State ordered AIB and BoI to prop up Anglo
Sunday, August 09, 2009 By David Clerkin, Markets Correspondent
The government ordered AIB and Bank of Ireland to give up to €8 billion in emergency funding to Anglo Irish Bank in the weeks leading up to the ailing bank’s nationalisation in January, The Sunday Business Post has learned.

Correspondence between the European Commission and the government, seen by this newspaper, revealed that the deal was one of a number of measures used to prop up Anglo as it struggled to fund itself in the wholesale banking market.

‘‘Other measures being put in place to enhance the liquidity position of the bank [Anglo] going forward include .. . additional undrawn committed facilities from two credit institutions,” said the correspondence, which was dated early January.

So did they actually give Anglo the €8 billion in addition to the €10 billion "master loan repurchase" that the Central Bank gave Anglo at exactly the same time?

And if so, was the €8 billion repaid?

I think the order was made before September 2008 so if you hang around for 30 years you may get an answer.

Well presumably this is why Irish Life and Anglo engaged in the circular deposits to enhance Anglo's balance sheet.

Should the government interfere in the Market in this manner?

Surely if any FFer/DOF staff or their spouse held Anglo/bank shares and knew about this they could be in trouble.

I wouldn't classify this as interfering it is illegal IMO.

It is not illegal. It was a loan. The Permanent TSB transaction was not illegal except for the fact that Anglo used false accounting rather than disclose what the money actually was, a loan

Get on those Green Jerseys quick.

When you are at the triple crown match tomorrow have a look and see whether the AIB/BOI/Anglo/inbs/ebs/Permanent TSB corporate boxes are full

Not if the sole purpose of the transactions was to deceive.

What they knew and when

Neary retired a few weeks ago after huge pressure was heaped on him over the Sean FitzPatrick loans scandal. The internal audit report from Anglo suggests Neary not only approved of support schemes to help Irish banks bolster their deposits, but he did not seem concerned about the possible methods. A potentially damaging quotation is ascribed to Neary in the report, congratulating Willie McAteer, an Anglo official on his plans to "manage" the bank's balance sheet. "Fair play to you, Willie," Neary is alleged to have said. Neary retired before the latest controversy about the deposits erupted.

One document recalls a conversation last September when the bank’s then finance director Willie McAteer told the then financial regulator Patrick Neary that he would be "managing" the bank’s balance sheets. The document records Mr Neary’s response as "Fair play to you, Willie." Mr McAteer resigned and Mr Neary retired since the extent of the now nationalised bank’s problems came to light late last year.

A separate transcript of a phone call between the bank and the regulator’s office records bank officials explaining what they were doing to "manipulate our balance sheet" and make sure it "looks as good as possible" to which a regulator’s official replies: "OK, that’s grand."
