Spain: Bfa-Bankia Group Restructuring, 2012, Lakshimi Swaminathan

Journal of Financial Crises

In 2010 and 2011, seven troubled savings banks (cajas) merged to form Banco Financiero y de Ahorros, S.A. (BFA), which the government capitalized with EUR 4.5 billion (USD 5.9 billion) in convertible securities, and BFA’s commercial banking subsidiary, Bankia (BFA, together with Bankia, was referred to as the BFA-Bankia Group). As a double-dip recession extended BFA-Bankia Group’s expected credit losses in Spain’s real estate market in 2012, third-party stress tests determined that the Group was deeply insolvent. On November 27, 2012, Fondo de Reestructuración Ordenada Bancaria (FROB), Spain’s newly established national resolution authority, and the Bank of Spain (BoS) approved …

Portugal: Banco Espírito Santo Restructuring, 2014, Salil Gupta

Journal of Financial Crises

Banco Espírito Santo (BES) was the second-largest private bank in Portugal in 2014, with assets of EUR 80 billion (USD 81 billion). A capital increase of EUR 1.1 billion to the BES was concluded on market terms in June 2014.

Luxembourg: Kaupthing Bank Luxembourg Restructuring, 2008, Ayodeji George Mar 2024

Luxembourg: Kaupthing Bank Luxembourg Restructuring, 2008, Ayodeji George

Journal of Financial Crises

The nationalization of Iceland’s Kaupthing Bank hf on October 9, 2008, caused a situation of cross-default and a depositor run at its subsidiary, Kaupthing Bank Luxembourg S.A. (KBL). A cross-default entitles creditors to request immediate execution of their claims. KBL responded on the same day by requesting and receiving a suspension of payments regime (including depositors) from a Luxembourg court, which also appointed administrators. The administrators placed KBL’s operations for sale later that month, receiving a bid from a private fund, Blackfish Capital, which crafted a restructuring plan that creditors approved on June 5, 2009. The restructuring plan, carried out …


Netherlands: Sns Reaal Restructuring, 2013, Ayodeji George Mar 2024

Netherlands: Sns Reaal Restructuring, 2013, Ayodeji George

Journal of Financial Crises

In February 2013, the Dutch minister of finance nationalized SNS Reaal, a financial conglomerate that was primarily composed of SNS Bank and Reaal Insurance, after the firm proved unable to remedy a large capital deficit caused by losses in the real estate portfolio of SNS Bank. Alongside the nationalization, the minister of finance announced a EUR 3.7 billion (USD 5 billion) rescue package that included a capital injection and significant restructuring. The goals of the restructuring plan were to isolate the real estate portfolio in a “bad bank” and to sell the insurance subsidiary. The state transferred shareholding responsibilities to …

Italy: Restructuring Of Four Banks, 2015, Salil Gupta

Journal of Financial Crises

The Italian government and Bank of Italy (BoI) presented a collective plan to resolve the crisis at four regional banks in Italy in November 2015, to safeguard the local economies in which these small and medium-size banks were located. The four banks had suffered from low or negative equity capital due to losses in loans to small and medium enterprises and retail clients and were placed under special administration between 2013 and 2015, with unsuccessful attempts to raise private capital. Italian regulators split each bank into a bridge or new bank, comprising all the good assets and liabilities of the …


Iceland: Landsbanki Restructuring, 2008, Ayodeji George Mar 2024

Iceland: Landsbanki Restructuring, 2008, Ayodeji George

Journal of Financial Crises

Iceland’s three largest banks—Landsbanki, Kaupthing, and Glitnir—grew rapidly in the 2000s and failed amid depositor runs when they lost access to foreign funding markets at the onset of the Global Financial Crisis. On October 6, 2008, the Icelandic Parliament passed the Emergency Act, and authorities quickly used their new powers to nationalize the three banks. The Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs (Ministry of Finance) created new versions of the three banks to hold the old banks’ performing domestic assets and all insured domestic deposits, and the prime minister assured all domestic depositors that they would be protected. Nonperforming domestic …


Hungary: Magyar Külkereskedelmi Bank Restructuring, 2014, Lakshimi Swaminathan Mar 2024

Hungary: Magyar Külkereskedelmi Bank Restructuring, 2014, Lakshimi Swaminathan

Journal of Financial Crises

In September 2014, the Hungarian state acquired Magyar Külkereskedelmi Bank (MKB), the country’s fifth-largest foreign-owned commercial bank, from Bayerische Landesbank (BayernLB) of Germany, at a depressed price. Before the sale, BayernLB recapitalized MKB by waiving its outstanding claims on the bank. The European Union had required BayernLB to sell MKB by the end of 2016 as a condition for its approval of the official support BayernLB received during the Global Financial Crisis of 2007–09. But the Hungarian central bank, Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB), remained concerned about the risk of further losses in MKB’s commercial and residential real estate loan portfolio. …


Greece: Ate Bank Restructuring, 2012, Stella Schaefer-Brown Mar 2024

Greece: Ate Bank Restructuring, 2012, Stella Schaefer-Brown

Journal of Financial Crises

The Agricultural Bank of Greece (ATE Bank) faced serious difficulties throughout 2008, 2009, and 2010. In 2011 and 2012, ATE Bank’s capital situation deteriorated further because of its exposure to the Greek sovereign debt crisis and the 50% haircut of privately held Greek bonds. In March 2012, the Bank of Greece conducted a viability assessment of ATE Bank and submitted a report to the Greek authorities recommending the resolution of ATE Bank through the purchase and assumption of specific assets and liabilities by another bank and the resolution of remaining nonperforming assets and liabilities through a bad bank. This assessment …


Greece: Piraeus Bank Restructuring, 2015, Stella Schaefer-Brown Mar 2024

Greece: Piraeus Bank Restructuring, 2015, Stella Schaefer-Brown

Journal of Financial Crises

In 2015, Greece began the open-bank recapitalization of Piraeus Bank (the Bank), which continued over an extended period. Concurrently, Greek authorities and Piraeus Bank formulated a restructuring plan. The restructuring and recapitalization of Piraeus Bank used funds that the European Stability Mechanism provided as part of the country’s third economic adjustment program since its sovereign debt crisis began in 2010. In October 2015, a supervisory asset quality review and stress test identified a capital shortfall of EUR 4.66 billion at Piraeus Bank due to Greek sovereign debt and other troubled credit exposures. The following month, the Bank raised EUR 1.94 …


Denmark: Roskilde Bank Restructuring, 2008, Bailey Decker Mar 2024

Denmark: Roskilde Bank Restructuring, 2008, Bailey Decker

Journal of Financial Crises

Roskilde Bank A/S was the eighth-largest bank in Denmark at the time of the Global Financial Crisis, with 43 billion Danish kroner (DKK; USD 9.1 billion) in consolidated assets as of March 2008. Roskilde had considerable exposure to real estate and construction markets, prompting ratings downgrades and larger write-downs than expected. On July 10, 2008, Roskilde asked for liquidity assistance from the Danish central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank (DNB). DNB and the banking sector group, Private Contingency Association (PCA), announced emergency liquidity assistance in the form of an unlimited credit facility to Roskilde on July 10, 2008, conditioned on Roskilde’s full …

Denmark: Andelskassen J.A.K. Slagelse Restructuring, 2015, Lakshimi Swaminathan

Journal of Financial Crises

Andelskassen J.A.K. Slagelse was a small Danish cooperative bank with fewer than 4,000 depositors in 2015. Late that year, owing to years of corporate misgovernance and concentrated exposures to large borrowers, Andelskassen found itself on the brink of insolvency. On October 5, 2015, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (DFSA) notified the country’s resolution authority, the Financial Stability Company (FSC), that Andelskassen could not meet its solvency requirement and that its resolution was in the public interest. Consequently, the FSC took over the bank, wrote down all relevant capital instruments to zero, imposed losses on uninsured depositors and other creditors, and …


Cyprus: Laiki Bank And Bank Of Cyprus Restructuring, 2013, Stella Schaefer-Brown Mar 2024

Cyprus: Laiki Bank And Bank Of Cyprus Restructuring, 2013, Stella Schaefer-Brown

Journal of Financial Crises

In 2011, Cyprus’s second-largest bank, Marfin Popular Bank—later renamed Cyprus Popular Bank but commonly known as Laiki Bank—lost billions of euros on Greek government securities when the European Union decided to haircut Greek government bonds. This damaged Laiki Bank’s equity and shut its access to market liquidity. In late 2011, supervisors estimated the bank’s capital shortfall at EUR 3.1 billion. As Laiki Bank faced severe liquidity problems from depositor withdrawals, the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) began to extend emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) to the bank in October 2011. In January 2012, the bank submitted a recovery plan to the …


Belgium: Fortis Group Restructuring, 2008, Ayodeji George Mar 2024

Belgium: Fortis Group Restructuring, 2008, Ayodeji George

Journal of Financial Crises

Fortis Group, a financial conglomerate with subsidiaries in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, faced share price deterioration and a depositor run as the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) intensified in September 2008. On September 29, the three governments announced a EUR 11.2 billion bailout package that would allow the Fortis Group to continue operating with recapitalized subsidiaries. As part of that deal, Belgium contributed a EUR 4.7 billion capital injection to the Belgian subsidiary, Fortis Bank Belgium (FBB), which held both the group’s Belgian bank and its main Dutch and Luxembourgish banking activities. However, the cross-border cooperation fractured after the failure …

Belgium, France, Luxembourg: Dexia Group Restructuring, 2011, Ayodeji George

Journal of Financial Crises

Dexia Group (Dexia, or the Group), a banking and insurance conglomerate, was the world’s largest municipal lender in 2008, with major operations in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg. Heavy exposure to the US housing market at the onset of the Global Financial Crisis caused EUR 3.3 billion in losses, and Dexia faced runs from Belgian and Luxembourgish depositors in late September 2008. On September 30, 2008, authorities announced a EUR 6.4 billion (eventually EUR 6 billion) public and quasi-private capital injection for Dexia to remain adequately capitalized amid market distress.

Austria: Heta Asset Resolution Restructuring, 2015, Bailey Decker, Eming Shyu

Journal of Financial Crises

Hypo Alpe Adria (HAA) was Austria’s sixth-largest bank by assets at the time of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2007–2009. HAA pursued a growth strategy in southeastern Europe in the years preceding the GFC—emboldened by a liability guarantee from the Austrian state of Carinthia—which proved troublesome for HAA’s loan portfolio and led to large write-downs in autumn 2008. From December 2008 to April 2014, Austria provided EUR 5.8 billion in total capital injections—during which time the government nationalized HAA. Per European Commission (EC) authorization of State Aid, Austria had to submit a restructuring plan, which the EC approved in …

Survey Of Resolution And Restructuring In Europe: Pre- And Post-Brrd, Christian M. Mcnamara, Carey K. Mott, Salil Gupta, Greg Feldberg, Andrew Metrick

Journal of Financial Crises

This paper surveys 19 case studies of bank resolutions and restructurings across 15 Key Design Decisions. It focuses on interventions that occurred in Europe both in the years leading up to the adoption of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) in 2014 (when many jurisdictions were constrained by a lack of legal authority) and in the years after the BRRD was in place. The main themes that emerge are: (a) the need for resolution and restructuring to eliminate uncertainty about an institution’s solvency by closing it, recapitalizing it, or merging it with a healthier institution; (b) the importance of …
