Maintaining Stability is Crucial to Russia's Growth and Poverty Reduction Goals, says World Bank Report

December 4, 2018--Russia's growth prospects remain modest, forecast at between 1.5% and 1.8% for the period 2018-20, says the World Bank's latest Russia Economic Report. Growth momentum increased in the first half of 2018, supported by robust global growth, rising oil prices and a macro policy framework that has promoted stability.

Preliminary estimates suggest, however, that growth appears to have weakened to 1.3% (year-on-year) in the third quarter of 2018, following a weak harvest, sluggish performances in manufacturing and construction, and the waning effects of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Uneven Path Ahead: The Effect of Brexit on Different Sectors in the UK Economy

December 4, 2018--The United Kingdom is set to leave the European Union in March 2019. Our research suggests that all likely Brexit outcomes will entail an economic cost for the UK, and these costs would be unevenly spread across different sectors and regions.

The UK's membership in the EU means that the country enjoys a frictionless trade arrangement embodied in the EU single market and customs union. After exit, barriers to trade in goods and services would increase while labor mobility would fall.

Monday Morning Memo: Are active managers scared by the success of ETFs?

December 3, 2018--Sometimes it is quite fun to observe the European fund industry, especially pertaining to the active-versus-passive discussion. One of these fun topics is the fact that the more market share ETFs gain from net inflows, the more active managers start to talk about the risks of investing in ETFs.

They argue that these products are always fully invested in their respective indices and have no active component that will protect investors against losses under rough market conditions.

Why do I find this funny? Firstly, I would assume an investor who is buying an ETF knows there is no active component included in these products; i.e., the ETF replicates the return of its underlying market in all circumstances.

ESMA sees rising market nervousness and sensitivity linked to Brexit risks

November 29, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued today the latest iteration of its Risk Dashboard covering risks in the EU's securities markets for Q3 2018. ESMA's overall risk assessment remains unchanged from Q2 2018 at high levels.

Equity markets increased slightly over the course of the 3rd quarter 2018, however market nervousness and sensitivity are rising, as evidenced by the global equity market sell-off at the beginning of October. The budget plans of Italy have led to sovereign bond market volatility remaining at a high level, and generally high market valuations coupled with market uncertainty contribute to very high market risk.

November 29, 2018--The European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), together the European Supervisory Authorities (ESA), have today published a final report with draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) proposing to amend the Commission Delegated Regulation on the risk mitigation techniques for OTC derivatives not cleared by a CCP (bilateral margin requirements) under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
