In contrast, Croatia ranks relatively well compared to the region's average, particularly on inclusion, but still lags on use of savings products.

Review of the European ETF Market, November 2016
December 12, 2016--The promoters of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) enjoyed net inflows for November. Positive market impacts in combination with net inflows led to increased assets under management in the European ETF industry (€496.1 bn) for November, up from €483.8 bn at the end of October). The increase of €12.3 bn for November was mainly driven by the performance of markets (+€7.5 bn), while net sales contributed €4.8 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 (€338.8 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€130.6 bn), commodity products (€16.1 bn), "other" funds (€6.9 bn), money market funds (€2.9 bn), alternative UCITS products (€0.5 bn), and mixed-asset funds (€0.4 bn).

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%.
