ECB's Coene: Spain Banking Aid Decision Will Prevent Contagion
By Frances Robinson
BRUSSELS--The decision to provide assistance to Spain's banks will prevent further contagion in the euro zone, a member of the European Central Bank governing council said Monday.
Over the weekend, Spain said it would accept up to 100 billion euros ($125 billion) in guarantees for its troubled banks and is expected to make a formal request for the money this week, although independent assessments of the amounts required will only come towards the end of June.
"What's positive is we've got a mechanism in place that will allow us to isolate the Spanish problem," Luc Coene told reporters. "This risk is now being limited, it's under control, we've got the necessary resources to do that."
Statements about the bailout by Spain and the European Union have left several open questions, including the exact amount of aid the country will need and how the funds will be disbursed.
And while Coene said details needed to be finalized about how the money will flow from the permanent bailout fund--the European Stability Mechanism--to Spain's banks, he advocated taking the best approach according to circumstances.
He also said the funding decision wouldn't affect the European Central Bank's exceptional policy measures, such as the securities markets program of bond-buying, which was designed to improve monetary policy transmission.
"There is no connection between the two things," he said.
Asked if the structure of senior creditors within the ESM could cause problems, Coene replied he "didn't think so."
"ESM debt is senior, but that is not in itself enough to have a credit event," he said, adding that the final details have yet to be confirmed.
"This has nothing to do with ratings, or non-compliance with conditions," he said.
Initial market reaction to the deal shouldn't be over-interpreted as "it's not unusual for markets to fluctuate," he added.
Spanish government bond prices fell Monday, after an initial relief rally as concerns mounted that the deal will load more debt on to the Spanish state and threaten to subordinate bondholders behind official creditors.

BOE's Posen: Bank of England Should Buy Small Business Loans
By Jason DouglasLONDON--The Bank of England should purchase bundles of small business loans in an effort to boost the supply of credit and end an "investors' strike" that is holding back the economy, BOE rate-setter Adam Posen said Monday.
In a reprise of an earlier appeal, Posen said major central banks around the world should engage in a fresh round of stimulus and target their efforts at parts of their economies most in need of official help.
In the U.S., that is the residential mortgage market. In the U.K., it is lending to small businesses, Mr. Posen said, according to a text of his speech.
"The critical gap to be addressed is in lending to small and medium enterprises, and new businesses," he said.
Mr. Posen said risk-aversion among investors is preventing the extra cash pumped into the U.K. economy by the BOE through its asset purchase program from sparking a revival in investment--an investors' strike that monetary policy should seek to bring to an end.
His proposal calls for the BOE to buy small business loans, thereby spurring banks to lend more to small firms in the knowledge the central bank stands ready to snap up those loans.
Mr. Posen first made his proposal in September last year but the idea met resistance from BOE Governor Mervyn King, who argues that only elected lawmakers can risk taxpayers' money on risky loans. The BOE's GBP325 billion asset purchase program has focused almost exclusively on U.K. government bonds, or gilts.
Mr. Posen, who steps down from the Monetary Policy Committee in August to head the Petersen Institute in Washington, a think tank, said those concerns should be assuaged if the government vowed to indemnify the central bank against any losses.
