IMF Country report-Germany: Selected Issues

July 7, 2017--THE PROFITABILITY OF GERMAN FIRMS: LOCATION VERSUS OWNERSHIP1
Over the past two decades, German firms have expanded their production outside of Germany through mergers and acquisitions as well as greenfield investments.

Most of this foreign direct investment has taken place in Europe, including through the building of supply chains in Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe. In the context of a relatively lackluster domestic investment, persistently large corporate savings, as well as only moderate wage growth despite a positive output gap at the current juncture, this paper addresses three simple questions: Have foreign activities in the rest of Europe been more profitable than domestic activities? Does this difference depend on the economic sector? Has the difference changed over the past ten years?

ETF Barometer-June 2017

July 6, 2017--European ETF market flows continued their sustained upward trend in June. Net New Assets (NNA) over the month totalled EUR8.5bn

Total ETF Assets under Management are up 12% vs. the end of 2016, reaching EUR578bn and including a positive market impact of 2%. For the first time since September 2016, Fixed Income ETFs generated more NNA than Equity ETFs.

Equity ETF inflows pulled back at EUR4bn. Export-driven countries and sectors were sold off in Europe as the euro surged. In this context, European equity ETF inflows decreased substantially at EUR860M. US equity ETFs generated EUR392M of NNA, despite mixed macroeconomic news flow. Global ETFs inflows also slowed, to EUR634M. Asia Pacific equity ETFs recorded much higher inflows of EUR866M due to perceived valuation opportunities. Emerging market equity ETFs sustained inflows of EUR1.4bn. Once again, these flows were almost exclusively focused on broad-based ETFs, rather than single countries. Smart beta ETF inflows amounted to EUR584M. Income-generating ETF flows were back in positive territory with EUR181M of inflows, but value ETFs experienced a slowdown at EUR294M.

IMF Norway: Selected Issues

ARE HOUSE PRICES OVERVALUED IN NORWAY?-A CROSS-COUNTRY ANALYSIS 1
House prices in Norway have increased substantially over the past two decades, including by comparison to other countries. Given the importance of the housing market to both financial and macroeconomic stability, it is essential for policymakers to monitor the extent to which house prices deviate from economic fundamentals.

This paper examines various factors driving the uptrend in house prices, with a particular focus on institutional and structural factors. The extent of a possible valuation gap is gauged empirically in the context of a cross-country panel analysis of long-run fundamental determinants of house prices using data from 20 OECD countries.
