ESMA raises its market risk indicator to highest level
September 14, 2015--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today its Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities Report No. 2 for 2015 on European Union (EU) securities markets, covering market developments from January to June 2015.
It has also published its Risk Dashboard No. 3 for 2015.
Overall, market risks for the European securities markets have increased. ESMA's risk indicator for market risk is now at its highest level "very high". This increase is due to high volatilities and fluctuating performances across asset classes-all of which translates into elevated risks for investors, market infrastructures and the financial system at large.

ESAs see continued risks in EU financial markets and call for rigorous action on assets and liabilities
September 9, 2015--The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) for securities (ESMA), banking (EBA), and insurance and occupational pensions (EIOPA) have today issued their August 2015 Joint Committee Report on Risks and Vulnerabilities in the EU financial system.
The joint risk report informs on risks in the EU financial system (banking, securities and insurance sector), with a particular focus on cross-sectoral vulnerabilities and developments.
The joint risk report identifies that risks to the EU financial system have persisted since March 2015. Risks resulting from low interest rates, search for yield and low profitability of financial institutions remain present, along with risks related to reductions in market liquidity and their possible implications for asset managers. The fragile recovery of European economies continues to adversely affect profitability and asset quality of the EU's financial sector.
