Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market-May 2017
June 19, 2017--The promoters of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) enjoyed net inflows for May. These net inflows led to increased assets under management in the European ETF industry (€578.1 bn) for May, up from €570.6 bn at the end of April. The increase of €7.5 bn for May was driven mainly by net new sales (+€9.0 bn), while market performance contributed a negative €1.5 bn to the assets under management in the ETF segment.
With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€406.7 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€142.3 bn), commodity products (€17.6 bn), "other" funds (€7.1 bn), money market funds (€3.7 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.5 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.3 bn).

IMF-Euro Area: IMF Staff Concluding Statement of the 2017 Article IV Mission
June 15, 2017--The recovery has gained momentum, with a virtuous circle of private consumption and job creation. This provides an excellent opportunity to push forward with architectural reforms to deepen the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
At the same time, structural reforms at the country level are needed to spur productivity growth, reduce competitiveness gaps, and help revive income convergence across the union. High-debt countries should use the remaining window of monetary accommodation to rebuild policy buffers. Countries already operating at capacity should support the healing process, including by accepting above 2 percent inflation for a prolonged period and by fostering more demand at home.
