IMF Staff Country Report-Greece: Selected Issues

November 15, 2019--REFORMS, LABOR MARKET DYNAMICS, AND COMPETITIVENESS1
In the lead-up to the crisis, Greece's economy became increasingly uncompetitive. By 2009, the real exchange rate had appreciated significantly, and the current account deficit hit record highs. A series of program-era policies helped to partially reverse this trend, including labor market policies that cushioned the effect of the crisis on employment and brought unit labor costs broadly in line with trading partners.

However, the resulting more competitive wage structure only partly translated into price adjustments due to product market rigidities (with firms retaining some profit margin) and rising non-wage cost factors (e.g., taxes and financing costs). This incomplete internal devaluation and subsequent low productivity gains reinforce the view that Greece has further to go to address its external imbalances.

Europe Must Focus on Creating Strong, Shared and Resilient Growth to Safeguard Against the Worst Impacts of Sudden Economic Shocks

November 13, 2019--European Union member states must strengthen their institutions for resilient growth to shield against economic crises, protect the most vulnerable and ensure incomes can rebound quickly, says a new World Bank report.
The latest European Union Regular Economic Report-entitled Including Institutions-outlines priorities for countries to most effectively respond in the event of an unexpected downturn.

Three critical factors are identified. First, countries must secure strong overall growth, both at the country level and in lagging regions. Second, the benefits of growth-jobs and incomes-must be shared among all citizens. Third, growth must be resilient so that incomes, if hit hard, can quickly rebound.

GraniteShares enters the UK Market offering short and leveraged single stock daily ETPs with Solactive Indices

November 12, 2019--GraniteShares, the U.S. based ETF provider, has entered the European market with a platform of short and leveraged single stock daily Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) for major companies, all of which are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The ETPs track indices taken from Solactive’s new Single Stock Leverage Index Family exclusively.

Products on leveraged indices have been rising in popularity, growing from USD 2.4 bn in assets under management in 2006 to a substantial amount of USD 75.5 bn at the end of September 2019. Primarily, this development owes its popularity to the increasingly fast-changing nature of markets: a constantly growing interweaving of international stock markets in light of an ever more globalized world economy often results in higher market volatility, which sparks the necessity for more frequent tactical repositioning of portfolios and the ability to hedge stock risk in broad index and active funds exposures alike.

Brexit 'Paralysis' Leads Moody's to Lower Outlook on U.K. Debt

November 9, 2019--The ratings company cited little prospect for reduction in government spending, though investors remain sanguine, with U.K. interest rates not far from record lows

Moody's Investors Service lowered its outlook on the U.K.'s debt rating, saying the country's handling of Brexit has shown its once robust public institutions are at risk of losing their predictability and cohesiveness.

The ratings company cited the "increasing inertia and, at times, paralysis that has characterized the Brexit-era policy-making process" in stamping a negative outlook on the country's rating.

European Commission-Autumn 2019 Economic Forecast: A challenging road ahead

November 7, 2019--The European economy is now in its seventh consecutive year of growth and is forecast to continue expanding in 2020 and 2021. Labour markets remain strong and unemployment continues to fall. However, the external environment has become much less supportive and uncertainty is running high. This is particularly affecting the manufacturing sector, which is also experiencing structural shifts.

As a result, the European economy looks to be heading towards a protracted period of more subdued growth and muted inflation.

Euro area gross domestic product (GDP) is now forecast to expand by 1.1% in 2019 and by 1.2% in 2020 and 2021. Compared to the Summer 2019 Economic Forecast (published in July), the growth forecast has been downgraded by 0.1 percentage point in 2019 (from 1.2%) and 0.2 percentage points in 2020 (from 1.4%). For the EU as a whole, GDP is forecast to rise by 1.4% in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The forecast for 2020 was also revised down compared to the summer (from 1.6%).
