Liechtenstein prosecutor probes Signa founder Benko’s hidden wealthAfter the March insolvency of the Austrian family foundations, investors are asking where the tycoon’s fortune has goneLiechtenstein’s chief public prosecutor has opened an investigation into the financial affairs of the Austrian property mogul René Benko for possible money laundering and fraud in the tiny, secretive alpine principality. Four months on from the collapse of his sprawling luxury real estate empire, the Signa Group, Benko — once one of Europe’s youngest billionaires, feted by politicians in Austria and Germany — has come under increasing legal pressure to account for the role he played at the group and its entanglement with his own financial affairs.“Preliminary investigations have been initiated against a natural person and a legal entity . . . on suspicion of fraudulent bankruptcy and money laundering,” a spokesperson for the Liechtenstein prosecutor said.On Thursday, Signa Holding, the central company in the Signa group, reported that it expected to recoup zero value from its shareholdings in Signa’s two main holding companies, which owned the majority of the network’s luxury property portfolio — a catalogue of high-end addresses and shops around Europe, including London’s Selfridges and Berlin’s KaDeWe.Benko’s two Austrian family foundations — the controlling shareholders of Signa Holding, and investors themselves at multiple levels in Signa’s bewilderingly complicated corporate structure — filed for insolvency in March.Benko is also the beneficiary of at least two trusts in Liechtenstein — the Ingbe foundation, and the Arual foundation, investigations by the Austrian magazine News have concluded.The two Austrian organisations — the Benko Family Foundation, controlled by his mother, and the Laura Foundation, named after his daughter — had been assumed to look after most of Benko’s personal wealth, including his yacht, luxury homes and art collection.For many of Signa’s investors, who are still owed billions, the foundations’ penury raises questions about where the fortune formerly attributed to the 46 year old Tirolean has now gone — and whether they have a claim on any of it. Ingbe is a contraction of his mother’s name, Ingeborg, and the Arual foundation is his daughter’s name backwards. Lichtenstein’s complicated legal and privacy rules mean little is known about how much money may have flowed through them or what they own, however.A lawyer for Benko did not respond to a request for comment on the Liechtenstein investigation, which was first reported by the Swiss financial blog, Inside Paradeplatz. Some Signa investors have already themselves made accusations of criminal activity at Signa.Austria’s state prosecutor for economic crime and corruption has received “several” criminal complaints against Benko, it told the Financial Times in February, but has yet to declare whether it has opened any formal investigation against Signa or persons at the company.Munich’s public prosecutor has opened a preliminary probe into one Signa entity under suspicion of money laundering last month.In January the FT reported on huge unexplained flows of money between Signa-group entities and Benko’s Austrian foundations, which had raised alarm bells for creditors as they gained information of the group’s financial affairs following its collapse.

The Fed may have no choice but to tip the US into recession, economist saysThe latest inflation report not only sent bond yields soaring and stocks plunging, it may also have put the US back on track for a recession, one economist told Bloomberg TV on Thursday. The catch: such a downturn would be one self-induced by the Federal Reserve."If we continue to get inflation prints at these levels, the [Federal Reserve] is going to find itself backed into a corner where they need to cause a recession if they're going to hold that 2% inflation target," Ian Lyngen, BMO Capital Markets head of US rates strategy, said.His comments follow after March's consumer price index came in hotter-than-expected on Wednesday, increasing 3.5% on an annual basis, against 3.4% year-over-year forecasts. The rate was higher than both January and February prints.(...)

Ben Bernanke says BoE must revamp main economic modelNobel laureate cites ‘significant shortcomings’ and calls for end of fan chartsThe Bank of England must revamp its main economic model if it is to avoid repeating its recent failure to forecast surging inflation, former Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke has said.The Nobel laureate, who was called in to review the BoE’s forecasting and related processes, found “significant shortcomings” in the bank’s baseline economic model that were exacerbated by outdated software.He added that the Monetary Policy Committee’s current “fan charts” — which show the probabilities of different outcomes for growth and inflation under various assumptions — had “outlived their usefulness” and “should be eliminated”.Bernanke was asked to review the BoE’s forecasting last year after UK policymakers came under fire for failing to foresee a post-pandemic jump in inflation that was sharper and more prolonged than in other advanced economies.His recommendations suggest radical change is needed to equip the central bank for a more volatile economic environment, in which big shocks such as the pandemic and the Ukraine war may be more frequent.The BoE said it was “committed to action” on all 12 of the report’s recommendations and would provide an update on proposed changes by the end of the year.Andrew Bailey, BoE governor, described the review as a “once in a generation opportunity” to update forecasting approaches and tailor them to a “more uncertain world”. Bernanke said an international comparison showed the BoE’s forecasting performance had been no worse than that of other central banks, and that “unusually large” errors were “probably inevitable” given the unprecedented circumstances.But the review also points to big deficiencies in the BoE’s forecasting infrastructure, the way it deploys staff, and its over-reliance on a central economic forecast to explain its policy decisions to the public.Bailey said the BoE had been “challenged by the sheer scale and unpredictability of the shocks that have hit us” but that conditions were now calmer and there was now “an increasingly positive story to tell on the economy”.The BoE now urgently needs to invest money and staff time into modernising software, Bernanke said, before “replacing or, at minimum, thoroughly revamping” its economic model, known as Compass, in the longer term.In particular, he argued the model should in future pay more attention to problems with productivity, labour markets and trade. It should also include detailed models of financial, housing and energy markets.Instead of using fan charts, Bernanke said the bank should publish a range of scenarios to explain its choices, the risks to its forecast and the “robustness” of plans in the face of uncertainty.However, he stopped short of recommending that the BoE adopt the so-called dot plot, which he introduced at the Fed in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. The chart shows officials’ differing expectations for appropriate interest rate policy in the coming years.While he said the US model would not suit the BoE, he argued the MPC should consider publishing its own forecast for interest rates in the longer term. Its central forecast is currently based on market rate expectations, meaning the MPC does not always believe its own projections.Any such changes would be “highly consequential”, Bernanke said, arguing that the decision should be left for “future deliberations”.The BoE should focus first on improving its forecasting tools — which will require heavy investment — while “moving cautiously in adopting changes to policymaking and communications”, Bernanke concluded.

HOY, JUEVES 11/04/2024, ES UN DÍA HISTÓRICO EN ESPAÑA.—Aún estoy en la 2.ª lectura del Capítulo 2 del WEO-FMI de Abril-2024.https://www.imf.org/es/Publications/WEO/Issues/2024/04/16/world-economic-outlook-april-2024Sorprende que en la cabecera de la página web del FMI hayan puesto toda una declaración de intenciones, a buen entendedor: «La vivienda es uno de los motivos por los que no todos los países sufren las subidas de tasas de interés por igual». Y, por ende, no gozan por igual de los efectos sanadores del endurecimiento de las políticas monetarias, iniciado a finales 2021, pero evidenciado a mediados de 2022.Estamos ante un documento-guía para administrar la hecatombe residencial que se prevé tras las elecciones en EEUU, este noviembre.El futuro del capitalismo no puede depender de la irracionalidad un solo precio, calificado ahora como 'macrocritical', agujero negro sobre el que gira desordenadamente la galaxia económica.Padecemos un nivel de precios en el 'residential' que, sencillamente, es incompatible con la supervivencia del capitalismo. Por su culpa:— no hay constructores— no hay compradores (ni siquiera para el 'commercial')— no hay arrendadores canónicos — no hay capitalistas dispuestos a financiar las rentas inmobiliarias esperadas— no hay el consumo ni la inversión productiva que debiera— no hay afinación en las ecuaciones a medio y largo plazo de fiscos y monedas.El sector privado (electoralismo incluido) ha degenerado y solo percibe la vivienda como activo de inversión (obtención de rentas —alquileres o plusvalías—), no como producto de consumo básico, de primera necesidad y obligatorio para trabajadores y microempresarios.Por este nivel de precios absurdo, ya no estarían obteniéndose rentas suficientes para vivir directamente de la fuente Trabajo & Empresa (salarios y beneficios).El propietariado, en contra del Capital —aversión que se ve bien en la 'bancofobia' reinante, banco central incluido—, estaría recurriendo a lo que cree que aún le queda, valor ofertademandista inmobiliario —después de haber consentido la precariedad laboral y la sobretributación de la microempresa—. Solo estaría interesado en una parálisis de la construcción y la retención de viviendas vacías, para perpetuar la escasez, que confunde con riqueza. La situación sería insostenible. Además, sería mucho, pero mucho peor en Occidente que en Eurasia.Con este marco general, en España, hoy es un día histórico. La Administración Central ha convocado a los agentes económicos del residencial-social para notificarles el plan de construcción masiva de vivienda asequible. Entiéndase por asequible lo que nosotros llamamos 'el 120 & 100' (compra, 120 mil euros, alquiler, 100 euros/mes —entiéndase literal—).Hoy estaría poniéndose para España uno de los últimos clavos en el ataúd de la tortura económica más grande de su historia: la estúpida sobrevaloración de la vivienda básica para hacer creer al obrero que ya estaba sublimado en capitalistita.Es una bendición que le haya tocado a la socialdemocracia, que fue la que, en los 1980, se vio en la tesitura de tener que infectar a la sociedad española con este virus anticapitalista —que entonces no se veía mortal, se creía fácilmente domeñable y se suponía que exterminaría el socialismo-de-izquierdas—.Además, la desinfección tiene un acelerante oportunísimo: un escándalo de 'sanchismo' pisitófilo-falsofacturerofágico fiscal-fecal en la capital española, escándalo que ha convertido en pasivo electoral a la que se supone que era la principal activo del gran partido político falsoliberal español, pasivo del que este va a tener mucha dificultad para desembarazarse.Recordemos que sanchismo viene de Sancho Panza, es decir, el arquetipo del votante de dicho partido conservador español. Los odiarrojos (el odio es una forma de erotismo) nunca tenían que haber usado el término sanchismo para referirse a la socialdemocracia ortodoxa que gobierna en aparente coalición con la derecha neoprovinciana separatista —en realidad es un atado en corto—. Debieran haber usado 'sanchezismo', con zeta. Ahora, que arrostren con el «Ayuso y su amador son sanchismo malote quintaesenciado».

Developers to Get Cheap Land Leases in Canadian Homebuilding PushTrudeau releases strategy to address housing shortage‘Most ambitious plan’ in Canada’s history, says ministerPrime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government will provide low-cost leases of public land to developers and push factory construction of homes as part of what it calls a “historic” plan to alleviate Canada’s housing crisis.Companies that agree to build affordable homes will gain access to “surplus, underused, and vacant lands” owned by the public, the government said, while providing few specific details. The prime minister’s housing strategy, published on Friday, also includes low-interest loans for homeowners who want to add basement suites or laneway houses to their properties.(...)
Stournaras (BCE): "Es el momento de separarnos de la Fed; nuestra economía y la americana son totalmente distintas"La reunión de esta semana del Banco Central Europeo ha certificado que el BCE se está preparando para recortar tipos antes que la Reserva Federal, un movimiento que rompe con la normalidad. La Fed siempre se ha movido antes que el BCE a la hora de cambiar el ciclo de tipos de interés, y en este momento va a ser diferente. Yannis Stournaras, miembro del Consejo de Gobierno del BCE, ha querido quitar hierro a este cambio fundamental, al declarar que "el BCE no debe tener miedo de cambiar su posicionamiento frente a la Fed", ya que, recuerda, "la economía de la zona euro y de Estados Unidos son ahora totalmente diferentes". "La demanda es mucho más fuerte en EEUU, y no tenemos eso en Europa, donde la inflación ha sido generada por fuerzas de la oferta, y no tanto por la demanda ni por los salarios", explica Stournaras para justificar un movimiento temprano del BCE frente a la Fed.
1.2 Million More Americans Became 'Subprime Borrowers' In The Past Year, With The Total Number Approaching 50 MillionIn a concerning trend for the U.S. economy, 1.2 million more Americans have been classified as “subprime borrowers” over the past year, according to a recent analysis by Money.com of data released by VantageScore. This surge brings the total number of Americans in this category to over 47 million as of February 2024.The latest VantageScore models score approximately 94% of all adults 18 and older, meaning nearly 20% of all borrowers now fall into the subprime tier.Subprime borrowers are individuals with credit scores ranging from 300 to 600, indicating a higher risk to lenders. This classification can have significant implications for their financial lives, making it challenging to obtain loans, secure affordable interest rates and even impact their ability to rent properties or secure employment.The rise in subprime borrowers is attributed to an uptick in delinquencies across various types of loans, including auto loans, credit cards, mortgages and personal loans. VantageScore, a credit-scoring firm developed by the “big three” credit bureaus Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, has observed this trend across all credit-score tiers.As more Americans fall into the subprime category, the divide between consumers with prime and super-prime credit scores and those with subprime scores is becoming more pronounced. Susan Fahy, chief digital officer at VantageScore, notes that the current high-interest rate environment, a result of the Federal Reserve’s efforts to combat inflation, is exacerbating the situation. While individuals with near-perfect credit scores can still manage their finances effectively, those with subprime scores are struggling to keep up with credit payments.The implications of this shift are far-reaching, affecting not only the individuals with lower credit scores but also the broader economy. As access to affordable credit becomes more restricted for a growing segment of the population, consumer spending and economic growth could be impacted.Experts recommend that individuals in the subprime category take proactive steps to improve their credit scores, such as paying bills on time, reducing debt levels and avoiding new credit inquiries.

Esto haría que tal vez fuéramos más críticos con el uso que se da a nuestros impuestos por parte de nuestros políticos, y nos haría más exigentes. Nos haría mas conscientes de lo que se paga, del valor del dinero, de lo que cuesta ganarlo y de la cantidad que pagamos en impuestos.
