SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The global financial crisis will in no way prevent London from hosting exactly the Olympic spectacle it promised in more affluent times, London's Games chief Sebastian Coe told Reuters on Thursday.

SportsBetter still, the 2012 extravaganza can serve as an antidote to the self-interest that sparked the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression in the 1930s, the former Olympic champion added."Given that we are where we are at the moment, economically, in large part because of rather questionable, self-interested activity ... there has probably never been a better time to reaffirm the Olympic values of respect, friendship, courage, determination and equality," Coe said with evangelistic passion.Relaxed in an open-necked pink shirt, Coe's casual dress belied the zeal he exudes for sport's power to heal.Placing both hands palm down on a Singaporean cafe table, the 1980 and 1984 Olympic 1,500m champion warmed to this theme."They (Olympic values) are the very antithesis of the things that have got us to this position now.""It is an ideal time to reaffirm the timeless values of friendship, solidarity, fair play and optimism encapsulated within the Olympic spirit."I don't believe there has ever been a better moment for the Olympic movement to drive those values. Forty years ago I don't think you would have had a big discussion in a city about anything beyond 16 days of extraordinary Olympic sport. (Now) setting the sustainable and the responsible was very important."Coe said that the second key element had been bringing business partners on board almost immediately -- London officials say the Organising Committee had signed up Tier One domestic partners before the 2008 Games in Beijing and that revenue from sponsors has already surpassed 500 million pounds ($818.3 million)."It allowed us to create a financial cushion fairly early," Coe explained.

we will deliver in exactly the same way as we envisaged delivering four years ago," Coe said."The London Olympic Games project is absorbing the impact of the global economic downturn, and is on track and ahead of schedule in key areas."(Editing by Peter Rutherford) Sports. HELSINKI, July 2 (Reuters) - The severely contractingFinnish economy would take a toll on local banks' creditfundamentals, the credit rating agency Moody's said on Thursday,as it maintained a negative outlook for the Finnish bankingsystem. Up until now the Finnish banking sector -- lead by PohjolaBank (POH1S.HE) and local branches of Nordea (NDA.ST) and DanskeBank (DANSKE.CO) -- has weathered the economic storm due tominimal exposure to toxic assets and their focus on traditionalbanking activities, it said. Export-dependent Finland said earlier last month it expectedgross domestic product (GDP) to contract 6 percent in 2009, andstruck a cautious note on next year. "Given that the crisis on financial markets has now spreadextensively into the real economy, Moody's expects Finnish banksto be adversely affected," the agency said in its report. Moody's said an increase in bankruptcies was indicative ofthe weakened credit environment. Corporate bankruptcies increased 33 percent in January-Mayfrom a year ago, according to Statistics Finland.
