FCA-Asset management market study

November 18, 2016--Interim findings
The UK's asset management industry manages nearly £7tn of institutional and individual assets. Over three quarters of UK households with occupational or personal pensions use the services asset managers offer.

We found that price competition is weak in a number of areas of the industry. While the price of passive funds has fallen, active prices have remained stable. Despite a large number of firms operating in the market, the asset management industry has seen sustained, high profits over a number of years.

Investors are not always clear what the objectives of funds are, and fund performance is not always reported against an appropriate benchmark.

Norway: Staff Concluding Statement of an IMF Staff Visit

November 17, 2016--Recent Developments and Outlook
The economy is slowly recovering from the shock of low oil prices. After remaining largely flat last year, mainland GDP expanded at a slow pace in the first three quarters this year, aided by supportive monetary and fiscal policies.

Inflation remains above the 2.5 percent target, largely reflecting lagged effects of last year's krone depreciation on imported consumer goods prices, whereas wage growth is very modest. Unemployment is expected to peak this year- albeit still at a low level- and is mainly concentrated in oil-dependent regions as the economy continues to adjust to declining offshore demand. The krone has strengthened somewhat this year alongside the recovery in oil prices. House price inflation accelerated again recently, particularly in Oslo and surrounding areas, and household debt remains elevated at 224 percent of disposable income.

Sweden: Great Economic Performance but Mind the Debt

November 17, 2016--Swedish economy is in good shape
Rising portion of households with high debt is creating risks to economic stability
