September 24, 2020--The European Union's landmark recovery instrument, Next Generation EU (NGEU), will be embedded into the EU's budget. This makes sense, because the EU budget is a well-established framework and hence can be deployed readily.

But pay-outs from the EU budget are disbursed slowly to member states, partly because programmes have to be designed, approved and implemented, and must also pass various checks to ensure the proper use of EU funds.

EU financial regulators assess risks to the financial sector after the outbreak of COVID-19 and call for enhanced cooperation

September 22, 2020--The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA -ESAs) have issued their first joint risk assessment Report of the financial sector since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Report highlights how the pandemic has led to further amplified profitability concerns across the board and heightened liquidity challenges in segments of the investment fund sector.

It particularly points to economic and market uncertainty as a key challenge going forward.

The impact of the crisis on EU banks's asset quality is a key concern as significant uncertainty about the timing and size of a recovery persists. The ESAs see a risk of decoupling of financial market performance from the underlying economic activity, and , a prolonged lower for longer interest rate environment which is expected to weigh on the profitability and solvency of financial institutions, as well as contributing to the build-up of valuation risks.
