Surprisingly, the public finance triumphs in crisis

In the midst of the worst financial crisis ever recorded since 1929, there a market sector that continues to flourish as if nothing was happening. Public institutions like the European Investment Bank and World Bank are still able to get credit at very low rates, through the sale of bonds. This week, the EIB raised $ 4 billion a unteresse 2.6%, one of the lowest rates on record and 40 points lower than the average rate of exchange that is a benchmark for the cost of borrowing in Europe. In the same week the World Bank issued five-year bonds worth a billion and half dollars at a rate of 3.5%.
had the same luck KfW, the German development bank, and OKB Austrian export credit agency.
In sintesi il settore pubblico è divenuto uno dei pochi beneficiari del crack finanziario globale.
La capacità di raccogliere liquidità ad un tasso tradizionalmente basso è particolarmente significativa in un momento in cui i prestiti interbancari sono virtualmente congelati. Governi e istituzioni che hanno ricevuto prestiti dalla BEI e dalla Banca Mondiale beneficiano indirettamente dei tassi vantaggiosi con i quali le istituzioni raccolgono capitali sul mercato.
