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.

ESAs propose to amend bilateral margin requirements to assist Brexit preparations for OTC derivative contracts

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).

BOE-Financial Stability Report November 2018

November 28, 2018--The House of Commons Treasury Committee has requested that the Bank of England publish analysis of how leaving the European Union (EU) would affect its ability to deliver its objectives for monetary and financial stability.1

Brexit is unique. Large negative supply shocks are relatively rare, and there is no precedent of an advanced economy withdrawing from a trade agreement as deep and complex as the European Union. As the United Kingdom's (UK) trading relationship with the EU changes, the reduction in openness will act to reduce the UK economy's productive capacity and in most scenarios its rate of growth in the short term. Leaving the EU abruptly, without a withdrawal agreement and implementation period, would amplify these effects.

BOE-Financial Stability Report and Stress Test results-November 2018

November 28, 2018--The 2018 stress test shows the UK banking system is resilient to deep simultaneous recessions in the UK and global economies that are more severe overall than the global financial crisis and that are combined with large falls in asset prices and a separate stress of misconduct costs.

In the 2018 stress-test scenario, UK GDP falls by 4.7%, the UK unemployment rate rises to 9.5%, UK residential property prices fall by 33% and UK commercial real estate prices fall by 40%. The scenario also includes a sudden loss of overseas investor appetite for UK assets, a 27% fall in the sterling exchange rate index and Bank Rate rising to 4%.

Major UK banks have continued to strengthen their capital positions. They started the 2018 stress test with an aggregate common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio nearly three and a half times higher than before the global financial crisis.
Despite facing loss rates consistent with the global financial crisis, the major UK banks' aggregate CET1 capital ratio after the stress would still be twice its level before the crisis.

Bank of England says 'disorderly' Brexit worse for UK than global financial crisis

November 28, 2018--The Bank of England has published its 2018 U.K. bank stress tests and Brexit report. Earlier, the U.K. government admitted that all Brexit scenarios would slow the economy.

The Bank of England has claimed that a "disorderly" exit from the European Union would plunge the U.K. economy into a worse economic contraction than that experienced after the global financial crisis of 2008.

The BOE made the claim in its assessment of different scenarios related to the U.K.'s withdrawal agreement from the EU, published Wednesday.
