ESMA Publishes The Final Report On MIFIR Alignments following the Introduction of EMIR Refit

February 7, 2020--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has today published a final report suggesting amendments to the trading obligation under MiFIR following the introduction of EMIR Refit.

The recent changes introduced to EMIR via Refit modify the scope of counterparties subject to the clearing obligation-exemption for small financial counterparties and modified determination of non-financial counterparties. The introduction of EMIR Refit has not been accompanied by direct amendments to MiFIR, which currently leads to a misalignment between the scope of counterparties subject to the clearing obligation (CO) under EMIR and the derivatives trading obligation (DTO) under MiFIR.

ESMA updates on progress on compliance with the MiFIR pre-trade transparency requirements in commodity derivatives

February 7, 2020--ESMA has today published a statement to provide an update on the implementation of the supervisory briefing on pre-trade transparency in commodity derivatives.
The Supervisory Briefing was developed after ESMA became aware that the requirements were not implemented in a consistent manner across the European Union.

It aims to increase supervisory convergence among national competent authorities (NCAs) in their implementation of the requirements and to provide a common timetable for the enforcement of the commodity derivatives pre-trade transparency regime, with the objective of ensuring a level playing field across EU trading venues.

From climate change to cyber-attacks: incipient financial-stability risks for the euro area

February 6, 2020--The European Central Bank's November 2019 Financial Stability Review highlighted the risks to growth in an environment of global uncertainty. On the whole, the ECB report is comprehensive and covers the main risks to euro-area financial stability, we highlight issues that deserve more attention.

First, the assessment of risks in the housing market should be more nuanced. Current housing markets relative to those pre-crisis seem to be far less driven by mortgage credit, and the size of the construction sector has not increased. This is possibly good news for financial stability because a house price correction would transmit less into mortgage defaults and corrections to economic activity.

Second, there should be greater emphasis on changes in market expectations of interest rates, which can have substantial effects on asset prices. This could be particularly relevant if interest rate changes are not driven by real-economy developments.

Climate risks to European banks: a new era of stress tests

February 4, 2020--Several European central banks have begun assessing the impact of adverse climate scenarios on banks' capital. Comparable work at EU or euro area level has evolved more slowly. Supervisors need build up a distinct and more complex type of analysis, and should engage with banks now.

The release of a proposed methodology for assessing climate risks within UK banks and insurers by the Bank of England just before Christmas has fuelled calls for a similar 'climate stress test' for European banks.
