December 19, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, today published two articles, one outlining an approach to modelling the impact of asset price shocks from adverse scenarios involving climate-related risks, the other exploring the use of ESG controversies for the purpose of monitoring greenwashing risk.

Risk article: Dynamic modelling of climate-related shocks in the fund sector

The article presents a methodological approach to modelling climate-related shocks in the fund sector, which includes dynamic impacts, such as inflows and outflows from investors and portfolio rebalancing by managers.

Are new EU data market regulations coherent and efficient?

December 18, 2023--Technical restrictions on access to and re-use of data may result in failures in data markets and data-driven services markets. Th is paper examines three new EU data regulations (the European Health Data Space, the Data Act and the Digital Markets Act) that vary substantially in mandatory access measures intended to overcome these market failures.

It applies three economic criteria, economies of scope in re-use and in aggregation of data, and data supply-side failures, to assess the effi ciency of these regulations in overcoming market failures and coherence across regulations. Variations might be justified by particular sectoral market conditions.

IMF Staff Country Report-Ireland: Selected Issues

December 18, 2023--A. Savings Funds in Ireland
Evolution of Public Finances
1. Sound fiscal policies have contributed to healthy public finances and put Ireland in a good position to weather shocks. The solid fiscal position of recent years has enabled the authorities to conduct countercyclical fiscal policy in the face of the Covid and energy price shocks and contributed to a fast decline in public debt.

Ireland’s path of primary surpluses, except for during the GFC, is not out of line with that in some peer countries. Some countries, like Korea and New Zealand, have also established sovereign wealth funds (SWF).

2. Ireland's healthy fiscal position has been supported in recent years by a fast increase in CIT revenues, which have grown beyond what would be implied by economic fundamentals. Ireland's share of CIT in total revenue (almost 1/3) is much larger than the average of European countries in the OECD (about 6 percent) and CIT has become the second largest source of tax revenues.
