Turkey Economic Monitor: Steadying the Ship

January 10, 2019--Taking Stock
Over the past six months, Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) have faced headwinds from declining capital flows, slowing global trade, and commodity price volatility. In Turkey, these factors have combined with macro imbalances, perceived policy weaknesses, and international tensions to trigger a Lira sell-off and capital outflows.

Market volatility has subsided since August and the Lira has rebounded and external imbalances have narrowed. But Turkey's external financial situation remains fragile and market perceptions of risks are high. Market volatility has also affected the real sector through high inflation, falling demand, and a big supply side correction.

EBA reports on crypto-assets

January 9, 2019--The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today the results of its assessment of the applicability and suitability of EU law to crypto-assets. Typically, crypto-asset activities do not constitute regulated services within the scope of EU banking, payments and electronic money law, and risks exist for consumers that are not addressed at the EU level.

Crypto-asset activities may also give rise to other risks, including money laundering. In light of these issues, the EBA recommends that the European Commission carry out further analysis to determine the appropriate EU-level response. The EBA also identifies a number of actions that it will take in 2019 to enhance the monitoring of financial institutions' crypto-asset activities and consumer-facing disclosure practices.

$1 Trillion Fleeing London Because of Brexit

January 7, 2019--Banks, insurers and money managers are planning to move about 800 billion pounds ($1 trillion) of assets from the U.K. to the rest of Europe as Brexit uncertainty takes its toll, according to a survey conducted by EY.

Key Insights
Consulting firm EY said its estimate may be low, because many firms haven't publicly declared the value of assets being transferred. According to another group's estimate, as much as 800 billion euros of balance-sheet assets could move to Frankfurt alone. EY said its "conservative" estimate is based on statements from 20 companies that have announced a transfer of assets out of London.

Monday Morning Memo: Performance Review of Long-Term Mutual Funds Registered for Sale in Europe, Year End 2018

January 7, 2019--The year 2018 was a bumpy ride for the global securities markets as investors faced fears about a global trade war, geopolitical uncertainties and corporate scandals, as well as increasing interest rates. The resulting sluggish performance of the securities markets is also reflected in the average returns of long-term mutual funds registered for sale in Europe (-5.68%) for the year 2018.

That said, a view on the average results does hide that some funds were able to generate solid positive results, even as the respective classification average might be negative.

Real estate funds (+1.54%) had on average the best performance of all long-term mutual funds registered for sale in Europe, followed by bond funds (+1.09%), while all other asset types showed on average negative returns. Equity funds (-10.01%) showed the weakest returns, bettered by commodity funds (-8.09%) and mixed asset funds (-6.86%).
