IMF Staff Country Report-France: Financial System Stability Assessment

July 24, 2019--Summary:
Important institutional and policy changes have taken place since the 2012 FSAP. At the national level, the authorities have strengthened the macroprudential framework by establishing the High Council for Financial Stability (HCSF), enhanced monitoring of financial stability risks, prepared to manage the Brexit fall-out, introduced macroprudential measures, and taken various financial reform measures included in Loi PACTE-Action Plan for Business Growth and Transformation-and initiatives on digital finance, crypto-assets, green finance, and combating cyber risk

At the European level, significant changes include the Banking Union (BU), Capital Requirements Regulation/Capital Requirements Directive (CRR/CRD), Solvency II, and efforts towards a Capital Markets Union (CMU). The financial system is more resilient than it was in 2012. Capital positions and asset quality have improved. Banking business is better placed to handle cross-border contagion, including from exposures to high-yield EA economies. Insurers' solvency ratios have been stable and have been bolstered by the effective implementation of Solvency II. Household savings and balance sheets are relatively sound and house prices presently appear broadly aligned with fundamentals.

Five Charts on France's Economic Outlook

July 23, 3019--France's economic performance has been solid, and the authorities have made notable progress in recent years to introduce reforms supporting growth. But external risks have increased and some domestic structural challenges remain. France needs to stay the course on reforms, deepening and complementing them with additional measures to bolster economic resilience, public finance sustainability, and inclusive long-term potential growth.

The following five charts illustrate the IMF's latest annual economic assessment for France and the key policy recommendations.

Outlook: After the French economy expanded by 2.3 percent in 2017, growth declined to 1.7 percent last year, due to slowing global growth and some one-off domestic factors. Still, economic activity remained relatively more resilient compared to France's peers, and the labor market continued to improve gradually.

It found that, while credit rating agencies (CRAs) are considering ESG factors in their ratings, the extent of their consideration can vary significantly across asset classes, according to each CRA's methodology.

ECB-Account of the monetary policy meeting

Of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank, held in Vilnius on Wednesday and Thursday, 5-6 June 2019 July 11, 2019--1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Mr Cœuré reviewed the latest financial market developments.
Since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 9-10 April 2019, US trade negotiations with both China and Mexico had progressively deteriorated, negatively impacting global equity markets and pushing equity risk premia higher.

Bond yields had declined to multi-year lows. In foreign exchange markets, the euro and the US dollar had appreciated in nominal effective terms, reflecting mainly the weakness in emerging market currencies and, in particular, the Chinese renminbi. At the same time, the euro had continued its gradual depreciation against the US dollar, a trend observed since the start of 2018 that likely related to changes in the relative growth outlook.
