Committee publishes Bank of England's updated economic analysis of Brexit
September 4, 2019--In June 2018, the Treasury Committee asked HM Treasury, the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority to produce analysis of the impact of Brexit in differing scenarios, and in good time before Parliament came to vote on the eventual Brexit deal.
Letter from Bank of England Governor to Chair
Treasury Committee
The Committee received and published the analysis in November 2018. In December, the Committee used the analysis to produce a Report on the Withdrawal Agreement. It stated that the Government had failed to provide analysis of several important scenarios, including short-term analysis of the fiscal, regional, sectoral and employment impacts of various Brexit scenarios. It concluded, therefore, that the Government's economic analysis was not fully sufficient to inform the vote in Parliament.

Esma Strengthens Liquidity Stress Tests for Investment Funds
September 2, 2019--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today its final guidance regarding liquidity stress tests of investment funds- applicable to both Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS).
ESMA's guidelines require fund managers to stress test the assets and liabilities of the funds they manage. This includes redemption requests by investors which are the most common and important source of liquidity risk and could also impact financial stability. Managers of AIFs and UCITS must be aware of the liquidity risk of the funds they manage and use stress testing as a tool to mitigate this risk.
