Frankfurt, Germany The central banks of the wealthiest countries, trying to prevent a debt crisis in Europe from exploding into a global panic, swept in Wednesday to shore up the world financial system by making it easier for banks to borrow American dollars. Stock markets around the world roared their approval. The Dow Jones industrial average rose almost 500 points, its best day in two and a half years. Stocks climbed 5 percent in Germany and more than 4 percent in France. Central banks will make it cheaper for commercial banks in their countries to borrow dollars, the dominant currency of trade. It was the most extraordinary coordinated effort by the central banks since they cut interest rates together in October 2008, at the depths of the financial crisis. But while it should ease borrowing for banks, it does little to solve the underlying problem of mountains of government debt in Europe, leaving markets still waiting for a permanent fix. European leaders gather next week for a summit on the debt crisis. The European Central Bank, which has been reluctant to intervene to stop the growing crisis on its own continent, was joined in the decision by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the central banks of Canada, Japan and Switzerland. “The purpose of these actions is to ease strains in financial markets and thereby mitigate the effects of such strains on the supply of credit to households and businesses and so help foster economic activity,” the central banks said in a joint statement. China, which has the largest economy in the world after the European Union and the United States, reduced the amount of money its banks are required to hold in reserve, another attempt to free up cash for lending. The display of worldwide coordination was meant to restore confidence in the global financial system and to demonstrate that central banks will do what they can to prevent a repeat of 2008. That fall, fear gripped the financial system after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a storied American investment house. Banks around the world severely restricted lending to each other. The global credit freeze panicked investors and triggered a crash in stock markets.

Središnje banke ključnih svjetskih gospodarstava poduzele su u srijedu koordinirane mjere kako bi ublažile manjak likvidnosti u svjetskom financijskom sustavu Europska središnja banka (ECB), američka središnja banka Fed, britanska središnja Bank of England (BoE) i središnje banke Kanade, Japana i Švicarske dogovorile su da će za pola postotnog boda sniziti cijenu privremenih dolarskih zajmova bankama. Nova niža kamata primjenjivat će se od ponedjeljka u svim operacijema središnjih banaka, navodi se u zajedničkom priopćenju. Najavljene su i mjere koje bi komercijalnim bankama trebale osigurati pristup gotovini u bilo kojoj valuti ako to budu zahtijevale prilike na tržištu, kroz uspostavu privremene mreže recipročnih aranžmana valutne razmjene među središnjim bankama. Cilj je tih mjera osigurati likvidnost u svjetskom financijskom sustavu, navodi se u priopćenju središnjih banaka. U uvjetima naglog širenja europske dužničke krize svjetski financijski sustav počeo je pokazivati znakove nove krize likvidnosti, nalik onoj koja je uslijedila nakon sloma američke investicijske banke Lehman Brothers. Mogućnost da jedna ili više europskih vlada objave insolventnost potpirila je strah od šoka u svjetskom financijskom sustavu koji bi uzrokovao teške gubitke u bankama, recesiju u Sjedinjenim Državama i Europi i još jednu krizu na tržištima kredita. - Sviđa vam se članak?
