Uncertainty over output gap and structural-balance estimates remains elevated

June 17, 2019--The EU fiscal framework strongly relies on the structural budget balance indicator, which aims to measure the 'underlying' position of the budget. But this indicator is not observed, only estimations can be made. This post shows that estimates of the European Commission, the IMF, the OECD and national governments widely differ from each other and all estimates are subject to very large annual revisions.

The EU should get rid of the fiscal rules that rely on structural balance estimates and use this opportunity to fundamentally reform its fiscal framework. The European fiscal framework involves a complex set of rules and indicators. An important indicator is the so-called structural balance of the general government, which aims to measure the underlying position of the budget balance. Its estimation tries to exclude the impact of the economic cycle (e.g. tax revenues are smaller than usual in an economic downturn) and one-off measures (like bank recapitalisation costs).

Making the Euro Area More Resilient Before the Next Recession Hits

June 17, 2019--Growth in the euro area rebounded earlier this year, but it remains fragile, while risks have increased. Now is a good time for euro area economies to strengthen their ability to weather any future economic difficulties.
A new IMF staff paper looks at the resilience of euro area countries and finds that they have had more frequent and severe recessions than other advanced economies over the past 20 years.

An even greater cause for concern is that differences between member countries' growth and unemployment rates after euro area-wide downturns have widened. This widening was most stark following the 2008 global financial crisis.

Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, May 2019

June 17, 2019--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for May. Despite these, the assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased due to the negative performance of the underlying markets. In more detail, the assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased from €746.7 bn as of April 30, 2019, to €721.6 bn at the end of May.

The decrease of €25.1 bn for May was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (-€27.4 bn), while net sales contributed inflows of €2.3 bn to assets under management in the European ETF segment.

With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising equity funds (€494.1 bn) held the majority of assets, followed by bond funds (€196.8 bn), commodity products (€18.5 bn), alternative UCITS products (€6.8 bn), money market funds (€3.6 bn), mixed-asset funds (€1.7 bn), and "other" funds (€0.1 bn).
