Co-signing for banks' risky loans could exceed Nationalbanken's mandate and leave state short on funds In what experts are calling an "undemocratic" manoeuvre, the central bank, Nationalbanken, has unveiled a wide-ranging initiative aimed at shoring up the banking industry. The move, however, could leave the state with a multi-billion kroner bill on its hands. The initiative, which would expand banks' collateral basis as a way to improve their access to liquidity, will come into effect on October 1. Industry experts fear that once it is in place, Nationalbanken could find itself taking over responsibility for bank's shaky loans. * Fraud squad begin investigation into suspicious buyback of 265 million kroners worth of shares in 2008. The Danish fraud squad raided Parken Sport & Entertainment, owners of FC Copenhagen, on Tuesday as they started investigating suspicions of insider trading by the company. Flemming �stergaard, the company's former chairman, also had his home in Skodsborg raided by the fraud squad, who were looking for evidence of stock manipulation while he was at the company. * Bank intends to cut workforce mainly through voluntary redundancies. Danish bank Nordea intends to fire 2,000 employees across Scandinavia by the end of 2012. The move will is expected to cost about 650 Danes their jobs. The bank made the announcement today, stating that the job cuts were necessary in order to maintain profitability. * Disappointing financial results open Pandora's Box for jewelry company; new leadership and marketing plan to come. The release of the latest financial results for Danish jewelry company Pandora caused a shocking 70 percent drop in stock prices at the opening of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange on Tuesday. CEO Mikkel Vendelin Olesen's resignation was announced shortly afterwards. "Although our price increases combined with some destocking are significant contributors to our slowdown in sales and profitability," Allan Leighton, Pandora's chairman of the board, said in a press statement, "our own inadequate operational sales and marketing execution is as big a factor." * Follow the news on the Danish Culture events in Estonia at Facebook - click here. * Follow the news on the Danish-Estonian Chamber of Commerce at Facebook - click here. |
