Economic policies and outlook: prospects dictated by delays in decisions on how to tackle budget problems in Europe and the US

Europe: the July summit brought positive surprises regarding liquidity support measures, but Greece's solvency issues have yet to be cleared up. Economies with high risk premiums have already seen growth undermined as a result

Spain: GDP growth in the second quarter of around 0.3% qoq (0.8% yoy), still too weak for sustained job creation. The Spanish economy is still stuck in a pattern of low activity and employment, with forecasts pointing towards 1% growth for 2011

The higher contribution to growth by net trade is still one of the positive aspects of the ongoing adjustment

There has been no change in the pace of adjustment and reform which offset rising uncertainty on international financial markets

Global growth still driven by emerging economies• The global economy slowed slightly in the first half of 2011 • Global growth should remain robust, driven by emerging economies, as the slowdown was caused by

short-lived factors (e.g. high oil prices, disruption to the Japanese supply chain caused by the earthquake)

• The recovery has lost steam in 2011, mainly due to one-off factors, although the US economy remains structurally weak after the financial crisis: struggling real estate market, deleveraging and tough lending conditions

• Inflationary pressures remain benign. The Fed still needs clear signs before changing its tightening policy

US: more than a debt ceiling is needed: long-term consolidation

The agreement to raise the US debt ceiling prevented technical default by the country. Nevertheless, it does not clear up all doubts surrounding a long-term solution to curb the deficit and stabilise debt

Financial stress in Europe will affect the periphery more than the core• In Europe, healthy growth in Q1 and Q2 led to a slight upward revision to the 2011 growth forecast• The decoupling between European core and peripheral countries should continue in 2011 and 2012.

Wider bond spreads will undermine growth of countries with high risk premiums

Insolvent countries must be separated from liquidity-strapped countries to prevent contagionTo solve financial stress in Europe, a distinction must be made between countries faced with solvency issues and those with liquidity problems. For the first group, solvency must be restored by slashing debt. For the second group, a strong mechanism for providing liquidity is needed

What are the key features of each pillar?Strict conditionality is required to achieve debt reduction. To provide liquidity, the EFSF must be expanded and improved, with a certain degree of conditionality. Both pillars should steer Europe not only towards monetary union, but to some extent, fiscal union

Larger and more flexible EFSF

Bond purchases on secondary markets

Lending not only to governments

July summit: EU authorities make surprise liquidity support announcementThe 21 July summit did not address all solvency concerns, but attempted to isolate peripheral countries from Greece

Expanded EFSF, pre-emptive lending (e.g. FCL) and bond purchases on secondary markets

All of this, but……the size of the EFSF was unchanged

Rescheduling and debt repurchases, but limited reduction in debt

What the summit needed What was agreed on 21 JulyAchieved?

Decision on a public bailout or reach agreement on substantial write-down of NPV of debt

No agreement on EurobondsCreation of Eurobonds to cover debt up to 50% of GDP and imposition of conditionality

Page 11

What's left to do after the summit?In addition to executing the agreements and clarifying significant details (EFSF, private sector involvement), the EU authorities must devise a powerful mechanism to provide liquidity, lend credibility to the continuation of reforms and proceed towards greater fiscal unity

3 pillars for progress Work to be done

Provide sufficient support to liquidity to ward off speculators

• Achieve a broad core-periphery agreement

Proceed with economic reforms• Implement ongoing programmes

• Design a timetable for more reforms

Achieve a tighter fiscal union

• Announce the creation of Eurobonds quickly, with fiscal rules and strict control. Imple-mentationwith the ESM in 2013

Growth in Q1 2011 topped expectations, but Q2 2011 numbers were broadly the same as Q1 2011 and in line with forecasts of three months ago

The main characteristics of the short-term outlook for the Spanish economy are still:

• Lack of job creation

• Weak domestic demand

• Negative contribution to growth by domestic demand

• Sharp growth in foreign demand

The ECB could bring forward the start of its tightening campaign to the last quarter of 2011, raising key rates to 1.75% by year-end and 2.0% in Q1 2012, provided the European sovereign debt crisis is cleared up

• The interest rate scenario is not that different, so the impact of raising rates earlier would be limited

• In general, higher interest rates than expected three months ago would only detract marginally from growth in 2012

Heightened pressure in sovereign debt markets (larger risk premiums: +50bp in 2011 and 2012, but short-lived) would dampen GDP growth

The cumulative effect of this factor alone would be a decrease in GDP growth of 5 tenths in 2012 from forecasts three months ago

• Spain has already made some progress by lowering its financing requirement relative to other countries via sharp cuts to investment and an increase in the household saving rate

• However, public sector saving has declined.

Concerns stem from the Spanish economy's hefty financing requirement

Maximum fiscal rigourMeeting budget targets would bring down the risk premium significantly• The target is ambitious: a reduction in the regional government deficit of 6pp of GDP to 3% in 2013• In 2011, the bulk falls on the regional governments: they must lower the deficit by 1.5pp, making

nearly 90% of the required adjustment in 2011 to guarantee that the 2013 target will be met

Proposals

• Transparency and multi-year budgets for all public administrations

• Fiscal rules limiting spending to trend nominal GDP growth

Maximum fiscal rigour

• The regional governments must reimburse the state for slightly over 20% of their total financing for 2009• In view of the sharp fall in the Sufficiency Fund, those regions that relied more heavily on it have to return

larger amounts.

Stress tests: institutions with a Core Tier 1 capital ratio below 5%Source: BBVA Research and EBA

Factoring in general and anti-cyclical provisions, and convertible bond issues, no Spanish bank would require an extraordinary capital injection

• In the more adverse scenario, the Core Tier 1 capital ratio would decline from 7.4% to 7.3%. However, considering other elements that absorb losses (e.g. general allowances, convertible bonds) the ratio would stand at 8.6%

Insufficient labour market reform

Considerations

• Tenuous progress in signing of corporate collective bargaining agreements

• Arbitration does not eliminate "ultra-activity"

• Proposal still restrictive in terms of internal flexibility

• The possibility of removing wage-related clauses from collective agreements is still complicated

• The effectiveness of the reform will depend on the goodwill of the parties

Driving an improvement in productivity• In Spain, aggregate exports of goods show a positive correlation to company size, a key factor in

international expansion • Initiative to boost the growth of small businesses is crucial to exploit economies of scale.

• In addition to their larger size, exporters have greater experience, better productivity and, particularly, higher physical capital per employee, and they are more willing to invest in R&D than non-exporters, making them more competitive abroad.

Differentiating features of exporters versus non-exporters, average 1990-2009 (ratio of medians)Source: BBVA Research based on BSS data (SEPI foundation)

Note: Size refers to number of employees; experience is measured as the difference between the year the company was founded and the average foundation date for all companies in the sample; productivity (VA per employee), physical capital and external spending on training are expressed in thousands of euros per employee; R&D spending is in thousands of euros; foreign-owned capital as a share of the company's total capital; access to equity capital is equity capital/equity and liabilities; * figure is the average; experience, R&D spending and spending on training show the absolute difference between the medians of the distribution.
