Five to ten years rigorous out of the crisis, said Walnut - June 29, 2010
It will take five to ten years of tight budgets completely out of the current crisis, said Tuesday the governor of the Bank of France.
Christian Noyer, a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank, said on Europe 1 radio that French banks were healthy and they have no problem paying their deadlines with the ECB.
European banks will all pay off next Thursday due to 442 billion euros, but some may suffer, so the ECB will do whatever is necessary so that it goes well, he added.
"French banks are doing well, trust them exists.There was no big problem for us, "said Christian Noyer.
"But we must look more widely and today there is an interbank market that is less solid, less confident that it was before," he said.
Asked about the 442 billion euros in loans that European banks must repay, he said that French banks would have "no problem of course.
"First the French banks did not borrow much, then they are prepared it and the ECB, the Eurosystem, are getting it right for there to be cash needed," he added .
Banks in the euro area, "they will all pay" even though "there are some banks that are in worse situation that may be suffered," added Christian Noyer, stating that "we will ensure that no ' there is no problem and that all this goes well.
The Governor of the Bank of France acknowledged that "it is an important deadline that has disrupted a bit.Perhaps part of the explanation of the tensions that we have had in the banking system in Europe. "
"QUICK FIX THE DEFICIT
Deficits made by states during the recession weighed on consumer confidence and push them to save for fear of massive tax increases, "we must correct that and quickly," said Christian Noyer, stressing that "we are concerned about whether the debts it does nothing to stop them. "
Asked whether the French government could reduce the public deficit to 3% of GDP in 2013 as it has undertaken without undue damage to the economy, he replied: "I am satisfied that there may achieve without breaking growth."
Asked how he would have years of rigor or discipline to get out completely from the crisis, Christian Noyer said: "I think it will take some years, perhaps between five and ten years probably. "
"Otherwise, if you want to do it very quickly, then we can have a negative effect on growth, it must be done gradually, it will take at least five to six years," he said.
It held that the government forecast a GDP growth of 1.4% this year, "parried (ssait) figure is quite reasonable."
For 2011, "I hope we will close around 2%," he said, adding that this level of growth assumed that households consume and businesses to invest and hire.
"It depends on us, the degree of confidence we have and the degree of confidence that we will also depend on the determination of the state to move towards a balanced budget," he added.
The French government forecasts growth of 2.5% in 2011, a figure he called "ambitious" and that he could revise mid-August after the release of second quarter GDP.
