This paper explores the design and impact on public finances of a global investment plan directed at supporting post-COVID19 reconstruction efforts by investing in climate change mitigation. We analyse current macroeconomic conditions in both developed and emerging economies and, subsequently, simulate various growth scenarios and observe the impact on public debt sustainability of implementing an economic stimulus oriented towards climate change mitigation.

The bail-out of the Spanish financial system was the largest in the Eurozone. The Spanish savings banks were the main direct recipients of public support between 2010 and 2012 and most of the bail-out money was transferred to the savings banks after a series of mergers and acquisitions were completed among these entities. This article analyses the evolution of the savings banks in the years of economic growth preceding the crisis and their performance in the early aftermath of the 2007 crash using previously unexplored data from the annual financial statements of the 45 savings banks. We conclude it is possible to observe distinct behaviours among the savings banks during the boom years and we estimate the largest part of the bail-out money corresponds to losses registered by a small number of savings banks that were already severely impaired before the merger process got under way.

Este trabajo describe la evolución de las interconexiones dentro del sistema financiero español (dimensión transversal del riesgo sistémico) distinguiendo las conexiones directas y las indirectas. El análisis concluye que las interconexiones directas del sector bancario con los otros sectores son reducidas. Respecto a las indirectas, la relevancia de los sectores no bancarios ha venido aumentando (lo que puede incrementar su potencial impacto sobre la estabilidad financiera).
