Deutsche Bank talks with UBS on asset management deal stall: sources

May 13, 2019--Talks have stalled between Deutsche Bank and UBS on a tie up of their asset management businesses due to differences over who would control the combined entity, people familiar with the matter said.

Such a tie-up still made strategic and financial sense and they did not rule out that talks may eventually be revived, three sources said, but both banks had wanted to drive the venture.

Yet in practice many asset managers pocket from a third to nearly half of the revenues generated from securities lending.

Ireland: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2019 Article IV Mission

May 10, 2019--A decade after the global financial crisis, the Irish economy is one of the most dynamic in Europe. Economic growth is strong, unemployment is nearing historical lows, and public finances have improved. Ireland's success story is broad-based with multinational enterprises playing an important role.

The downsized banking sector is well capitalized and liquid, but profitability is under pressure while credit to the economy has only recently begun to expand. Investment funds and other financial intermediaries continue to grow rapidly, lifting the overall size of Ireland's financial sector above its pre-crisis level.

The baseline economic outlook foresees continued robust growth and job creation with a further tightening of capacity constraints. External risks are increasing, however, as Ireland's close ties with the U.K. make it uniquely vulnerable to Brexit. Also, an escalation in global protectionism and changes in international corporate taxation could have negative spillovers. Policymakers should manage these risks by focusing on building buffers and strengthening resilience of the economy, both to alleviate demand pressures and prepare for the possibility of a major external shock.

IMF Working paper-CoMap: Mapping Contagion in the Euro Area Banking Sector

May 10, 2019--Summary:
This paper presents a novel approach to investigate and model the network of euro area banks' large exposures within the global banking system. Drawing on a unique dataset, the paper documents the degree of interconnectedness and systemic risk of the euro area banking system based on bilateral linkages.

We develop a Contagion Mapping model fully calibrated with bank-level data to study the contagion potential of an exogenous shock via credit and funding risks. We find that tipping points shifting the euro area banking system from a less vulnerable state to a highly vulnerable state are a non-linear function of the combination of network structures and bank-specific characteristics.
