2 NEWS A secure information system to ensure business continuity The banking regulations (CRBF 24-2)applicable to the AFT under the Cost of Debt Service and State s Cash Position programme require to have a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), as investment services providers do. For the AFT, this BCP has three components: - local assistance to minimise downtime when incidents arise through equipment redundancy (power supplies, air-conditioning systems, telecoms servers and lines), - close assistance to overcome any risk of temporary unavailability of the main site, - remote regional assistance primarily intended to deal with major disasters. This regional assistance includes technical hosting at the National Security Site of the Public Finances General Directorate (DGFiP), as well as a recovery site for users which is hosted by the DGFiP s computer department located in Tours. 29 was also the year in which the agency s Business Continuity Plan was adapted to take account of the risk posed by the influenza A(H1N1)v pandemic. For this purpose, the agency adopted the secure telecommuting solution made available to the staff of the Ministry for the Economy, Industry and Employment. In just a few weeks, it installed equipment that enabled its staff members to work from home, as and when necessary, with optimal security.

6 TRIBUNE Euro zone: bond issuance programmes well advanced By Mathilde Lemoine, Economist, HSBC Governments ran up debt in order to limit the effects of the financial crisis on economic activity and to support the banks. In 29, euro zone gross issuance amounted to 876 billion and interest rates stayed at their lows. In 21, and apart from stimulus packages, automatic stabilisers could mean higher overall government borrowing. According to HSBC Global Fixed Income Strategy calculations, gross issuance could amount to 989 billion this year, mainly because of increased supply from the major euro zone countries. Variation of Euro area Government Debt Securities outstanding, Bln, Bln Autres pays France Allemagne Italie Espagne Zone euro Source : EFFA,Bloomberg, HSBC. 21: HSBC Global Fixed Income Strategy forecast Total issuance could increase by 4% in Germany, 12% excluding buybacks in France (% with buybacks) and 11% in Italy. Austria may step up its own issuance by 17%. Taken together, other euro zone countries will issue about as much in 21 as they did in 29, but that owes a great deal to a 27% decline in supply from Ireland and a 9% drop in Spain. These amounts and recent developments might have unnerved the bond market last year, but it remains liquid and all euro zone countries, with the exception of Greece in recent weeks, have been able to issue as much as they needed so far this year. Indeed, the aggregate euro zone issuance programme is already well advanced. By 2 May, 41% of it had been completed, which is more or less in line with where we were at the same point in 29. Spain and Italy have already covered 41% and 34%, respectively, of their issuance planned for 21, while Germany is at 43%. France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland have completed at least half of their programmes (% in the case of France). Despite everything, Greece has succeeded in issuing 18 billion so far this year, but of course will no longer need to tap the market directly in 21. The 7 billion EU-IMF plan and fresh intervention on the part of the European Central Bank is also intended to reduce the risks of refinancing difficulties for other countries, notably the peripherals. Within this total, the first 6 billion to be disbursed will be made up of loans financed with bond issues to which all EU countries will affix their signatures. The IMF will add 3 billion to this first mechanism. If it needs to be complemented, euro zone countries will establish a special investment vehicle for a 3-year period that they will guarantee and that could raise up to 44 billion, to which the IMF could add up to 22 billion. The interest rates on the loans are likely to be determined in the same way as those in the Greek aid plan. Lastly, structural factors point to robust demand for government bonds, notably new prudential rules for banks and insurers, increased savings on the part of European households and purchases by emerging country central banks. All these factors and recent developments suggest the euro zone s issuance programme will be completed. At the same time, investors appetite for the securities deemed the soundest and the most liquid, such as German and French bonds, will probably keep intra-european spreads high NB: this Agence France Trésor forum offers economists an opportunity to express their personal opinion.
