IMF Staff Country Reports France: Selected Issues
July 26, 2018--CORPORATE DEBT IN FRANCE1
France's corporate debt has risen significantly since the global financial crisis and is among the highest in advanced economies, reflecting mainly an increase in intercompany loans and bonds. The increase in debt has financed real investments, as well as acquisition of financial assets and extension of intercompany loans.
The increase in debt (and its level) appear less worrisome when debt is consolidated among non-financial corporations. Despite the increase in the stock of debt, debt service has increased moderately. A cross-country regression analysis reveals that French publicly listed firms are on average not more indebted and have not increased their debt more than peers in other countries, after controlling for firm and sector characteristics as well as common time effects. However, the increase in debt is concentrated among large firms with sizeable leverage in a few industries, raising questions about these firms’ ability to service this debt when interest rates rise.

ECB-Monetary policy decisions
July 26, 2018--At today's meeting the Governing Council of the ECB decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.40% respectively.
The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present levels at least through the summer of 2019, and in any case for as long as necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to levels that are below, but close to, 2% over the medium term.

Monday Morning Memo: European Fund-Flow Trends June 2018-Negative market sentiment takes a toll on mutual funds
July 23, 2018--European investors pulled back further from long-term mutual funds as the market environment and general sentiment turned negative. As a consequence, June was the second 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 (+€3.4 bn), followed by real estate funds (+€1.1 bn) and commodity funds (+€0.2 bn). In contrast, bond funds (-€15.0 bn) were the asset type with the highest net outflows from long-term mutual funds for the second month in a row, bettered by equity funds (-€11.0 bn), “other” funds (-€0.6 bn), and alternative UCITS funds (-€0.1 bn).
These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €22.0 bn from long-term investment funds for June. ETFs contributed €0.9 bn to these flows.

July 23, 2018--Canada is one of the OECD economies delivering the best outcomes for its citizens, according to a new OECD report presented in Ottawa today by OECD Chief of Staff and G20/G7 Sherpa Gabriela Ramos. Canada scores highly in all dimensions of the OECD's Better Life Index, especially in regards to self-reported well-being, personal security and health status.
Canada is also undertaking several programmes to foster inclusive growth-with respect to childcare benefits, gender equality and social housing-in line with the OECD Framework for Policy Action for Inclusive Growth.
The 2018 OECD Economic Survey of Canada finds the macroeconomic situation to be broadly favorable, with low unemployment, inflation on target and growth expected to remain solid over 2018-19.
