PRA review finds that 70% of banks recognise that climate change poses financial risks

September 26, 2018--In its review published today, the PRA examines how climate change poses financial risks to banks and how banks are responding.
A survey of 90% of the UK banking sector representing over £11trn in assets found that 70% of banks recognise that climate change poses financial risks.

These firms have begun considering the most immediate physical risks to their business models – for example the exposure to mortgages on homes that are at risk of flooding, or the exposure of their investment in countries that could be impacted by extreme weather events. And they have started to assess how the transition to a low-carbon economy, driven for example by government policy and technological change, may impact the business models of the companies that banks are exposed to. Only 10% manage these risks comprehensively and take a long-term strategic view of the risks. 30% of banks still only consider climate change as a corporate social responsibility issue.

ESMA finds deterioration in liquidity in stressed financial markets for both sovereign and corporate bonds

September 25, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) today publishes a working paper examining liquidity in EU fixed income markets, providing a broad overview of market liquidity in EU sovereign bond and corporate bond markets.

The study, reporting on different aspects of market liquidity, shows that the situation differs significantly between sovereign and corporate bonds. ESMA has found that sovereign bond market liquidity has increased recently, potentially due to the effects of supportive monetary policy. However, in parallel, it has seen evidence of several episodes of deteriorating secondary market liquidity for corporate bonds, especially between 2014 and 2016.

ESMA monitors volatility in financial markets

September 24, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authorities (ESMA) has published an article setting out the details of its analysis of volatility in financial markets.

The potential of market volatility to undermine financial stability as well as to impose unexpected losses on investors, is a subject of concern for securities market regulators, and is a key element of ESMA's market monitoring.

Relatively low or high levels of volatility increase the likelihood of stressed financial markets. The two years between February 2016 and January 2018 were characterised by low yields and low volatility, a trend that came to an abrupt end in February 2018 when equity market volatility spiked as markets were globally affected by a strong correction.

Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, August 2018

September 24, 2018--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for August. These inflows led-in spite of a negative market environment-to increasing assets under management in the European ETF industry.

In more detail, the assets under management in the European ETF industry increased from €670.1 bn (as of July 31, 2018) to €671.7 bn at the end of August 2018.

The increase of €1.7 bn for August was driven by net sales (+€2.3 bn), while the performance of the underlying markets contributed a negative €0.7 bn to the assets under management in the European ETF segment.

With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€484.8 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€158.6 bn), commodity products (€19.2 bn), "other" funds (€4.8 bn), money market funds (€2.8 bn), mixed-asset funds (€1.0 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).
