Sweden: Will COVID-19 Economics be Different?

June 4, 2020--Sweden's less restrictive containment strategy may have resulted in a milder economic contraction at the onset of the crisis, but uncertainty remains about its implications for the rest of the year.

Other factors, including falling external demand, will heavily weigh on growth. Concerns have also been raised about the country's death rate which, although lower than in Europe's worst-affected countries, is a multiple of its Nordic neighbors.

ESMA promotes convergence in the supervision of costs in UCITS and AIFs

June 4, 2020--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities markets regulator, has published today a supervisory briefing on the supervision by National Competent Authorities (NCAs) of costs applicable to Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs).

This briefing comes in response to the need to improve convergence across NCAs in the approach to undue costs.

EU-China trade and investment relations in challenging times

June 4, 2020--This report examines key aspects of the European Union-China economic relationship, including trade, investment and China's key strategic project overseas, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). We conclude that China is, and will continue to be, a major trade and investment partner for EU countries.

In this context, it seems clear that regardless of the direction of the United States-China relationship, the EU needs to explore options for fruitful co-existence with China.

Trade continues to be the least problematic aspect of the EU-China economic relationship, although challenges need to be dealt with in a number of areas.

An uncompromising budget

May 29, 2020--Apart from decisive European Central Bank measures, the EU-wide response to the COVID crisis had been rather weak until the Commission put on the table a drastically new proposal: the creation of a new recovery facility, 'Next Generation EU', that would borrow money in the name of the EU to finance EU-wide expenditures.

The changes to the proposed standard seven-year budget that primarily focuses on long-term structural issues are however generally small, and funding reductions are compensated by new funds from the recovery instrument, suggesting that an opportunity is missed to reform the EU budget.

Summary

The overall proposal has a number of useful aspects and some limitations.
Main advantages:

'Next Generation EU' financed by long-term EU borrowing would include €440 billion grants, €60 billion guarantees and €250 billion loans, in addition to the standard seven-year budget.
