Germany: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2018 Article IV Mission
May 14, 2018--Germany's economic performance is impressive, supported by prudent economic management and past structural reforms. Growth is robust. The unemployment rate has fallen to levels not seen in decades and employment is rising. Household and corporate balance sheets are strong and the public debt ratio is declining rapidly.
Inflation remains low but wage growth is picking up, reflecting the strength of the labor market. Looking beyond these positive cyclical developments and in an environment of unfavorable demographics, boosting productivity growth and investment would raise the long-term growth potential and reduce the persistently large current account surplus. The new government's coalition agreement contains several welcome measures which will continue to address some of these challenges. Yet, the current favorable economic environment provides an opportunity for the new government to take more forceful policy actions.
Thomson Reuters-Monday Morning Memo: The Market Concentration by Fund Domicile is No Reason to Worry
May 14, 2018--It is no secret that the European fund market is quite fragmented in some areas. But when it comes to the market concentration of fund domiciles, the picture changes from fragmented to rather concentrated. According to our European fund market report for Q1-2018, there were 34 fund domiciles in Europe, accounting for 10.54 trillion euros of assets under management.
It is no surprise that the international fund hubs Luxembourg (33.56% market share) and Ireland (16.58%) were the largest fund domiciles, since the vast majority of the so-called cross-border funds (funds sold in more than one country) are domiciled in these two countries, while "local" funds (funds domiciled in a single country and mainly sold in that country) play a smaller role. That said, the combined market share of Luxembourg and Ireland (50.14%) does not look exceptionally dominant at the moment.
