September 21, 2017--The government's planned tax reforms are an important opportunity to make capital taxation in France more efficient and growth friendly. The current system is characterized by a range of distortions and inefficiencies.
The corporate income tax (CIT) regime features a high statutory rate but low revenue productivity, as well as a bias toward debt financing, ineffective size-dependent regimes, and inefficient tax incentives. Profit-insensitive taxes are comparatively high. Anti-tax-avoidance rules are strong, but risks to outbound profit shifting remain. Tax uncertainty is another concern.

September 21, 2017--The Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA-ESAs) published today its Autumn 2017 Report on risks and vulnerabilities in the European Union's financial system.
The Report highlights the risks to the stability of the European financial sector in an uncertain political and economic environment, not least in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. It also highlights persistent valuation risk with an uncertain outlook for yields and argues that financial institutions continue to face profitability challenges in spite of recent improvements. Rapid developments in the area of FinTech are raising new opportunities, but also challenges for financial institutions and final users.
