FRANCFORT, 7 mayo (Reuters) – Los bancos alemanes poseen m ¡s
de 600.000 millones de euros en activos no deseados, lo que
remarca la magnitud del desaf -o de reestructuraci ‘n para el
sector financiero del pa -s casi cinco a +/-os despu (c)s del derrumbe
de Lehman Brothers.
Seg ?n c ¡lculos de Reuters basados en los informes anuales de
los principales bancos alemanes, las entidades de pr (c)stamo
buscan deshacerse de unos 637.000 millones de euros (833.000
millones de d ‘lares) en activos que incluyen bienes ra -ces y
prestamos navieros adem ¡s de deuda p ?blica.
La suma equivale a la producci ‘n econ ‘mica anual de Holanda.
Entre las instituciones con los activos menos “esenciales”
est ¡n las m ¡s golpeadas por la crisis financiera global en
Alemania, lideradas por los bancos rescatados Hypo Real Estate
, WestLB y Commerzbank.
La monta +/-a de tenencias no deseadas ha aumentado desde que
los reguladores globales forzaron a los bancos a disponer de m ¡s
capital para activos riesgosos, una regla que ha obligado a
muchos a reducir sus balances en forma radical.
Los activos que no han podido vender inmediatamente han sido
dispuestos en unidades bancarias “no esenciales”, que seg ?n
advertencias de expertos podr -an permanecer durante d (c)cadas.
