Sovereign Debt Crisis and Banks
Channels through which Sovereign Crisis is affecting European Banks Banks´ sizable sovereign exposures as a potential contagion channel
Negative spillover via valuation losses on sovereign holdings impair banks ability to obtain secured lendingRestricting lending may cause further negative circular feedback effects
19. April 2023 7IMF “Global Financial Stability Assessment”, April 2012
Faced with the unfolding Sovereign Debt Crisis the policy responded with unprecedented actions aimed at bringing much-needed relief:
1. Establish credible firewall, i.e. European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF)
2. Provide the extraordinary European Central Bank (ECB) facility (3Y)
3. Implement the EBA Third Stress Test recommendations aimed at strengthening capital basis:
Increase capital - Core Tier One Ratio (CR1) to reach a level of 9% by the end of June 2012, pre-drawing the requirements of Basel III “game changer”
Improve capital and liquidity ratios
EBA Third Stress Test key findings:
Equity shortfall i.a. Commerzbank, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank, NordLB, DNB NOR, most of the Greek banks, UniCredit and three other Italian Banks
USD funding identified as the predominant weakness of European banks

What Does it Mean For Shipping?

Ship Finance becomes a rare commodity (ii)
19. April 2023 14* USD 51bn debt on average needed over the next three years, see: The Funding Gap: Myth or Reality? Andrew Hampson, Tufton Oceanic at the Marine Money London, 26th January 2012; Petrofin: Bank Research November 2011, Greek Ship Finance April 2012
How much funds are really needed as NB orders are going down (in various segments one digit already) and asset prices seem to be at the rock bottom levels?*
Will there be enough money for shipping?
Petrofin Research (40 global ship finance banks representing USD 461bn out of a total global ship finance estimate of USD 500bn analysed over the period of 2009-2011):
• with neutral policy
• unclear policy, and
• those with lending capacity
Results: there are (still) 30% of banks with lending capacity (admittedly down from stable 45% over the last three years)
Petrofin on Greek Ship Finance
• Nine banks with double digit growth rates (i.a. ABN Amro, ING, DVB, Citi, Exim)
• Several new banks in Greek Shipping (i.a. Commenwealth Bank Australia, Standard Chartered, Danish Ship Finance, Fokus, SEB)
Outlook: Is all this that gloomy?

Bank Lending to Shipping: Top 40 banks total Volume USD 461,19bn (449,76bn, 2010)
19. April 2023 16FußzeileLloyds List, Tradewinds, Marine Money
1. Despite poor 1Q 2012 results funding provided to shipping/offshore was not all that bad..
2. NOK Bond markets is booming – 22 bond deals in shipping and offshore during 1Q/2012 aggregating NOK 13.2bn (USD 2.3bn). Margins for top borrowers in the range of 400-500 bps on a unsecured non-amortizing basis vs. current bank spreads seem to be an attractive funding source
3. Several banks have announced their budgets / confirmed their commitment (given the limited needs in terms of genuine new business and the decreased values could be sufficient to keep system alive and help to reestablish a new equilibrium)
4. Among those who recently confirmed their commitment and demonstrated availability of lending capacity to the industry: i.a. DVB, Standard Chartered, ABN Amro, Deutsche Bank, Citi, KfW, HSH Nordbank and last but not least the Dealogic League Tables stalwarts - the Nordic banks
Outlook: Is all this that gloomy (iii)?
