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.

In central and eastern Europe, by contrast, where economies are cyclically much further ahead, wages are growing rapidly and inflation is expected to pick up appreciably in 2018, potentially affecting competitiveness. view the IMF Regional Economic Outlook Europe: Managing the Upswing in Uncertain Times Few funds sold to retail investors beat benchmark after fees view more

May 14, 2018--Full Executive Summary
Europe continues to enjoy strong growth. Activity has firmed up in many economies, and the forecast is for more of the same. Real GDP increased by 2.8 percent in 2017, up from 1.8 percent in 2016. The expansion is largely driven by domestic demand. Credit growth has finally picked up, which is helping Europe's banks rebuild profitability.
While leading indicators have recently begun to ease, they remain at high levels. Accordingly, the forecast is for growth to stay strong, reaching 2.6 percent in 2018 and declining to 2.2 percent in 2019. Amid the good times, however, fiscal adjustment and structural reform efforts are flagging.

May 13, 2018--Italian consultancy Prometeia say managers do not take enough active risk

The Italian consultancy examined the three-year record of 2,500 equity, bond and money market funds, with combined assets of €1.8tn, and found that only 18 per cent beat their benchmark. Absolute return, target date and alternative mutual funds were excluded from the analysis.
