent."

Meanwhile, Moody's Investors Service placed various ratings of 114 financial institutions in 16 European countries on review for possible downgrade Thursday, highlighting the region's banks' vulnerability to the euro-zone sovereign debt crisis.

The institutions affected include Barclays, BNP Paribas, Commerzbank, Credit Agricole, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ING Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, Societe Generale and UniCredit.

Tomorrow’s Tape: Housing Starts, Jobless Claims, PPI

By Steven Russolillo
Economics/FedSpeak:

8:30 am ET: Housing starts for January. Economists expect housing starts rose 3.0% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 677,000. This would come after December’s showing of 657,000.
8:30 am: Building permits are seen edging up 1.3% to 680,000 in January from 671,000 a month earlier.
8:30 am: Jobless claims. Economists expect jobless claims ticked up to 365,000 from 358,000 in the prior week. This projected level is well below the key 400,000 threshold that often defines a strengthening labor market.
8:30 am: PPI. Producers prices are seen rising 0.4% in January after falling 0.1% in December. Core prices are expected to show a more muted 0.2% gain.
10:00 am: Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey. Following the Empire State survey, the Philly Fed index is expected to rise to 10.0 this month from 7.3 a month earlier.
Fed Chief Ben Bernanke is scheduled to speak at “The future of community banking” conference hosted by FDIC.
