ECB-Meeting of 13-14 September 2023

October 12, 2023--1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel noted that, since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 26-27 July 2023, investors' growth outlook for the euro area and for the United States had continued to diverge, widening the gap in both nominal and real yields between the two economies and driving the euro lower against the dollar.

Despite the expected deceleration in the euro area's growth momentum, market expectations for inflation in the medium and longer term had edged up further. Torn between the perception of a weakening euro area economy and stubborn inflation, expectations for the peak deposit facility rate and the shape of the forward rate curve had remained broadly unchanged.

ESMA assesses market developments in DeFi and explores the smart contracts system

October 11, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets and securities regulator, today publishes two articles on decentralised finance (DeFi), one on developments and risks in the EU market and another on a methodology for the categorisation of smart contracts. These articles highlight important risks to consumers, new forms of market abuse, and possible vulnerabilities to financial stability.

DeFi: developments and risks in the EU market

The article on DeFi developments and risks in the EU shows that DeFi raises serious risks to investor protection, because of the highly speculative nature of many DeFi arrangements and important operational and security vulnerabilities. Risks to financial stability are not meaningful at this point owing to DeFi’s small size but require monitoring. In addition, DeFi's unique features have led to new market manipulation issues that need to be addressed.

ESMA provides analysis on issuers' potential benefits from an ESG pricing effect

October 6, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets and securities regulator, today publishes an article on the European sustainable debt market, analysing the existence of an ESG pricing effect ('the Greenium') across different types of sustainable-abelled debt instruments.

In the article, ESMA notes that it cannot confirm a systematic pricing benefit for any ESG-labelled debt type as of March 2023. However, issuers of ESG bonds did benefit from a statistically significant pricing in the past driven by their issuer-level ESG credentials.

Economic Activity in Europe and Central Asia Improves but Growth Lags Pre-Pandemic Levels

October 5, 2023--Economic growth for the emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) of the Europe and Central Asia region has been revised up to 2.4% for 2023, says the World Bank's Economic Update for the region, released today.

The pickup in growth reflects improved forecasts for war-hit Ukraine and for Central Asia, as well as consumer resiliency in Turkey and better-than-expected growth in Russia because of a surge in government spending on the military and social transfers.

Excluding Russia and Ukraine, regional output is expected to grow by 3% in 2023. Nevertheless, growth remains weak relative to the long-term pre-pandemic averages. Overall, growth in half of the Europe and Central Asia countries is expected to be slower or little changed in 2023 than in 2022.

ESMA consults on the potential impact of shortening the standard settlement cycle

October 5, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, today launches a Call for Evidence (CfE) on the shortening of the settlement cycle. Stakeholders are invited to provide their input by 15 December 2023.

The Call for Evidence will help ESMA to assess the costs and benefits of a possible reduction of the settlement cycle in the European Union (EU); and identify whether any regulatory action is needed to smoothen the impact for EU market participants of the planned shortening of the settlement cycle to T+1 in other jurisdictions, such as the US. ESMA seeks input, including quantitative evidence, from all stakeholders involved in financial markets, and not only those in financial market infrastructures.
