S&P Dow Jones Indices-Index Dashboard:Europe

June 28, 2018--Summary
As trade tensions soured sentiment across global equity markets, the S&P Europe 350 fell 0.57% this month. However, gains earlier in the quarter-particularly from the U.K.-meant the European equity benchmark posted a 4.42% quarterly total return.

A re-emergence of European political risk also contributed to the European equity benchmark's decline this month. Eurosceptic rhetoric from the newly -formed Italian coalition is expected to put it at odds with the E.U. Markets also reacted poorly to growing speculation that Germany's coalition government may collapse over the issue of migration; it remains to be seen if last night's deal among European leaders will be sufficient for Chancellor Angela Merkel to appease her Bavarian allies.

IMF-Ireland: Selected Issues

June 28, 2018--BUSINESS CYCLE IN IRELAND: ACCOUNTING FOR OPEN LABOR MARKET AND MULTINATIONALS1
Assessing the business cycle in Ireland is complicated by the open character of its labor market and large presence of globally active multinationals. This chapter takes into account these features of the Irish economy when estimating potential output and the cyclical position.

Results point to a strong recent rebound of potential growth as well as a currently advanced cyclical position, with a positive and widening output gap.

A. Introduction
1. This chapter estimates the cyclical position of the Irish economy. The recent publication of the GNI* and other related indicators, which help to identify the large global activities of multinationals and provide a better measure of the size of the domestic economy, has invited for a deeper analysis of the cyclical position of the Irish economy.2 A better understanding of the cyclical position is essential for macroeconomic diagnostics, including assessing external sustainability and determining an appropriate fiscal policy stance.

European Fund-Flow Trends: May 2018-A grim month for long-term mutual funds

June 25, 2018--European investors pulled back from long-term mutual funds as the market environment and the general sentiment turned negative. As a consequence, May was the first month posting net outflows from long-term mutual funds after 16 consecutive months showing net inflows.

That said, European fund promoters still enjoyed net inflows into mixed-asset funds (+€2.5 bn), followed by commodity funds (+€1.4 bn) and alternative UCITS funds (+€1.4 bn) as well as real estate funds (+€0.4 bn), while net flows to “other” funds (-€0.8 bn), equity funds (-€7.4 bn) and bond funds (-€15.9 bn) were negative.

These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €18.5 bn into long-term investment funds for May. ETFs contributed €1.6 bn to these flows.

June 22, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today an opinion which sets out how central counterparties (CCPs) in the EU should consider in their internal risk models the liquidity risk posed by all entities towards which the CCP has a liquidity exposure, such as liquidity providers.

The opinion, published under the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), outlines how CCPs should assess liquidity risk, and by so doing promotes convergent risk management practices and risk control across EU.
