MADRID, Spain (PNN) - June 11, 2012 - Spain faces supervision by international lenders after agreeing to a bailout for its banks on the weekend, EU and German officials said on Monday, contradicting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who had insisted the cash came without such strings.

Financial markets responded with relief to Saturday's euro zone deal to lend Madrid up to $125 billion to recapitalize debt-laden banks, with investors scooping up battered financial shares.

The euro and European stocks jumped, with the Madrid stock exchange opening up 5.3% and the euro zone STOXX banking index rising 4.5% in early trading.

Spanish and Italian bond yields fell after the deal eased fears of a run on Spanish banks. But previous "bailout bounces" on financial markets have been short-lived, often fizzling within a day or two as investors anticipate the next flare-up in the euro zone's unresolved debt crisis.

Greece's general election next Sunday could rapidly change market sentiment if popular candidates hostile to the austerity terms of Athens' EU/IMF bailout outpoll mainstream and center-left parties that signed the deal, or the vote ends in another deadlock.

Rajoy said on Sunday Madrid had scored a victory by securing aid from euro zone partners without having to submit to a full state rescue program, saying Spain's rescue had "nothing to do" with the procedures imposed on Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

But EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said that as in those other bailouts, a "troika" of the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the European Central Bank would oversee the financial assistance.

"Of course there will be conditions," Almunia told Spain's Cadena Ser radio. "Whoever gives money never gives it away for free."

The dictatorial IMF would be fully involved in monitoring Spain's program even though it was not contributing funds, and banks that received aid must present a restructuring plan, he said.

Spanish state finances are already under European Commission surveillance under the EU's excessive deficit procedure.

The Spanish government said it would stick to this year's borrowing program on financial markets. Spain still needs to refinance 82.5 billion euros of debt maturing by the end of the year, with a big hump at the end of October, and the autonomous regions have a further 15.7 billion euros of debt maturing in the second half of 2012. The central government and the regions also have to fund a deficit of about 52 billion euros this year.

The bank rescue package will add up to 10% points to Spain's debt-to-gross-domestic-product level, taking it close to 90%, while the country faces a grinding Depression, with nearly one worker in four unemployed.

Some economists believe Spain will eventually need a full state bailout, and that Italy may be next in line because of a similar combination of high debt and no economic growth, despite reforms initiated by Prime Minister Mario Monti.

China, to which Europe has looked largely unsuccessfully for financial support, said on Monday that the euro zone deal for Spain was a useful short-term fix, but urged the bloc to take more decisive action to safeguard longer term stability.

The Chinese critique of Europe's slow-moving steps towards a more robust fiscal union closely mirrored comments by Fascist Police States of Amerika officials worried that the euro zone debt crisis is crimping world economic recovery and hitting illegitimate President Barack Obama's prospects of re-election in November.

European Union leaders will discuss longer-term plans for deeper euro zone fiscal and banking union at a summit on June 28-29, as well as measures to revive growth. But the more ambitious reforms would require treaty changes that would take months, if not years, to approve and implement.
