OECD Economic Outlook-The world economy on a tightrope

June 10, 2020--The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered the most severe recession in nearly a century and is causing enormous damage to people's health, jobs and well-being, according to the OECD's latest Economic Outlook.
As restrictions begin to ease, the path to economic recovery remains highly uncertain and vulnerable to a second wave of infections.

Strengthening healthcare systems and supporting people and businesses to help adapt to a post-Covid world will be crucial, it says.

The containment measures brought in by most governments were necessary to slow the spread of the virus and limit the death toll, but they have also closed down business activity in many sectors and caused widespread economic hardship.

Policymakers have used a vast array of exceptional measures to support healthcare systems and people's incomes, as well as to help businesses and stabilise financial markets.

Press Release: 'A new vision for Europe's capital markets'

June 10, 2020--A new vision for Europe's capital markets' has long been required and is needed now more than ever. FESE welcomes the recommendations published today by the High-Level Forum on capital markets union (HLF) in their synonymously named report.

FESE's Blueprint (May 2019): 'Capital Markets Union by 2024-A vision for Europe', which sets out 20 Principles and Policy Recommendations on how to take the Capital Markets Union (CMU) forward, and the European IPO Report (March 2020) called on policy makers to take a step back and reflect upon how we could foster a deeper and more integrated European financial system while continuing to be open to global capital markets. It also asked policy makers to re-double their efforts and take bold decisive steps to ensure the EU remained attractive to global capital and companies, whilst maintaining transparency, integrity and investor protection.

Exclusive: ECB prepares 'bad bank' plan for wave of coronavirus toxic debt

June 10, 2020-- European Central Bank officials are drawing up a scheme to cope with potentially hundreds of billions of euros of unpaid loans in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The project, which comes as Europe mobilises trillions of euros to bolster the region's economy, is aimed at shielding commercial banks from any second fallout from the crisis, if rising unemployment chokes off the income needed to repay loans.

Is the COVID-19 crisis an opportunity to boost the euro as a global currency?

June 5, 2020--The euro never challenged the US dollar, and its international status declined with the euro crisis. Faced with a US administration willing to use its hegemonic currency to extend its domestic policies beyond its borders, Europe is reflecting on how to promote it currency on the global stage to ensure its autonomy.

But promoting a more prominent role for the euro is difficult and involves far-reaching changes to the fabric of the monetary union.

The euro became an international currency when it was created two decades ago. However, the euro's internationalisation peaked as early as 2005 and it was never comparable to the US dollar. Its international status declined with the euro crisis. Faced with a US administration willing to use its hegemonic currency to extend its domestic policies beyond its borders, Europe is reflecting on how to promote actively the internationalisation of the euro, to help ensure its autonomy. But promoting a more prominent role for the euro is difficult and would involve far-reaching changes to the fabric of the monetary union.

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.

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.
