This was because heignored the costs of “credit enhancement” and bank recapitalisation He alsoincluded in the debt reduction 12 percentage points of GDP coming from the fact that Athens will be paying low interest rates on its official loans While this will definitely improve the country’s debt sustainability the benefit (under Sarkozy’s maths) will be spread over 10 yearsFINE PRINTThe euro zone leaders agreed to provide 109 billion euros in extra funds to Greece This money will be supplied by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) the euro zone’s bailout fundAt the same time private-sector creditors under the auspices of the Institute of International Finance (IIF) plan to contribute a gross 54 billion euros to Greece’s funding needs by mid-2014 and a further 81 billion euros between mid-2014 and end-2020 �- or 135 billion in total This contribution will come by swapping old bonds for new Greek bonds or by rolling over old bonds into new bonds when they matureThe IIF has proposed four “bond swap/rollover” options two of which would require creditors to take an immediate 20 percent haircut on the value of their bonds The other options don’t require haircuts but pay lower interest ratesAll this might seem extremely attractive for Greece if it wasn’t for the fine print of the IIF scheme This requires Greece to provide collateral to partly guarantee the new loans in a so-called “credit enhancement” The mechanism for doing this isn’t the same for all the options But to guarantee the new 30-year bonds Athens would purchase 30-year zero-coupon AAA-rated bonds A zero-coupon bond is one that pays no interest With such collateral the creditors would be sure that they would at least get their money back at the end of the period — even if Greece couldn’t pay the interest on the loansZero-coupon bonds are not as expensive to buy as normal bonds But these 30 year instruments will still cost just over 30 percent of their face value Greece will therefore need to find 42 billion euros to finance credit enhancements for the 135 billion euros of bonds covered in the IIF’s scheme according to a paper presented to the euro zone leaders at their summit Of this 35 billion would need to be found before mid-2014 The EFSF will lend Greece that money and that is the main reason why Athens’ debts will rise rather than fallThe remaining 7 billion euros of the 42 billion euros credit enhancement is expected to be required after mid-2014 because some of the debt that would be rolled over into new bonds wouldn’t come due until then Greece is expected to find that cash itselfIn addition Greece’s debts will increase because it will have to recapitalise its banks which have large holdings of their own government’s bonds The paper presented to the euro zone leaders earmarked 20 billion euros for this purpose Greece will borrow this money from the EFSF tooDEBT REDUCTIONSTwo parts of the programme will genuinely cut Greece’s debts The first is the bond swap/rollover mentioned above The IIF assumes that half of the creditors taking part will choose an option requiring a 20 percent haircut and the rest will go for no haircut If 135 billion euros of old debt is restructured in this way Athens’ debt will fall by 135 billion eurosBut not all of this will happen immediately — in the same way that not all the cost of credit enhancement will fall due immediately If one assumes that the debt reduction works to the same timetable as the credit enhancement this part of the programme would cut Greece’s borrowing by 1125 billion euros by mid-2014The other part of the programme that would cut Athens’ debts is a planned bond buyback The paper presented to leaders earmarked 20 billion euros for this purpose It assumed that Greece would be able to buy back debt in the market at 614 percent of face value That would be a premium of 954 cents to its market value With these assumptions Greece would be able to buy bonds with a face value of 326 billion euros Although it would have to borrow the 20 billion euros from the EFSF its debts would decline by 126 billion eurosThis buyback scheme has also been pushed by the IIF which argues that a premium to market prices would be required to persuade bondholders to part with their paper It also believes that this buyback is most likely to appeal to holders of very long-dated Greek bonds which will not be involved in the “bond swap” and which trade at a particularly deep discount to their face valueTOTTING IT ALL UPTo calculate the net effect of all this on Greece’s debt it is necessary to add the 35 billion euro cost of the credit enhancement and the 20 billion euros for bank recapitalisation and then subtract the 1125 billion benefit from the bond swap/rollover and the 126 billion reduction from the buyback This sum comes to 31 billion eurosThe IMF had already earmarked 16 billion euros for bank recapitalisation in its review of Greece earlier this month That means only 15 billion euros of Athens’ debt increase is unanticipated The IMF also forecast that the country’s debt/GDP ratio would peak next year at 172 percent of GDP To calculate a new debt/GDP ratio therefore it is only necessary to add the unanticipated extra debt That is what is done in the Breakingviews analysis to produce a new figure of 179 percentIt could be argued that this calculation ignores the fact that the 55 billion euros pumped into credit enhancement and bank recapitalisation haven’t vanished They are assets that will continue to sit on the Greek state’s balance sheet While that is true the IMF’s convention is to look at gross debt There’s a good reason for this Money sunk into the banks as equity can’t be quickly redeployed to pay Athens’ debts And what about the cash tied up in credit enhancement That’s an asset that Greece won’t be able to touch for 30 years and won’t pay a cent of interest in the intervening period down from $300 billion just before the 2008 crisis.
