UK to Allow Share Trading in EU Post-Brexit

November 4, 2020--The ESMA, on the other hand, wants to limit EEA company shares trading within the bloc.
The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued its guidelines on Wednesday towards the share trading obligations (STO), allowing British companies to approach European Union exchanges for share trading following the expiry of the Brexit transition period.

These guidelines from the British regulator came only over a week after its European Union counterpart released its approach towards STO post-Brexit.

The FCA highlighted that only 'mutual equivalence' would guarantee the businesses to satisfy the STO obligations in both jurisdictions. And if not, the British regulator will use the Temporary Transitional Power (TTP) to avoid disruption allowing firms to continue trading all shares on EU trading venues and systematic internalisers (SIs).

France: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2020 Article IV Mission

Economic Outlook
November 2, 2020--France has been among the most affected countries from the COVID-19 pandemic. The authorities appropriately took stringent lock-down measures in mid-March and new infections fell sharply by end-April. New COVID cases began to creep up in July. Since mid-September, new cases have exceeded the previous peak at end-March.

While hospitalizations and fatalities have remained below previous peaks, they have also been trending upwards. In response, the government introduced a new lockdown from October 30-December 1 impacting many sectors of the economy. However, schools will remain open.

The economic impact of the pandemic has been significant, but the authorities have responded with strong and flexible support measures. France suffered one of the sharpest economic contractions among EU countries, with economic activity down by nearly 19 percent (y-on-y) in 2020Q2. The current account deteriorated significantly as exports fell faster than imports

The ECB will swallow up more debt than governments can sell next year

October 29, 2020--According to analysts who forecast the European Central Bank will buy a larger amount of debt than any new bond coming onto the market, investors will not have to contribute a single euro over the next year to finance the huge budget deficits of the eurozone governments.

The draft budget plans released by EU member states earlier this month showed that deficits are expected to remain high even as economies recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to Citigroup calculations, however, the ECB's purchases will more than cover the additional cash that governments need in 2021 -even if the central bank does not increase its emergency purchase program for bonds worth EUR 1.35 billion in December as usual EUR 500 billion higher expected.
