US kopierar svenska bankakuten?
| I support Nouriel Roubini's call to nationalize troubled banks, following the precedent of the successful rescue of Swedish banks in the 1990s. Nationalization is a temporary step, allowing greater control over insolvent and under-capitalized banks currently supported by the taxpayer. Vulnerable mega-banks could be split into smaller regional or niche market players, each separately privatized. That would solve the current "elephant in a lifeboat" dilemna facing regulators: too-big-to-fail banks such as BofA and JPMorgan have grown even larger through acquisition of weaker rivals (Bear Stearns, WaMu, Countrywide and Merrill), but remain vulnerable. |
| Temporary nationalization would clear the uncertainty hanging over the financial sector, but it is essential that we do not solve one problem only to create another. Nationalized banks must not be used for political purposes: lending at low margins or assuming greater risk in order to "stimulate" the economy would only cause further harm. Also, bond-holders in insolvent banks should take a "haircut". That would send a clear message that taxpayer funds will no longer be used to benefit private investors. |
