Berlusconi vows reforms, wants early election
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Wednesday confirmed he would resign after implementing urgent economic reforms demanded by the European Union, and said Italy must then hold an election, in which he would not stand.
“We have to give Europe and the world an urgent, strong signal that we are taking things seriously,” he told a morning television show by phone.
After failing to secure a majority in a vote in the lower house on Tuesday night, Berlusconi said he would quit as soon as parliament passed budget reforms to help Italy stave off a debt crisis that is threatening the entire euro zone.
Berlusconi, who has been under pressure to resign for weeks as markets pummelled Italy, also said his decision to resign was “a gesture of responsibility” to the country.
But he said he was opposed to any form of transitional or national unity government – which the opposition and many on the markets favour – and that an early election was the only alternative.
Markets showed little or no relief that a man they saw as an obstacle to economic reform planned to leave office.
The yield on Italy’s 10-year benchmark bonds rose sharply to near 7.00 percent, a level widely seen as unsustainable at which Portugal, Greece and Ireland were forced to seek a bailout. Italy’s FTSE MIB index fell 3.0 percent.
Alfano proposed
In a separate interview with La Stampa newspaper, Berlusconi said he saw an election being held at the start of February and that PDL party secretary and former justice minister Angelino Alfano would be the centre-right’s candidate for prime minister.
“I will resign as soon as the (budget) law is passed, and, since I believe there is no other majority possible, I see elections being held at the beginning of February and I will not be a candidate in them,” he told La Stampa newspaper.
Berlusconi’s delayed resignation is highly unusual in Italy and several leftwing newspapers suggested he might be playing for time and would not eventually step down. But he gave a string of interviews on Wednesday underlining that he would resign.
Commentators said the fact that President Giorgio Napolitano had announced the resignation plan in an official statement would make if extremely difficult for Berlusconi to renege. They suggested his priority now was to keep his centre-right coalition in power.
Votes on the economic reforms in both houses of parliament are likely this month. Opposition leaders may try to bring them forward in order to end as soon as possible the flamboyant billionaire media tycoon’s 17-year dominance of Italian politics.
Worries about the Berlusconi government’s ability to implement reforms to boost Italy’s sluggish growth and cut its huge debt have helped fuel a rise in Italy’s borrowing costs to unsustainable levels, weighing on the euro and stock markets.
Global equity markets and the euro rose after Berlusconi’s decision on hopes that a new leader will act more aggressively to tackle the crisis in the euro zone’s third largest economy, which is jeopardising Europe’s single currency project.
Consultations
Napolitano said he would start consultations with all political parties after the new budget measures were approved.
When a government is defeated or resigns, it is the president’s duty to appoint a new leader to try to build a majority in parliament, or call an election.
Pier Luigi Bersani, leader of the opposition centre-left Democratic Party, repeated a proposal to form a transitional government spanning the political spectrum.
Berlusconi and his closest allies a government of technocrats – an option favoured by markets and, it is thought, Napolitano — would be an undemocratic “coup” against the 2008 election result.
EU inspectors were due to arrive in Rome on Wednesday to begin a monitoring mission aimed at ensuring economic reforms are carried out as part of an agreement reached at a G20 summit last week.
Even when Berlusconi goes, there is no guarantee that reforms will be quickly implemented, and relief on markets may not last long.
The cost of using Italian bonds to raise funds rose after the clearing house LCH.Clearnet SA increased the margin Italian debt.
When LCH.Clearnet took similar action on Portuguese and Irish debt as bond yields soared, it added to selling pressure on the paper. Both countries were later forced to seek bailouts.
Dynegy Holdings files for bankruptcy
US-based electricity company Dynegy said that its Dynegy Holdings unit and four of its wholly owned subsidiaries had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late on Monday.
The Houston power producer reached an agreement with some of its bondholders to complete a debt restructuring of around $1.4bn. The deal would be completed by August 2012 via a court-endorsed bankruptcy scheme.
The group’s court petition showed that Dynegy holds assets worth around $13.77bn, while its debt is estimated at about $6.18bn.
Dynegy last year announced a $234m net loss for 2010 after a drop in electricity prices following a slump in the US economy. At the start of November the group missed a $43.8m interest payment and began discussing debt load management with various bondholders.

Anglo American ups De Beers stake for $5.1bn
Mining giant Anglo American has agreed to purchase Oppenheimer family’s 40 percent stake in diamond minor De Beers for $5.1bn in cash.
The deal with CHL Group, which represents the Oppenheimer family interest, will raise Anglo American’s share in the globe’s largest diamond company to up to 85 percent.
Under the current agreement Botswana, the globe’s top diamond producing nation, has pre-emption rights over CHL shares and could raise its ownership to 25 percent if it wanted to exercise its rights in full.
Cynthia Carroll, CEO at Anglo American, said: “This transaction is a unique opportunity for Anglo American to consolidate control of the world’s leading diamond company, De Beers. Today’s announcement marks our commitment to an industry with highly attractive long term supply and demand fundamentals. Underpinned by the security of supply offered by a new 10-year sales agreement with our partner, the Government of the Republic of Botswana, this forms a compelling proposition.”
Nicky Oppenheimer noted: “This has been a momentous and difficult decision as my family has been in the diamond industry for more than 100 years and part of De Beers for over 80 years. After careful and deliberate consideration of the offer, and what is in the best interests of the family, we unanimously agreed to accept Anglo American’s offer.”

Russia to join WTO; aid to Athens suspended
Late on Wednesday Russia reached an agreement with Georgia on a bilateral trade deal which will open the door for Moscow’s entry into the World Trade Organisation, said the country’s key negotiator Maxim Medvedkov.
The talks ended Russia’s 18-year wait to join the WTO. Moscow’s main hurdle had been coming to an agreement with Georgia following a five-day war between the nations in 2008.
The final clash had been over how to deal with Georgia’s breakaway provinces, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
According to the World Bank, entry to the WTO could add up to three percent of Russia’s economy in the medium term and up to 11 percent in the long-term. The WTO accounts for around 97 percent of world trade.
Meanwhile, European leaders have given Greece an ultimatum on the euro. A Greek referendum will take place in five weeks to decide on its Euro membership. A halt has been put on further aid by troika until after the referendum.
Greeks to consider Europe bailout plan
Greece’s Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou remained determined on Wednesday to consult his people on the European rescue package that was reached at last week’s EU summit.
Papandreou told parliament that “the referendum will be a clear mandate and strong measure inside and outside Greece on our course in Europe and our participation in the euro.”
The deal offers Greece a 50 percent write down of international bank debt, however it would continue to face a draconian austerity programme, and will be left owing 120 percent GDP.
The decision to take the bailout plan to the voters has shocked European leaders who are expected to meet with the Greek premier later on Wednesday ahead of the G20 summit in Cannes.
Nomura plans $1.2bn cost cut after 3Q $590m loss
Tokyo-based investment bank Nomura Holdings on Tuesday announced a larger than anticipated quarterly loss, according to a company statement.
The country’s largest brokerage by revenue posted a $590m net loss in the three-month period ending September. It announced that it is to increase its original $400m cost cutting target to $1.2bn which will lead to job losses and a setback to its overseas expansion plans.
Nomura’s first loss in ten quarters was blamed on unstable market conditions in Europe and the decline in income from trading, investment banking, and business oversees.
Sarkozy aide: No China concessions to invest in EFSF
Europe will not offer China concessions in exchange for contributions to the eurozone’s beefed-up bailout fund, an advisor to French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday.
Eurozone leaders agreed in Brussels last week that emerging nations, led by China, could put money in a special purpose vehicle within the EFSF fund to help increase its firepower.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has said that China would have a “major role to play” in resolving the euro zone’s debt crisis, was accused over the weekend by political opponents at home of selling out Europe’s future to foreign powers.
“It is out of the question to negotiate counterparties. If China comes, it’s to invest in a fund that will play an important role in global stability,” presidential advisor Henri Guaino told Europe 1 radio.
The head of the EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility), Klaus Regling, was in Tokyo after trying to drum up support for the fund from Japan after he courted China.
China declined to commit at the weekend to putting cash into the mooted special purpose vehicle, and Japan told Regling on Monday only that it would continue to buy EFSF bonds.
Guaino said China’s interest in helping Europe to resolve its debt crisis was a positive signal.
“It’s a rather good sign, it shows that everyone really feels concerned and everyone wants to avoid a global catastrophe… I don’t understand the criticisms we are hearing from all sides, it is absurd,” he said.
The prospect of China contributing to the EFSF was still subject to negotiation, while leaders would also discuss the option of emerging nations contributing to the EFSF via the International Monetary Fund at a G20 summit this week in Cannes.
France is scheduled to hold a presidential election in around six months.
