ECB-Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank held in Frankfurt am Main

On Wednesday and Thursday, 22-23 January 2020
February 20, 2020--1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel reviewed the latest financial market developments.

The period since the Governing Council's monetary policy meeting on 11-12 December 2019 had been marked by three major events: the year-end, the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and the signing of the "phase-one" trade agreement between the United States and China. The trade agreement appeared to be the most significant, as it had helped consolidate the general improvement in market sentiment that had gained momentum in early September 2019. Expectations that monetary policy would remain highly accommodative, both in the United States and in the euro area, further supported the improved market sentiment.

ESMA finds continued high risks as financial markets remain highly volatile

February 19, 2020--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities regulator, today publishes the first Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities (TRV) report of 2020 . ESMA identifies continued high risks and a weaker economic outlook as markets remain highly sensitive to geopolitical events. The risk outlook is stable, however risks are high, particularly in the securities markets and for retail investors.

This TRV is the first report since the entry into force of the new ESA Regulation on 1 January 2020 and, in line with ESMA's new mandate, includes new sections about sustainable finance and consumer protection.

Risk outlook is stable, with an increase in potential sources of financial risk
Market risk remained very high in the second half of 2019, due to excessive asset valuations in the context of weaker growth prospects, looser monetary policy and continuing uncertainties such as those on Brexit and on US-China trade relations. Equity markets experienced recurring episodes of volatility and bond spreads tightened in signs of continuing search-for-yield. Markets remained highly sensitive to events, as was visible in reactions to recent oil price shocks and the US repo squeeze;
