IMF Working paper-The Impact of Workforce Aging on European Productivity

December 8, 2016--Summary:
The age-distribution of Europe's workforce has shifted towards older workers over the past few decades, a process expected to accelerate in the years ahead.This paper studies the effect of the aging of the workforce on labor productivity, identifies the main transmission channels, and examines what policies might mitigate the effects of aging.

We find that workforce aging reduces growth in labor productivity, mainly through its negative effect on TFP growth. Projected workforce aging could reduce TFP growth by an average of 0.2 percentage points every year over the next two decades. A variety of policies could ameliorate this effect.

How to hedge Sterling equity exposures

December 7, 2106--The recent sharp moves in Sterling-predominantly the weakness that we've seen since Brexit-has been beneficial for UK investors holding overseas assets.

The declines have been particularly sharp against the USD, and, at its lowest point in mid-October it had fallen 18.5%, while its decline versus the Euro was more muted reflecting the weakness of the Euro. Still, even against a weakening Euro, Sterling fell 16.1%. Against the Yen-a currency that has seen reasonable strength-Sterling's decline was even more pronounced at 20.5%.

IMF-Finland: Financial System Stability Assessment

December 7, 2016--Summary:
Notwithstanding the three-year recession, Finland's banking system remains well capitalized and profitable.

While low interest rates have squeezed net interest income, banks have increased income from trading and insurance, and reduced cost-income ratios, helping to maintain profitability. Nonperforming loans have remained low and capitalization ratios are well above requirements, though buffers may be exaggerated by the aggressive use of risk weights. The Net Stable Funding Ratio suggests that vulnerabilities from maturity mismatches are limited in aggregate.
