MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
The year 2012 brought with it a number
which we have been immersed for the past
of shake-ups on the economic and social
several years.
fronts. In the first half of the year there was a
sovereign debt crisis of alarming proportions
in the peripheral economies which came
to call into question the foundation of
the European Union and the euro itself.
There were threats of potential rescues for

important countries such as Italy or Spain
and the resulting turmoil in its risk premium,
which reached levels 600 points above that
of German bonds.
In Spain we experienced an extensive
restructuring of the financial system, with
special repercussions on the savings banks,
the majority of which were nationalized
or absorbed by other savings banks. The
Eurogroup agreement which conceded lines
of credit up to 100 billion euros to facilitate
the restructuring of the banking sector
and the creation of a so-called “bad bank”

that was necessary to stabilize the situation
and eliminate uncertainty to guarantee the
continuity of the euro. More recent events,
such as the rescue of Cyprus, have produced
renewed uncertainty and cast doubt on
whether the European crisis has been
completely harnessed. Without wishing to
be overly optimistic, we can firmly assert,
however, that in the course of 2012 there
was a turning point in the evolution of the
deep economic and financial recession in
