欧洲央行(ECB)单一监管机制(SSM)主席达妮埃莱•努伊(Danièle Nouy)预测,打击各国资本金规定特例意味着,欧元区一些最大银行将需要筹集更多股本。
Some of the eurozone’s biggest banks will need to raise more equity because of a clampdown on national exceptions to capital rules, the eurozone’s chief banking supervisor has forecast.
努伊告诉英国《金融时报》,欧元区银行将不得不筹集更多且质量更佳的资本金,因为她所在的新设机构正计划协调各国在资本金规定方面的150多项差异。她补充称,还可能需要欧盟颁布新的立法。
Danièle Nouy told the Financial Times that banks would have to raise more and better quality capital as a result of her new agency’s drive to harmonise more than 150 national variances in capital rules. Fresh legislation from Brussels is likely to also be needed, she added.
努伊周二在接受采访时表示:“一些银行将不得不获得更多资本金。”努伊曾担任法国央行官员,去年被任命为欧洲央行单一监管机制主席。
“Some banks still have to get more capital,” Ms Nouy, a former French central banker appointed last year to head the European Central Bank’s Single Supervisory Mechanism, said in an interview on Tuesday.
“这在更大程度上与(资本)多少无关,而是在于资本的定义。我认为,在资本的定义上,欧洲各国有着太多的选择,我们必须解决这个问题……我们可能必须诉诸立法,提请欧洲议会出台更加统一的法规。”
“It’s not so much about how much [capital] it’s about the definition of capital. There are too many, in my view, national options in the definition of capital in Europe and we have to address that. [ . . .] We may have to go to the legislature, to the European Parliament, to ask for more harmonisation in regulation.”
在她发表这番言论之前,今年早些时候,欧元区银行进行了筹资活动。今年1月,桑坦德银行(Banco Santander)通过隔夜售股筹资70亿欧元;银行业人士表示,这在一定程度上就是为了应对单一监管机制提出的增加资本金的要求,尽管这家西班牙银行否认这点。
Her comments follow capital-raisings by eurozone banks earlier this year. Banco Santander raised 7bn in an overnight share sale in January, which bankers said was in part to cope with increased capital demands from the SSM, although the Spanish bank denied this.
单一监管机制最近向欧元区银行提出了最新的资本金目标,该机构呼吁这些银行根据去年欧洲央行的压力测试和资产质量评估结果增强其资产负债表。
Eurozone banks have recently been given updated capital targets by the SSM, which call for them to strengthen their balance sheets based on the results of last year’s ECB stress tests and asset quality review.
