DWS Launches Emerging Markets ETF Tracking Solactive Index and Expands its Paris Aligned Range Once More

December 19, 2022--Solactive is pleased to announce that DWS expanded once more its net-zero ETF range with a new ETF tracking a Solactive index. After introducing five net-zero ETFs tracking Solactive's indices this year to the market, DWS launches now an Emerging Market Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned UCITS ETF (XEMN), which tracks the Solactive ISS ESG Emerging Market Net Zero Pathway Index.

The Xtrackers Emerging Market Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned UCITS ETF follows the same climate reduction targets as the rest of the series. It listed on the Deutsche Börse and the London Stock Exchange.

The Solactive ISS ESG Emerging Market Net Zero Pathway Index is part of the Solactive ISS ESG Net Zero Pathway Index Series. The series focuses on large and medium-sized companies and aims to represent multiple segments of the global stock market complying with the regulations of the EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks (EU PAB) as regards the minimum standards for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks and EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks. The indices provide a 50% reduction in carbon intensity versus an equivalent non-ESG market benchmark, and a 7% year-on-year ongoing decarbonization pathway.

IMF Working Paper-A Bottom-Up Reduced Form Phillips Curve for the Euro Area

December 16, 2022--Summary:
We develop a bottom-up model of inflation in the euro area based on a set of augmented Phillips curves for seven subcomponents of core inflation and auxiliary regressions for non-core items. We use the model's disaggregated structure to explore which factors drove the deterioration in forecasting performance during the pandemic period and use these insights to improve on the ability to forecast inflation.

In the baseline, the projection for core inflation is centered above 3 percent at end-2023, while headline inflation is expected to drop quite sharply over 2023, with energy base effects pulling inflation down from the currently very elevated levels to below 3 percent by 2023q4. The confidence intervals around these projections are wide given elevated uncertainty. We argue that the bottom-up approach offers a useful complement to the forecasters toolbox -even in the current uncertain environment- by improving forecast accuracy, shedding additional light on the drivers of inflation and providing a framework in which to apply ex post judgement in a structured way.

ESAs publish joint advice to the EU Commission on the review of the securitisation prudential framework

December 12, 2022--The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA -ESAs) today published a joint advice in response to the European Commission's October 2021 call for advice on the review of the securitisation prudential framework.

The ESAs welcome the current review as an opportunity to assess the performance of the current framework and support the objective of reviving the EU securitisation market. 

The targeted proposals in the advice aim at improving the consistency and risk sensitivity of the capital framework for banks whereas the liquidity framework for banks and the prudential framework for (re)insurers should be maintained as it currently stands. However, the ESAs believe that re-calibrating the securitisation prudential framework would not be a solution that in itself would ensure the revival of the securitisation market.

Five new ETCs from Societe Generale on Xetra: access to the energy and precious metals commodities sector as well as CO2 emission rights

December 9, 2022--Since Friday, five new exchange-traded commodities (ETCs) of Société Générale are tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt.
With its ETCs, Société Générale offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to the commodities market via futures contracts. In the energy sector, its product range includes ETCs on the performance of Henry Hub Natural Gas and Brent Crude Oil. In the precious metals sector, ETCs are available on the futures contracts of gold and silver.

In addition, the ETC on the ICE EUA Futures offers an investment in futures contracts on CO2 emission rights (ICE EAU).

All five ETCs are fully collateralised. Since futures contracts have a limited term, they are generally exchanged before maturity for the futures contract with the next maturity date (so-called roll-over). Depending on whether the purchased futures contract is cheaper or more expensive than the sold futures contract, roll profits or roll losses are achieved.

World Bank Releases Its First Report on the Circular Economy in the EU, Says Decoupling Growth From Resource Use in Europe Achievable Within Decade

December 6, 2022--Globally, extraction of raw materials stands at over 100 billion tons, annually. This staggering figure is driven by both the persistently high levels of material consumption in high-income countries and the rapidly growing needs in emerging economies.

The World Bank's first comprehensive report on the circular economy in the European Union (EU)-"Squaring the Circle: Policies from Europe's Circular Economy Transition"-states that the current "take-make-use-waste" linear model of economic expansion is increasingly unsustainable, not only on environmental terms, but also from an economic security and inclusion dimension. The report concludes, however, that comprehensive policy packages can reduce material consumption while still maintaining growth and welfare creation.
