الأزمة المالية العالمية 2008

مفتاح الألوان:
  دول في ركود في ديسمبر 2008
  دول تأثرت بشدة

الأزمة المالية العالمية 2008, وتعرف أيضا بإنهيار سوق الأوراق المالية 2008, وهي أزمة مالية كبيرة, وتعتبر الأسوء من نوعها منذ أزمة الكساد الكبير,[1] والتي لا تزال مستمرة إلى ديسمبر 2008. وقد بدأت في الظهور في شهر سبتمبر 2008 بإنهيار, وتعثر عدد كبير من شركات مقرها الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. والأسباب الكامنة التي أدت إلى هذه الأزمة قد تم الإعلان عنها في مجلات أعمال من عدة شهور قبل شهر سبتمبر, مع التركيز على البنوك الإستثمارية الرائدة وشركات التأمين وبنوك الرهن العقاري بالولايات المتحدة واوروبا, وتاثرها بأزمة الرهن العقاري.[2][1][3][4]

وبدأت الأزمة المالية العالمية بتعثر مؤسسات مالية كبيرة في الولايات المتحدة, وسرعان ما تفاقمت لتصبح أزمة عالمية أدت لإنهيار الكثير من البنوك الاوروبية وإنخفاض في مؤشر البورصة, وإنخفاض كبير في القيمة الشرائية للأسهم [5] والسلع في جميع أنحاء العالم.[2] وأدت الأزمة إلى مشكلة في السيولة و التمويل المالي لمؤسسات عديدة خاصة في الولايات المتحدة واوروبا, الأمر الذي أدى بها إلى مواجهة أزمة السيولة. وقام القادة السياسيون ووزراء المالية القومية ومديري البنوك المركزية بالتعاون من أجل التخفيف من وطأة الأزمة المالية لكن الأزمة لازالت مستمرة, وتفاقمت في اكتوبر 2008, ليمتد تأثيرها مسببة أزمة العملات واسعة النطاق على موارد المؤسسات الاستثمارية العالمية وعلى عملات قوية مثل الين والدولار والفرانك السويسري, وأدى لذلك لبعض الإقتصاديات الناشئة بطلب المساعدات من صندوق النقد الدولي.[6][7] وقد ظهرت الأزمة المالية العالمية بسبب أزمة الرهن العقاري وتشكل المرحلة الحادة من الأزمة المالية 2007-2008.

برنامج إغاثة الأصول المتعثرة

في 19 سبتمبر 2008, a plan intended to ameliorate the difficulties caused by the subprime mortgage crisis was proposed by the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson. He proposed a Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), later incorporated into the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, which would permit for the United States government to purchase illiquid assets, also termed toxic assets, from financial institutions.[9][10] The value of the securities is extremely difficult to determine.[11]

المشاورات بين وزير الخزانة ورئيس الاحتياط الفدرالي ورئيس لجنة السندات والتبادل الأمريكية وزعماء الكونگرس ورئيس الولايات المتحدة قدَّمت خططاً لتقديم حلاً شاملاً للمشاكل الناجمة عن عدم سيولة السندات المدعومة بالرهن العقاري. At the close of the week the Secretary of the Treasury and President Bush announced a proposal for the federal government to buy up to US$700 billion of illiquid mortgage backed securities with the intent to increase the liquidity of the secondary mortgage markets and reduce potential losses encountered by financial institutions owning the securities. The draft proposal of the plan was received favorably by investors in the stock market. Details of the bailout remained to be acted upon by Congress.[12][13][14][15]

أسبوع 21 سبتمبر, 2008

يوم الأحد 21 سبتمبر, تحول إثنان من البنوك الإستثمارية الباقية, گولدمان ساكس و مورجان ستانلي , بموافقة نظام الإحتياط الفدرالي إلى شركات صرافة قابضة, كحالة منظمة أكثر, ولكن مع إستعداد أكبر للوصول لرأس المال.[16] في 21 سبتمبر, أعلن سكرتير وزارة الخزانة الأمريكية هنري پولسون أن الإقتراح الأصلي، والذي يستبعد البنوك الأجنبية,قد إتسع ليشمل المؤسسات البنكية التي توجد في الولايات المتحدة. وكانت الإدارة الأمريكية تضغط على الدول الأخرى لوضع خطط إصلاح مشابهة.[17] في يومي الإثنين والثلاثاء خلال أسبوع 22 سبتمبر, ظهرت الرؤية عن طريق وزير الخزانة ورئيس مجلس إدارة نظام الإحتياط الفدرالي قبل إجتماع الكونجرس وفي يوم الأربعاء كان إلقاء الكلمة من رئيس الولايات المتحدة على شاشات التلفزيون.

On Monday and Tuesday during the week of September 22, appearances were made by by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve before Congressional committees and on Wednesday a prime time presidential address was delivered by the President of the United States on television. Behind the scenes, negotiations were held refining the proposal which had grown to 42 pages from its original 3 and was reported to include both an oversight structure and limitations on executive salaries, with other provisions under consideration. On September 25, agreement was reported by congressional leaders on the basics of the package;[18] however, general and vocal opposition to the proposal was voiced by the public.[19] On Thursday afternoon at a White House meeting attended by congressional leaders and the presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, it became clear that there was no congressional consensus, with Republican representatives and the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, ريتشارد شلبي, strongly opposing the proposal.[20] The alternative advanced by conservative House Republicans was to create a system of mortgage insurance funded by fees on those holding mortgages; as the working week ended, negotiations continued on the plan, which had grown to 102 pages and included mortgage insurance as an option.[21][22][23] On Thursday evening Washington Mutual, the nation's largest savings and loan, was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and most of its assets transferred to JPMorgan Chase.[24] واكوڤيا, one of the largest US banks, was reported to be in negotiations with Citigroup and other financial institutions.[25]

Fortis, a huge Benelux banking and finance company was partially nationalized on September 28, 2008, with Belgium, هولندا and Luxembourg investing a total of €11.2 billion (US$16.3 billion) in the bank.

Stocks fell dramatically Monday in Europe and the US despite infusion of funds into the market for short term credit.[34][35] In the US the Dow dropped 777 points (6.98%), the largest one-day point-drop in history (but only the 17th largest percentage drop).[36]

The U.S. bailout plan, now named the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and expanded to 110 pages was slated for consideration in the House of Representatives on Monday, September 29 as HR 3997 and in the Senate later in the week.[37][38] The plan failed after the vote being held open for 40 minutes in the House of Representatives, 205 for the plan, 228 against.[39][40] Meanwhile US stock markets suffered steep declines, the Dow losing 300 points in a matter of minutes, ending down 777.68, the Nasdaq losing 199.61, falling below the 2000 point mark, and the S.&P. 500 off 8.77% for the day.[41] By the end of the day, the Dow suffered the largest drop in the history of the index.[42] The S&P 500 Banking Index fell 14% on September 29 with drops in the stock value of a number of US banks generally considered sound, including Bank of New York Mellon, State Street and Northern Trust; three Ohio banks, National City, Fifth Third, and KeyBank were down dramatically.[43][44]

On Tuesday, September 30, stocks rebounded but credit markets remained tight with the London Interbank Offered Rate (overnight dollar Libor) rising 4.7% to 6.88%.[45]

On Tuesday, September 30, 9 billion was made available by the French, Belgian and Luxembourg governments to the French-Belgian bank Dexia.[46]

After Irish banks came under pressure on Monday, September 29, the Irish government undertook a two year "guarantee arrangement to safeguard all deposits (retail, commercial, institutional and inter-bank), covered bonds, senior debt and dated subordinated debt (lower tier II)" of 6 Irish banks: Allied Irish Banks, Bank of Ireland, Anglo Irish Bank, Irish Life and Permanent, Irish Nationwide and the EBS Building Society; the potential liability involved is about 400 billion dollars.[47]

The United States Senate's version of the $700 billion bailout plan, HR1424, modified to expand bank deposit guarantees to $250,000 and to include $100 billion in tax breaks for businesses and alternative energy, passed with bi-partisan support 74-25 on October 1st.[48] Reaction in the House was mixed,[49][50] but in a vote on Friday the House of Representatives passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as refashioned by the Senate, 263-171 in a bipartisan vote.[51]

مؤشرات المخاطر الرئيسية في سبتمبر 2008

The TED spread – an indicator of credit risk – increased dramatically during September 2008.

Key risk indicators became highly volatile during September 2008, a factor leading the U.S. government to pass the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The “TED spread” is a measure of credit risk for inter-bank lending. It is the difference between: 1) the risk-free three-month U.S. treasury bill rate; and 2) the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which represents the rate at which banks typically lend to each other. A higher spread indicates banks perceive each other as riskier counterparties. The t-bill is considered "risk-free" because the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is behind it; theoretically, the government could just print money so that the principal is fully repaid at maturity. The TED spread reached record levels in late September 2008. The diagram indicates that the Treasury yield movement was a more significant driver than the changes in LIBOR. A three month t-bill yield so close to zero means that people are willing to forgo interest just to keep their money (principal) safe for three months – a very high level of risk aversion and indicative of tight lending conditions. Driving this change were investors shifting funds from money market funds (generally considered nearly risk free but paying a slightly higher rate of return than t-bills) and other investment types to t-bills.[58] These issues are consistent with the September 2008 aspects of the subprime mortgage crisis which prompted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 signed into law by the U.S. President on October 2, 2008.

In addition, an increase in LIBOR means that financial instruments with variable interest terms are increasingly expensive. For example, car loans and credit card interest rates are often tied to LIBOR; some estimate as much as $150 trillion in loans and derivatives are tied to LIBOR.[59] Furthermore, the basis swap between one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR increased from 30 basis points in the beginning of September to a high of over 100 basis points. Financial institutions with liability exposure to 1 month LIBOR but funding from 3 month LIBOR faced increased funding costs. Durvexity spiked as markets rapidly deteriorated. Overall, higher interest rates place additional downward pressure on consumption, increasing the risk of recession.

This was also denied by Russian Deputy Finance Minister Dmitry Pankin. Late in the evening, however, Russia's Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin did concede that a request had been received, to which Russia was positive, and that discussions on financial matters would be conducted later in the week when an Icelandic delegation was expected to arrive in Moscow.[78] Standard & Poor's also cut Iceland's foreign-currency sovereign credit rating from A-/A-2 to BBB/A-3 and local-currency sovereign credit rating from A+/A-1 to BBB+/A-2.

The government of Britain announced on the morning of Wednesday, October 8 that it would make £25 billion available as "Tier 1 capital" (preference share capital or "PIBS" [Permanent Interest-Bearing Securities]) to the following financial institutions: Abbey, Barclays, HBOS, HSBC Bank plc, Lloyds TSB, Nationwide Building Society, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Standard Chartered as part of a bank rescue package.

On Thursday, October 9, the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority took control of the country's biggest bank Kaupþing banki hf..[94][95][96] This occurred when the Kaupthing Board resigned and asked the national authorities to take control. This came about when "Britain transferred control of the business of Kaupthing Edge, its Internet bank, to ING Direct and put Kaupthing's UK operations into administration" placing Kaupthing in technical default according to loan agreements.[97] This marked an escalating row between Iceland and the المملكة المتحدة over the growing crisis. All trade was also suspended on the Iceland Stock Exchange until Monday October 13.[98]

On Thursday, October 9, the one-year anniversary of the Dow's peak, the cost of short term credit rose while there were heavy losses in the United States stock market; the Dow dropped below 8600, reaching a five year low.

Beset by falling commodities prices, Russia's stock markets remained closed on October 10. The Russian Parliament passed a plan authorizing lending of $36 billion gained from global oil sales to banks which met creditworthiness requirements. Special attention is being paid to shoring up Rosselkhozbank, the bank which provides credit to the reviving agricultural sector. The amount of funds available is limited due to falling oil prices.[101][102] The government of the United States, as authorized by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, announced plans to infuse funds into banks by purchasing equity interests in them, in effect, partial nationalization, as done in Britain. The Treasury secretary Henry M.

The bonds of the bankrupt Lehman Brothers were auctioned on Friday, October 10. They sold for a little over 8 cents on the dollar. Many of the bonds of Lehman Brothers were insured with credit default swaps. Apprehension that payments to the holders of Lehman bonds might severely damage the firms or hedge funds which issued the swaps proved unfounded, despite anticipated claims estimated to be several hundred billion dollars, as countervailing claims canceled each other out resulting in only 5.2 billion dollars changing hands.[108][109][110]

As meetings proceeded with global financial leaders in Washington on Saturday, October 11, the United States government announced a change in emphasis in its rescue efforts from buying illiquid assets to recapitalizing banks, including strong banks, in exchange for preferred equity; and purchase of mortgages by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These remedies can be put into effect quicker than the prior plan which was estimated to take a month to set into operation.[111]

أسبوع 12 اكتوبر

On Sunday the British government was in negotiations with Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS, Lloyds TSB and Barclays, major British banks, regarding recapitalization which would give the British government a substantial equity interest. An investment of more than 37 billion pounds is contemplated. Some purchases would be common stock with existing shareholders given a right of first refusal (the government would only purchase the shares if existing shareholders did not). Previously announced recapitalization plans contemplated only purchases of preferred equity without government participation in governance of the banks, however, as the financial emergency has rapidly developed, more aggressive measures are being advanced.[112] On Sunday, October 12, European leaders, meeting in Paris, led by France and Germany, announced recapitalization plans for Europe's banks. Plans were announced to guarantee bank deposits for five years. European countries would finance their own rescue plans and tailor them to local conditions. Mechanisms are also planned to increase the availability of short term credit. The total rescue plan totaled €1 trillion. Australia and New Zealand also announced bank guarantee plans. On Monday, October 13, the markets were closed in Japan and the bond market was closed in the United States.[113][114]

On Sunday, in Norway, which is not in the euro zone, the Norwegian cabinet in a hastily called press conference announced a US$57.4 billion (350 billion Norwegian kroner) plan of offering Norwegian banks new government bonds. This came three days ahead of Wednesday's hastened interest rate meeting at Norges Bank to decide whether or not to announce rate cuts similar to the coordinated cuts of October 8. Central bank Governor Svein Gjedrem also made critical comments about some of the measures that had been implemented already by other countries, among them the concerted rate cuts which he said "was a strong card, which had a two-hour impact". He further commented that "It's important to be careful with measures  – so that one addresses the problems one really faces," and he also emphasized that acting at the right time was important saying "there are unusually many examples that show one can do too much too early." He cited the Icelandic government's takeover of banks as an example of quick action with no guarantee that the problems would be solved.[115]

The G7 nations, at their meeting in Washington over the weekend pledged to "support systemically important financial institutions and prevent their failure". This decision is based on analysis of the consequences of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers which resulted in the loss of funds by other financial institutions. It is thought that those losses may have triggered a tightening of the credit crunch as banks ceased to lend to one another. No enforceable mechanism was created to support the pledge, but it is believed to extend to major firms such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.[116]

On October 13 stock markets worldwide rose with the Dow Jones industrial average showing a 400 point leap at the start of trading. At the close of trading the average was up 936 points, a record climb, up 11%, closing above 9,000 at 9,387.[117] After announcement in France of a 320 billion euro rescue and guarantee plan, French CAC40 rose by 11.18% within the day.[118] Germany announced a €400 billion plan. On Monday the International Monetary Fund offered possible technical and financial aid to Hungary which has suffered during the crisis due to the flight of investors to euro, Swiss franc, and dollar denominated investments. As in the rest of the world, on Monday stock prices rose on the Hungarian exchange and pressure on the national currency, the forint eased. The forint has dropped 30% against the dollar since July.[119][120] The prime minister of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, announced that Spain would provide up to €100 billion of guarantees for new debt issued by commercial banks in 2008. This plan followed a meeting at the eurozone summit over the weekend to try to develop a coordinated effort to combat the credit crisis.[121] The UK government started the nationalization process by injecting £37 billion in the nation’s three largest banks. The UK government would end up owning a majority share in the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and over a 40% share in Lloyds and HBOS. In return for the bailout, the banks agreed to cancel dividend payments until the loans are repaid, have board members appointed by the Treasury, and limit executive pay.[121] The European Central Bank attempted to revive credit market by weekly injections of unlimited euro funds at an interest rate of 3.75%. The ECB president, Jean-Claude Trichet, was also contemplating relaxing the collateral standards to make the funds more accessible to banks.[121] Following its European partners, Italy pledged to intervene as necessary to prevent any bank failures in its country. Finance minister, Giulio Tremonti, said Italy would guarantee new bank bonds of up to 5 years until the end of 2009 and the Bank of Italy would provide €40 billion in treasury bills to banks to refinance inferior assets that can not be currently used as collateral.[121] In coordination with other eurozone countries, the Dutch government announced that it would guarantee interbank lending up to €200 billion. This followed the set up of a €20 billion Dutch fund to help recapitalize banks and insurers.[121]

On Tuesday the United States announced a plan to take an equity interest of $250 billion in US banks with 25 billion going to each of the four largest banks. The 9 largest banks in the US: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of New York Mellon and State Street were called in to a meeting on Monday morning and pressured to sign; all eventually agreed. The plan will be open to any bank for 30 days. The equity interests purchased by the government are preferred shares that pay 5% but rise to 9% after 5 years; it is expected that the companies will repurchase this interest when they can raise private capital to do so. The plan also includes an option allowing the government to purchase common stock according to a formula which could return substantial profit to the taxpayers should the stock price of the companies substantially appreciate. The total liability assumed is $2.25 trillion including a $1.5 trillion guarantee of new senior debt issued by banks and a $500 billion guarantee of deposits in noninterest-bearing accounts (business accounts used to pay current obligations such as payroll). The theory is that with additional capitalization and the guarantees, banks will be willing to resume a normal lending pattern with each other and borrowers.[122][123][124][125][126]

Also on that day, United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) ministry of finance added a $19 billion liquidity injection to domestic banks bringing the total dollars injected to $32.7 billion. The UAE central bank offered 13.6 billion in liquidity to help domestic banks in September. To protect local deposits, the UAE government guaranteed all deposits and interbank lending.[121] Japan announced a plan that will help steady the Japanese market and avoid the worse of the credit crisis. Among the measures included are lifting restrictions on companies buying back their shares, strengthening disclosure on short selling, and the temporary suspension of the sale of government-owned stocks.[121] The Australian government unveiled a $10.4 billion stimulus package. The Economic Security Strategy is designed to help pensioners, low and middle income families, and first time home buyers withstand the credit crisis and global economic slowdown. This followed the Australian government announcing that it would guarantee all bank deposits for three years, guarantee all term wholesaling funding by Australian banks in international markets and double its planned purchase of residential mortgage backed securities.[121] The Icelandic stock exchange began trading again after a three day shutdown. The opening did not include Iceland’s three largest banks which were nationalized last week.[121]

On Wednesday, October 15, the London stock exchange FTSE 100 fell substantially, surrendering over 314 points to slip down 7.16 percent. The losses precipitated more losses in the U.S., as the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its largest drop in terms of percentage since 1987, falling over 733 points. The NASDAQ plunged almost eight and a half percent, and the Standard & Poor collapsed down over nine percent.[127]

On October 16, a rescue plan was announced for the Swiss banks UBS and Credit Suisse. Recapitalization involved Swiss government funds, private investors, and the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar. A Swiss agency was set up to purchase and workout toxic funds. UBS had suffered substantial withdrawals by domestic Swiss depositors but still reported profits; Credit Suisse has reported losses.[128][129] Most large banks in the United States continued to report large losses.[130]

Following a conference at Camp David over the weekend of October 18th and 19th attended by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, President George W. Bush announced on Wednesday, October 22 that he would host an international conference of financial leaders on November 15 in Washington, D.C. Participants would be drawn from both the developed world and the developing world, including participants from the G20 industrial nations such as India, Brazil and China.[131]

Despite some improvement in the availability of credit, stock markets and weak currencies such as the British pound and the euro continued to decline worldwide during the week of October 19. Markets across Asia suffered particularly heavy losses while European markets experienced substantial losses too, but to a lesser extend compared to those in Asia. The Dow Industrials Index, on the other hand, experienced a week of extreme volatility with violent swings both upwards and downwards, eventually ending lower. The yen and the dollar showed particular strength with the yen rising with respect to the dollar. This "flight to quality" had baleful effects on the economies of all nations including the United States and Japan.[133][134][135][136] On Wednesday, Pakistan joined Iceland, Hungary, Serbia and Ukraine and requested aid from the International Monetary Fund in dealing with severe balance of payments difficulties.[137] Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan, Turkey, South Africa, Argentina, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Bulgaria were all experiencing financial difficulties with others threatened. These countries did not hold securities based on subprime mortgages, but were affected by inability to borrow money, the credit crisis. Plans are under discussion to increase credit available to the IMF, perhaps to a trillion dollars.[138][139]

On Friday, October 24, stock markets plummeted worldwide amidst growing fears among investors that a deep global recession is imminent if not already settled in. The panic was partly fueled by remarks made by Alan Greenspan that the crisis is "a once-in-a-century credit tsunami" and by comments made by Gordon Brown during a speech, admitting essentially that Great Britain is already in recession mode. Following the trend, the US stock markets also fell sharply on opening and ended with the Dow Industrial Index down 312 points.[140] Friday and Saturday (October 24 and 25) the 7th Asia-Europe Meeting was held in Beijing with the European Union meeting Asian states in an attempt to discuss a common approach ahead of the Emergency International Meeting that is scheduled to take place in Washington on November 15. No specific recommendations to solve the crisis were developed.[141][142]

On Sunday, October 26, Hungary and Ukraine made tentative arrangements with the International Monetary Fund for emergency aid packages. In Poland the value of stocks has fallen 50% for the year and the zloty, the Polish currency, has fallen against both the dollar and the euro. The crisis has affected South Africa, Brazil and Turkey. South Africa was particularly affected by a dramatic drop in the price of platinum, a commodity used in automobile manufacturing.[143] In addition to Iceland, Ukraine and Hungary, Belarus and Pakistan were also engaged in emergency discussions with the IMF. Pakistan had what was described as a "growing balance of payments crisis".[144][145] In the Gulf states, impacted by the falling price of oil and a drop in equities prices of 40% for the year, the Gulf Cooperation Council met in Riyadh on Saturday to discuss a coordinated response to the crisis.[146]

On Monday, October 27, Hong Kong stocks crashed, losing more than 12% of their value while in Japan, the Nikkei 225 Index plummeted by 6.4% to its lowest level since 1982. European stock markets showed mixed results. After suffering an initial drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was in slightly positive territory for much of the trading day but eventually closed down 203 points. Oil futures continued to decline and the yen continued to rise against all other currencies.[147] There was consideration given by both the G7 and the Japanese government to take measures to support other currencies as against the yen.[148]

In a second round of recapitalization, the U.S. Treasury funded 22 banks with 38 billion dollars. The list of banks aided was confidential, but some banks including BB&T, Capital One, SunTrust Banks, City National Bank, Comerica, First Niagara Bank, Huntington Bancshares, Northern Trust, State Street Corporation, UCBH Holdings, First Horizon National Corporation, PNC Financial Services (buyer of the National City Corporation), Regions Financial Corporation, Valley National Bancorp KeyBank, and Washington Federal Savings said they would receive government money. Fifth Third Bank announced that they would apply. Criteria for funding was based on the strength of the bank with stronger banks with higher CAMELS ratings having a greater chance of being offered aid.[149][150] The American Bankers Association stated that due to restrictions on salaries and payment of dividends that some U.S. banks may not participate. Another concern was that acceptance of the recapitalization plan might give a false signal that a bank was troubled.[151] (A TARP oversight report by GAO, published December 2008, listed a total of 44 banks participating in the Treasury's $250bn "Capital Purchase Program" initiative.

On Tuesday, October 28, stocks rose dramatically worldwide in anticipation of rate cuts by central banks.

In Russia the $50 billion rescue program administered by the state development bank Vnesheconombank (VEB) is assisting Russian firms controlled by Russian oligarchs who gave ownership of portions of their companies as security for loans from Western financial institutions. Recipients include Oleg Deripaska of Rusal owner of Norilsk Nickel and Mikhail Fridman of Alfa Group whose assets VimpelCom and TNK-BP were threatened. [157] Stock markets in Russian have crashed, down 70% and there is lack of faith in its currency the ruble. Despite significant foreign reserves from the sale of oil, Russia is now faced with sharply reduced commodities prices.[158]

In Asia Japan announced its second economic stimulus plan of $51 billion on Thursday, October 30. Hong Kong and Taiwan cut interest rates while an interest cut to .3% was announced by the Bank of Japan on Friday.[159][160] Also on Thursday the Federal Reserve established a $30 billion currency swap line with South Korea and Singapore as well as Brazil and Mexico.[161]

JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, announced that it would work with homeowners who demonstrate a willingness to pay their mortgages by reducing interest payments or principal. Counseling centers are planned for troubled areas. Washington Mutual, and EMC Mortgage Corporation, a loan servicing company, acquired by JPMorgan, will be included. Bank of America has announced a similar program, as has Countrywide Financial as the result of a court settlement.[162]

October sales of cars and light trucks in the United States fell precipitously in 2008 when compared with sales in October 2007, with General Motors falling 45%, Ford falling 30%, Chrysler falling 35%, Toyota falling 23%, Honda falling 25%, and Nissan falling 33%. Much of the falloff in sales was attributable to customers being unable to arrange financing.[163] Except for Wal-Mart, which posted a slight gain, retail sales were off during October 2008 as compared with October 2007 in the United states with some moderate priced stores reporting double digit decreases.[164]October retail sales were down 4.1% from October 2007 and down 2.8% from September 2008 with sales of cars and auto parts leading the way with a 23.4% decline from October 2007, and a 31.9% decline from September 2008.[165]

Employment reports released by the Labor Department on Friday, November 7, showed that about 500,000 jobs were lost in the United States during September and October 2008 with unemployment rising to 6.5% at the end of October. The September figure was revised to 284,000 from the initial 159,000 reported. The initial October figure was 240,000. This is a substantial acceleration from the average 75,000 jobs lost each month since the beginning of 2008. It is anticipated by experts that unemployment will rise to 8% by the middle of 2009.[166]

On Sunday, November 9, the People's Republic of China announced a $586 billion domestic stimulus package for the remainder of 2008, 2009, and 2010. Economic growth has slowed in China with sharp drops in property and stock values.[174] The money from the stimulus package will be spent on upgrading infrastructure, particularly roads, railways, airports and the power grids throughout the country and raise rural incomes via land reform. Also spending will be made on social welfare projects such as affordable housing and environmental protection.[175][176] Some Chinese factories engaged in low-end export manufacturing have gone out of business.[177]

On Monday, November 10, the US Treasury announced investment of 40 billion dollars in preferred stock of AIG, adjusting the terms of the existing credit line and its amount. Total exposure, including equity and debt, is now 150 billion dollars. Funds were drawn from the Troubled Asset Relief Program which was not available at the time of the original bailout of AIG.[178][179] The question of whether emergency funding would be made available to the troubled American auto industry remained under consideration. General Motors is the most threatened with a sharp drop in sales and diminishing cash reserves.[180]

On Wednesday, November 12, US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson scrapped the original Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and announced shift in the focus to consumer lending. The remaining portion of the TARP budget will be used to help relieve pressure on consumer credits such as car loans, student loans, credit cards etc. [181]

On Thursday November 13, the Dow Jones Industrial Average marked another dramatic session, with the index (opening at 8,282.66) that after a mixed start tumbled again below the 8,000 mark (to a low of 7,965.42) but then reversed the trend and gained more than 900 points (fourth largest daily swing ever) in less than three hours closing at 8,835.25 with a net gain of more than 550 points (third largest ever).

The prospect of a federal bailout of failing US automakers appeared dim pending the inauguration of Barack Obama. There appeared to be opposition from both the Republican members of the Senate and the office of the incumbent president, George W. Bush, which expressed doubt that the companies could be salvaged.[182]

At the invitation of US President George W. Bush the leaders of the G-20 held the initial session of the Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy on Saturday, November 15, in Washington, D.C. They agreed to cooperate with respect to the global financial crisis and issued a statement regarding immediate and medium term goals and actions considered necessary to support and reform the international economy. The next session will be held April 30, probably in London, after Barack Obama takes office as President of the United States. The initial session, attended by the leaders of the G-20 set forth a road map of proposed reforms which will be followed up in coming months by the development of specific proposals, including a comprehensive reform of the Bretton Woods Institutions.[183][184]

In the third quarter of 2008 the gross domestic product of Japan fell 0.4% following a 3.7% drop in the second quarter. Similar reports of recession level economic activity had been released previously by Hong Kong, Germany and the European Union.[185]

It was widely anticipated that economic activity in the United States would be found to be at recession levels when statistics were released[186]. As of November 20 new applications for unemployment benefits rose to a seasonally adjusted 542,000 per week; new applications averaged over 500,000 a week for the last four weeks.[187]

On Friday, November 21 the Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered about half of the loss for the week and closed above 8,000; however, stocks of Citibank, Bank of America, and J.P. Morgan Chase continued to decline.[196] It was unclear whether the drop in the value of Citigroup stock to under $4 reflected financial weakness of the bank or what rescue plan could be crafted.[197] One theory for the disapointment of investors was that the failure of the Treasury to purchase toxic mortgage related securities held by the bank left billions of unrealized losses on the books.[198] Citigroup continues to hold $20 billion in mortgage-related securities, currently valued at a substantial discount.[199]

As of the week of November 16 stock losses in United States markets during 2008 as measured by the S&P 500 were equivalent to those suffered in 1931, over 50%.[200] Total losses during the Great Depression exceeded 80% but that was over a three year period.

خطة الإنقاذ المالي

خطة الإنقاذ المالي هي الخطة التي صاغها وزير الخزانة الأمريكية هنري بولسون، وذلك لإنقاذ النظام المالي الأمريكي، بعد أزمة الرهن العقاري، والتي ظهرت على السطح سنة 2007م، واستمرت تداعيات أزمة الرهن العقاري حتى العام 2008م. ولقد أثرت أزمة الرهن العقاري على قطاع البنوك والأسواق المالية الأمريكية مهددةً بانهيار الاقتصاد الأمريكي، وتداعي الاقتصاد العالمي.

وتهدف الخطة إلى تأمين حماية أفضل للمدخرات والأملاك العقارية، والتي تعود إلى دافعي الضرائب؛ كما تهدف إلى حماية الملكية وتشجيع النمو الاقتصادي وزيادة عائدات الاستثمارات إلى أقصى حد ممكن.

كما وضعت الخطة التي جاءت لمواجهة أخطر أزمة عقارية شهدتها الولايات المتحدة منذ تعرضها لأزمة الركود الكبير عام 1929م، لمساعدة المقترضين الذين يواجهون صعوبات في تسديد أقساطهم عن طريق رفع سقف القروض العقارية التي بإمكانهم تقاضيها مقابل ضمانة عامة. [212]


ولقد عارض الرئيس الأمريكي جورج بوش في بداية الأمر خطة الإنقاذ المالي، حيث اعتبرها لإنقاذ المقترضين والمقرضين الذين لا يشعرون بالمسؤولية، ولكنه بعد ذلك تراجع عن التهديد باستخدام الفيتو ( حق النقض) ضد الخطة بعد قول وزير الخزانة الأميركي هنري بولسون بأن دعم الشركتين ( فاني ماي وفريدي ماك) هو أمرٌ ضروريٌ لتهدئة الأسواق المحلية والخارجية. [213]

وأعتمد مجلس الشيوخ نص خطة الإنقاذ بأغلبية 72 صوتاً مقابل معارضة 13 صوتاً عقب موافقة مجلس النواب. [213]

مبدأ الخطة

تقوم الخطة على شراء الديون الهالكة التي تقض مضاجع السوق المالية الأمريكية وتهدد بانهيارها، وتعود في معظمها إلى السياسة الخاطئة للرهونات العقارية التي أعتمدها المضاربون الماليون في بورصة وول ستريت.

وينص القانون الذي أقره مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي على مهلة لهذه الخطة تنتهي بتاريخ 31 ديسمبر، 2009م، مع احتمال تمديدها بطلب من الحكومة لفترة أقصاها سنتين اعتباراً من تاريخ إقرار الخطة. [212]

وتضمنت خطة الإنقاذ أيضا جانباً خاصاً بشركتي فاني ماي وفريدي ماك كبرى شركات التمويل لقاء الرهن والمعرضتين للإفلاس، بعدما شارفتا على الانهيار مطلع شهر أغسطس. وتملك وتدعم الشركتان المتضررتان رهوناً عقارية قيمتها خمسة تريليونات دولار تعادل نحو 50% من الرهون العقارية في الولايات المتحدة. [213]

وبموجب الخطة تضمن إدارة الإسكان الفدرالية زيادة سقف القروض التي تشتريها الشركتان إلى 625 ألف دولار. [213]

بنود خطة الإنقاذ المالي الأمريكية

1- السماح للحكومة الأمريكية بشراء أصول هالكة بقيمة سبعمائة مليار دولار، وتكون مرتبطة بالرهن العقاري.

2- يتم تطبيق الخطة على مراحل بإعطاء الخزينة الأمريكية إمكانية شراء أصول هالكة بقيمة تصل إلى 250 مليار دولار في مرحلة أولى، مع احتمال رفع هذا المبلغ إلى 350 مليار دولار بطلب من رئيس الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية؛ ويملك أعضاء الكونغرس الأمريكي حق النقض ( الفيتو) على عمليات الشراء، والتي تتعدى هذا المبلغ مع تحديد سقفه بسبعمائة مليار دولار.

3- تساهم الدولة الأمريكية في رؤوس أموال وأرباح الشركات المستفيدة من هذه الخطة، مما يسمح بتحقيق أرباح إذا تحسنت ظروف الأسواق.

4- يكلّف وزير الخزانة بالتنسيق مع السلطات والمصارف المركزية لدول أخرى، لوضع خطط مماثلة.

5- رفع سقف الضمانات للمودعين من مائة ألف دولار إلى 250 ألف دولار لمدة عام واحد.

6- منح إعفاءات ضريبية تبلغ قيمتها نحو مائة مليار دولار للطبقة الوسطى والشركات.

7- تحديد التعويضات لرؤساء الشركات عند الاستغناء عنهم.

8- منع دفع تعويضات تشجع على مجازفات لا فائدة منها، وتحديد المكافآت المالية لمسؤولي الشركات الذين يفيدون من التخفيضات الضريبية بخمسمائة ألف دولار.

9- استعادة العلاوات التي تم تقديمها على أرباح متوقعة لم تتحقق بعد.

10- يشرف مجلس مراقبة على تطبيق الخطة، ويضم هذا المجلس رئيس الاحتياطي الاتحادي ووزير الخزانة ورئيس الهيئة المنظمة للبورصة.

11- يحافظ مكتب المحاسبة العامة التابع للكونغرس على حضور الاجتماعات الدورية في الخزانة، وذلك لمراقبة عمليات شراء الأصول والتدقيق في الحسابات.

12- تعيين مفتش عام مستقل لمراقبة قرارات وزير الخزانة.

13- يدرس القضاء القرارات التي يتخذها وزير الخزانة.

14- اتخاذ إجراءات ضد عمليات وضع اليد على الممتلكات. [212]

الآراء المؤيدة لخطة الإنقاذ

1- بعض الاقتصاديين اعتبر الخطة علاجاً جراحياً يقدّم حلاً شاملاً من خلال إنقاذ الوضع المالي وضمان عدم انتقال المشكلات التمويلية إلى الشركات لتقتصر كما هي الآن على القطاع المالي فقط.

2- تضمن الخطة استمرارية الثقة في البنوك الأميركية.

3- تقدم الخطة علاجاً للمشكلات من حيث معاقبة من كانوا مسؤولين ثم إيجاد الحلول لسد الثغرات المتعلقة بارتفاع أسعار العقارات بعدما جرت البنوك وراء الأسعار المرتفعة، كما تؤكد ضرورة تحديد دور أسواق المال والمضاربات بالنسبة لبيع الأوراق الآجلة.

4- ستساعد الخطة شركات القطاع المصرفي لأن نظام التأمين على الودائع في أميركا يغطي ودائع الأفراد فقط ولا يوجد تعويضات للشركات. [212]

الآراء المعارضة لخطة الإنقاذ

- يرى الكثير من الأمريكيين أنه يتعين على بورصة وول ستريت أو حي المال الأميركي أن يقوم بحل مشكلاته بنفسه.

- يبدي الكثير من الأميركيين نواباً ومواطنين خشيتهم من الثمن الذي سيتحمله دافعو الضرائب الأمريكيون.

- يعتقد عدد كبير من الأمريكيين بأنه لا توجد ضمانات كافية لإنجاح الخطة، ويعتبرونها تبديداً للأموال العامة.

- ستفيد الخطة البنوك على المدى القصير في التخلص من أعباء الديون المعدومة والاستثمارات العاطلة، لكن مع وجود شكوك في إمكانية أن تعود أسعار هذه الأصول إلى الارتفاع في المستقبل.

- بعض النواب والأعيان في الكونجرس تحفّظوا على قيمة الخطة البالغة سبعمائة مليار دولار.

- بعض النواب طالبوا بالحصول على تأكيدات وضمانات بأن الخطة ستفيد أصحاب المنازل الأميركيين العاديين، كما ستفيد بورصة وول ستريت.

- الخطة ستمنح الإدارة الأمريكية هامشاً كبيراً في تحديد المؤسسات المالية التي ستستفيد منها، بدون استبعاد صناديق الاستثمار التي تنطوي على مجازفات. [212]

إقرار خطة الإنقاذ بالكونجرس

1- عُرِضت خطة الإنقاذ على مجلس النواب في الكونجرس الأمريكي يوم الاثنين الموافق 30 أيلول، 2008م، فرفضها 228 نائبا مقابل 205 نائب.

2- وافق مجلس الشيوخ على خطة الإنقاذ بعد إدخال بعض التعديلات عليها، وكانت نتيجة التصويت التي جرت يوم الخميس الموافق 2 تشرين الأول، 2008م: 74 سيناتوراً مؤيداً مقابل 25 معارضاً.

3- مجلس النواب يقر الخطة بعد إدخال تعديلات عليها يوم الجمعة الموافق 3 تشرين الأول، 2008م. كانت نتيجة التصويت الذي جرى بعد خمسة أيام من رفضها الأولي، تأييد 263 نائب مقابل 171 معارضاً لها. [212]

آراء حكام وقادة العالم في خطة الإنقاذ المالي

  • الرئيس الأمريكي جورج بوش: " الخطة ستساعد في حماية الاقتصاد الأميركي والأسر والشركات الصغيرة في أمريكا، وهي أساسية للأمن المالي للولايات المتحدة ومساعدة الأسر الأمريكية التي تحتاج للقروض من أجل شراء منزل أو تمويل الدراسات العليا لأبنائها، ومساعدة الشركات الصغيرة على دفع فواتيرها، ومن غير الممكن التخلي عن كل مؤسسات وول ستريت حتى ولو كانت تستحق الانهيار".
  • وزير الخزانة الأمريكي هنري بولسون: " الخطة ستساعد على حماية الاقتصاد المحلي لجعل الأمريكيين واثقين من حصولهم على الأموال اللازمة لإيجاد فرص عمل وضمان استمرار الأعمال".
  • مرشح الرئاسة الأمريكية الجمهوري جون ماكين: " عدم تحرك الكونغرس لإقرار خطة الإنقاذ المالي وضع جميع الأمريكيين والاقتصاد برمته في مواجهة خطر كبير جداً. الشركات الأمريكية لا يمكنها الاقتراض لتمويل نشاطاتها وتسديد ما يترتب عليها، وإذا لم نتحرك فإن الكثير منها سينهار".
