"Nous soutenons pleinement la décision de l'Espagne de ne pas demander de nouvelle aide financière au MES après la sortie de son programme d'aide en janvier 2014", écrivent les ministres dans un communiqué publié à l'issue de leur réunion à Bruxelles.
L'aide fournie par le MES, le filet de sécurité de la zone euro, "s'est avérée efficace pour traiter les fragilités du système financier (espagnol). La situation générale du secteur bancaire espagnol s'est significativement améliorée", note encore le communiqué.
La quatrième économie de la zone euro avait été frappée doublement en 2008 par l'éclatement de sa bulle immobilière et le démarrage de la crise financière internationale. Le pays s'était vu octroyer au printemps 2012 une aide de 41,3 milliards d'euros par la zone euro.
Cette annonce coïncide avec celle du gouvernement irlandais, qui a indiqué jeudi qu'il quitterait comme prévu le programme d'aide de l'Union européenne et du Fonds monétaire international (FMI) le 15 décembre "sans facilité de crédit de précaution pré-arrangée".
"Les Irlandais et les Espagnols sont passé par une période difficile, mais j'ai confiance dans le fait que leurs efforts seront payants", a commenté au cours d'une conférence de presse le ministre néerlandais des Finances, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, qui préside l'Eurogroupe, et qui a "félicité les deux pays en ce moment important".
- Le ministre espagnol des Finances, Luis De Guindos, a souligné que la situation de l'Espagne était "très différente" de celle de l'Irlande car Madrid a continué de se financer sur les marchés pendant la période où elle a bénéficié d'une aide.

Euro Crisis Reprieve: End to Bailout Programs Signals Recovery...
ReplyDeleteSome four years after the euro crisis began, Ireland and Spain are set to graduate from their bailout programs, with Dublin planning to begin financing itself again early next year. It's a positive sign, but economists warn against premature optimism.
The summer of 2012 was horrific for Europe. The euro zone seemed on the verge of collapse, investors were reluctant to lend money to debt-burdened countries and interest on Spanish and Italian bonds breached the psychologically critical 7-percent mark. A €100-billion ($135-billion) emergency loan package to Spanish banks hardly calmed the tension. And things looked even worse for Greece, which seemed incapable of fulfilling the demands of its creditors. German Economy Minister Philipp Rösler voiced the idea throwing Greece out of the euro zone, but not even Germany was immune to the chaos after Moody's threatened to downgrade the country's top credit rating because of a potential spill-over effect.
That was all about 16 months ago, and the euro zone now appears to be in much better health. Finance ministers from the 17 countries that use the common currency met in Brussels on Thursday to discuss releasing Ireland and Spain from their respective bailouts.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny had announced before the meeting that his country would begin raising its own money and financing itself again by late January or early February. It even passed on a just-in-case emergency credit line offered by European partners. In 2010 Ireland had accepted a €67.5-billion line of emergency credit from the European Union and International Monetary Fund after interest rates on the open market became unsustainable......http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/end-of-bailout-programs-in-spain-and-ireland-signals-euro-crisis-recovery-a-933650.html

Ireland exits from IMF-EU bailout programme ....
ReplyDeleteIrish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has officially announced the withdrawal of his country from the anti-crisis programme of the European Union and the IMF.
According to him, in 2010 due to a huge budget deficit and chaos in the banking sector the government was forced to appeal to the international creditors for an 85 billion euros three year EU-IMF bailout, promising them to take serious measures to reduce government spending. Now the country’s exports and GDP are rising again. Ireland became the first country to announce recession and a large-scale banking crisis. Now it is also become the first to come out of the financial aid programme.
