World Bank-Russia Economic Report 34: Balancing Economic Adjustment and Transformation
September 30, 2015--The continued impact of the lower oil prices in a context of ongoing international sanctions will cause the Russian economy to contract by an estimated 3.8 percent in 2015, the World Bank said today in its latest Russia Economic Report launched in Moscow.
The recession is having a severe impact on households as double-digit inflation erodes real wages and incomes and sharply increasing poverty rates. Medium-term growth prospects depend on how Russia will brave the difficult adjustment to this new economic reality. In the longer term, there is an opportunity for Russia to benefit from a structural transformation of its economy. However, without deep and sustained structural reforms, Russia will remain at risk of falling into a medium-term low-growth trap.

High-Frequency Traders Catch a Break in EU Market-Making Rules
Regulations seek to ensure market making is more stable
Venues aren't required to give incentives for some assets
September 29, 2015--High-frequency traders just caught a break in Europe, where it's now easier to escape stricter rules for market makers.
European Union regulators on Monday revised proposals for overhauling the 28-nation club's financial markets. For traders, there's a change from their previous plans: You're not considered a market maker--and therefore subject to new obligations--until you're supplying bids and offers for a given stock or financial product for half the trading day. Before, the threshold was only 30 percent of the day.
