Oct 13, 2011 2:40 PM GMT+0100 .
Slovakia will approve Europes enhanced bailout fund today or tomorrow, completing the ratification process across the 17 euro countries as the regions leaders prepare for a summit this month.

Lawmakers began meeting at 3 p.m. Bratislava time to vote on a motion to hold early elections on March 10. Prime Minister Iveta Radicovas SDKU party agreed to bring up the vote by more than two years in exchange for opposition support for the European Financial Stability Facility after parliament failed to approve the measures on Oct. 11. No time has been set for the vote on changing the election date, nor on the EFSF.

Enhancing the powers of the EFSF, the temporary bailout fund, is crucial for adopting the key element in the strategy to prevent contagion from the debt crisis that has spread from Greece to other countries in the region. European Commission President Jose Barroso yesterday called for a reinforcement of crisis-hit banks, the payout of a sixth loan to Greece and a faster start for a permanent rescue fund to ease debt woes.

The second vote in Slovakia will pave the way for the EFSF, however, that does not constitute a solution, Lutz Karpowitz, an analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, wrote in an e-mailed note. The EFSF would still be too small to support countries like Italy or Spain should the necessity arise. The recent recovery of the euro seems to have gone rather far considering the news flow.

gonna be a strong finish!

LONDON (Reuters) - Barclays is looking at four Spanish cajas, or small savings banks, as a way of bolstering its position in the country's fragmented retail banking industry, the Sunday Telegraph reported.

The newspaper, without citing sources, said Barclays was one of eight domestic and international banks to have made a first-round bid for Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo.

It is also in the early stages of looking at a further three cajas, including Novacaixagalicia, the Telegraph added.

The newspaper said if Barclays could not gain traction in the Spanish market it could choose to exit the country.

personally i would prefer barc to exit spain - barc i am told are unofficially carrying out high level risk assessments for these spanish retail opps, and not just barcs - is the risk worth it is what they are trying to conclude - it is also well known that the spaniards might not play with a straight bat books wise so it is being treated with extreme caution - unless you are shorting chatter is it might send sp wrong way!!! = kerrrrrrchinnnnnngggggggg & yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa & gla
