金融翻译：法国南特人民银行公布二季度亏损

Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Natixis SA, the French bank seeking 3.7 billion euros ($5.5 billion) in new capital, reported a second-quarter loss that exceeded analysts' estimates on writedowns tied to struggling U.S. bond insurers.

彭博社8月28日 ―― 正在寻求37亿欧元（55亿美元）融资的法国南特人民银行（Natixis），今日表示其二季度亏损超过预期，原因为相关美国证券保险商陷入困境，引致资产减记。

Natixis fell as much as 7.6 percent in Paris trading today after the company posted a net loss of 1.02 billion euros, compared with the 669 million-euro median loss estimate of nine analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.

南特今天公布遭受10.2亿欧元的净亏损。此消息发布后，南特在巴黎交易所的股价大跌7.6％。此前彭博社调查的九位分析师对南特的预期损失中值为6.69亿欧元。

The bank reported 1.51 billion euros of markdowns in the second quarter and said it plans to scale back risk at the investment banking division and review the pace of the unit's international development. Shareholders will meet tomorrow in Paris to authorize the rights offer aimed at replenishing reserves. Larger Paris-based rival Credit Agricole SA reported a 94 percent drop in profit today.

南特公布的二季度减记额度为15.1亿欧元。南特表示其计划缩减投资银行业务，并将重审该业务部门的全球扩张速度。南特明日将于巴黎召开股东会，目的是通过配股决议，为财库注入资金。南特的强劲对手——总部位于巴黎的法国农业信贷银行（Credit Agricole SA），今天公布利润大跌94％。

``Both banks grew too fast in corporate and investment banking,' ' Alain Tchibozo, a Paris-based analyst at ING Wholesale Banking said by phone. ``The two companies will have to restructure their investment banks very deeply.''

“这两家银行的对公业务和投资银行业务增长过快，”就职于荷兰国家集团批发银行部的巴黎分析师Alain Tchibozo在电话中表示。“它们得深度重组投资银行部。”

Natixis was down 39 cents, or 6.9 percent, to 5.30 euros by 9:30 a.m. in Paris, bringing declines this year to 60 percent. The stock dropped yesterday after French daily La Tribune said the bank may sell shares at a discount of 30 percent to 40 percent, or even more, to ensure the success of the rights offer.

截至巴黎时间早上九点三十分，南特股价跌39分，或6.9％，至5.30欧元。今年以来该股票价格已大幅缩水60％。根据法国论坛报昨日报道，南特或会以30％－40％的折扣，甚至更优惠的折扣价格发售新股，以确保配股的成功。此报道的公布立刻引发南特股价的跳水。
