Monday Morning Memo: The EU action plan on financing sustainable growth has been hollowed by the European Parliament

April 1, 2019-- The European Commission has started an ambitious initiative with the commission action plan on financing sustainable growth. Even as this initiative was welcomed at the top level of the wider financial industry, there was some resistance with regard to the reporting duties for asset managers and mutual funds mentioned in the proposal.

As a consequence of this resistance, the European Parliament dropped some of the more wide-ranging amendments favorable to conventional asset managers at a vote on March 28, 2019.

Even as the members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted for a unified classification system—the so-called taxonomy of sustainable economic activities-this new taxonomy won’t be used as a reporting standard for all funds. Instead of forcing all kind of funds to disclose how their portfolios are positioned with regard to the taxonomy, the MEPs decided only funds which claim they are investing with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) or socially responsible investing (SRI) approach will have to report how the fund is positioned by using the taxonomy.

IMF-Switzerland: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2019 Article IV Mission

April 1, 2019--The renewed prospect of global "low-for-long" interest rates and the possibility of a resurgence in international economic and political risk could trigger safe haven pressures on the Swiss franc and push inflation into negative territory.

To increase policy space, the current balance between the utilization of monetary and fiscal policies—stretched monetary policy and underutilized fiscal policy—should be adjusted. Assigning a greater role to fiscal policy, including by increasing public sector spending within the existing framework, would better cushion the economic cycle, support longer-term growth, and prepare the economy for demographic and technological change.
