Bruegel Working paper-Instruments of economic security
May 23, 2024--The challenge of improving European economic security has grown in importance, with various relevant policy measures introduced at EU level
Geopolitical and economic developments, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and trade disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, have raised concerns about the European Union's exposure to hostile countries.
The challenge of improving European economic security (which we narrowly treat here as exposure to foreign trade or production shocks) has grown in importance, with various relevant policy measures introduced at EU level.
Focusing in particular on the threat posed by economic coercion, this paper begins by assessing the nature of this threat, before outlining two lessons that can be drawn from two recent instances of this coercion in action: China's actions against Lithuania and Australia respectively. First, while much of the policy debate has focused on imports, the threat to EU exporters should not be ignored. Second, while coercion may not cause any macroeconomically significant harm, this may mask severe impacts on the targeted industries, which should be considered in any policy responses.

ESMA makes recommendations for more effective and attractive capital markets in the EU
May 22, 2024--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published its Position Paper on "Building more effective and attractive capital markets in the EU".
The Paper includes 20 recommendations to strengthen EU capital markets and address the needs of European citizens and businesses.
ESMA's recommendations for a well-functioning capital market focus on three dimensions: citizens, companies and the EU regulatory and supervisory framework. The actions proposed in this paper go beyond changes to financial regulation and are thus directed not only to capital market supervisors but also to EU Member States, the European Commission and EU Co-legislators as well as to the financial industry.

New active ETF from First Trust on Xetra: active buffer strategy on S&P 500 Index with May 2024/2025 as new target outcome period
May 21, 2024--As of today, a new exchange-traded fund from First Trust is tradable on Xetra and via the trading venue Börse Frankfurt.
The First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Moderate Buffer UCITS ETF-May pursues an actively managed investment strategy with the aim of tracking the performance of the S&P 500 Index up to a fixed upside cap.
Simultaneously, the fund aims to minimise losses (buffer) for the first 15 per cent price declines at the end of the defined target outcome period of one calendar year. The investment manager invests the entire assets in FLEX options, which are put as well as call options.
The buffer strategy begins and ends in May of each year and is then rebalanced by the fund investing in a new package of FLEX options. The cap is calculated on the first reference date depending on market conditions, while the buffer always remains unchanged at 15 per cent. The current cap and buffer details are available on the First Trust website.

Amundi ETF Flows Analysis-April 2024
May 17, 2024--Data as of end April 2024
Investors added €54.1bn to global exchange-traded funds in April with equities gaining €31.2bn and fixed income strategies adding €21.4bn. These flows were lower compared to March, reflecting investors' lack of clarity over the future
direction of interest rates.
In the global ETF market, ultrashort bonds were the most popular strategy recording inflows of €7.4bn as investors took advantage of the yields offered by these products at minimal duration risk. Continuing the trend in fixed income from
recent months, there were outflows in corporate debt and high yield strategies.
Large blend -US equity-indices gained €7.0bn, continuing the long-run trend. Japanese equities also maintained their momentum adding €3.4bn this month despite some investor concerns about valuations looking overstretched in this region.
