澳洲政府对国内金融机构所有存款进行三年担保
据2008年10月12日《The Age》报道，澳大利亚总理陆克文12日指出，澳洲政府将保证未来3年所有国内金融机构的存款。
陆克文是在坎培拉就全球金融海啸与高级官员举行2天的危机会谈之后作出上述表示的。他说，这项保证是澳洲政府所採取的保障澳洲人民的3项措施之一。一旦银行破产，这些金融机构的储户将在第一时间得到政府的赔偿。
陆克文指出，澳洲政府也将保证澳洲银行在国际市场上作业的各种整批资金，并且对住宅支持的债券市场再注入$40亿澳元，以支撑国内抵押贷款市场。
Government guarantees all bank deposits
October 12, 2008 - 6:23AM The Age
The federal government will guarantee all money deposits of any size for the next three years as a key step towards safeguarding the nation from the impact of the global financial crisis.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said that local banks remained in first class shape but the global financial crisis was affecting confidence across the world, including in Australia.
Mr Rudd said Australia was better positioned than practically every other country to see its way through the crisis.
But, he said, the government had decided on three further measures to maintain continued stability of the Australian financial system.
The measures announced would "unclog the arteries of the global financial system" which had dried up credit because of fears banks would fail, he said.
The government will:
* Guarantee all term wholesale funding by Australian banks operating in international credit markets. This means anyone lending money to an Australian bank has an absolute assurance their money is safe.
* Guarantee all deposits of any size in any financial institution for the next three years. The government originally proposed that be $20,000 or less.
* Direct the Australian Office of Financial Management to purchase an additional $4 billion in residential mortgage backed securities. This will ensure the Australian mortgage market has access to sufficient funds for future operations.
Mr Rudd said many foreign banks, much less well run and regulated than Australian banks, were now guaranteed by their governments, placing local banks at a disadvantage when competing for funding on global markets.
"I will not stand idly by while Australian banks are disadvantaged in international credit market places because of the actions taken by foreign governments in support of them," he told reporters in Canberra.
"We must act now because other governments with weaker banks have moved to make those institutions more competitive than our stronger banks."
Mr Rudd said if the government was going to guarantee those lending to banks, it was only fair that the government protect Australian working families, carers, small businesses and all other depositors.
"The Australian government will guarantee all deposits whatever their size in all Australian banking institutions for three years - banks, building societies and credit unions," he said.
Mr Rudd said Australian banks would be on the same footing as other international banks.
He said in return for the guarantees, banks would have to pay an insurance premium.
"That will be levied at an appropriate rate determined between treasury and themselves, which will go to ensure that this is not simply a free gift from the government by way of a guarantee to the banks."
Mr Rudd said there would be bumps on the road ahead.
"We are in the economic equivalent of a rolling national security crisis and the challenges are great," he said. |
