A highly indebted economy… not all real estate

•Spain has had high investment rates for the last 10 years. It was not exclusively housing, e.g. investment in equipment was larger •The large immigration flow (+4 millions between 2000 and 2007) spurred a rise in capital expenditure to maintain the capital-per-worker ratio.

The financial crisis has transformed the way the balance of payments is financed (from portfolio investment-i.e. mortgage-backed securities-to short term financing ECB) The external financing need of the Spanish economy was 9,1% of GDP in 2008, the first decline in 5 years

The Spanish banking model at a glance

OFICINA ECONÓMICA DEL PRESIDENTE

A balanced mix of tradition and innovation • A business model focused on long-term customer-bank relationship:  The emphasis is on the customer as opposed to the product. 54 % of bank assets are credits, while they only account for 30% of assets in the EMU.  The core-business hinges on recurrent operations and multi-product services. Thus: originate-to-hold rather than originate-to-distribute.  Borrowers`risk assessment and monitoring are of greater relevance in an originate-to-hold framework.

The Spanish banking model at a glance

The Spanish banking sector is highly competitive:  Real lending spread (defined as the difference between real lending rates and real deposit rates) well below the EU average.  Concentration, (as measured by the Herfindhal index: the sum of the square of the market shares), is also far below the average for EMU countries.

The Spanish banking model at a glance

Securitisation in the Spanish banking model is used mainly for funding as opposed to risk-transfer purposes. Since 2003, deposit growth has been lower than credit growth, causing a growing funding gap. This gap reached 14% of total credit by the end of 2008, while in 2003 it was 9%. The outstanding value of securitization instruments and bonds issued by the Spanish financial system (with data up to the third quarter of 2008) was about 480.000 million € Issuance of structured securities

The Spanish banking model at a glance

 The main vulnerabilities of the Spanish financial system in this crisis are: i) high exposure to the housing sector, which is not experiencing a soft landing … ii) The growing financing gap of the Spanish banking sector and the difficulties to refinance debt in dried-up wholesale funding markets. However, these weaknesses have been dealt with succesfully thanks to the ECB´s unconventional measures and the prevalence of long term debt

Spain is one of the countries that have made a greater fiscal effort, as compared to the other main developed economies and to other EU countries. Also, according to the OECD, Spain was the third developed country to implement a stimulus package. The measures included in Plan E could contribute 1% GDP Growth in 2009.

OFICINA ECONÓMICA DEL PRESIDENTE

The policy response: Fiscal policies aimed at supporting employment and output and resuming credit to the economy

This stimulus, named Plan E, uses both the revenue side and the expenditure side in order to create a fiscal mix to foster the economic activity. In the revenue side, which amount 2/3 of the total amount, include tax cut in PIT (Personal Income Tax), CIT (Corporate Income Tax) VAT and the elimination of the wealth tax. In the expenditure side is included an ambitious investment plan of 0.8 GDP points, and an industrial fund of 0.3 GDP, to foster the new economic model, including R&D.

• Rigorous fiscal policy before the crisis: three years of surplus • Debt/GDP ratio among the lowest in advanced economies. • Countercyclical policies over the recession will only have a limited impact on the ratio. As a result, the expected debt/GDP ratio in 2010 remains well below EU average.

In the first quarter of 2009, Spanish employment has decreased -6,4% compared with the same quarter of 2008, while it Italy it has decreased only -0,9%. 17
