May 10, 2015--The UK Conservative party's shock victory in last week's general election has heightened fears in the fund industry of a potentially damaging exit from the EU.
Opinion polls had pointed to the likelihood of a government led by the Labour party, which had ruled out the possibility of a referendum on the UK's membership of the 28-nation bloc, or a minority Conservative administration backed by the resolutely pro-European Liberal Democrats.

ESMA-ESAs-main risks to EU financial market stability have intensified
May 5, 2015--Summary
The Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) published its fifth Report on Risks and Vulnerabilities in the EU Financial System. Overall, the report found that in the past six months, risks affecting the EU financial system have not changed in substance, but have further intensified.
The EU's economic performance improved slightly in early 2015, however the financial sector in general continues to be affected by a combination of factors such as low investment demand, economic uncertainty in the Eurozone and its neighbouring countries, a global economic slow-down and a low-interest rate environment.

EC-Spring 2015 Economic Forecast: Tailwinds support the recovery
May 5, 2015--Economic growth in the European Union is benefitting from positive economic tailwinds. According to the European Commission's Spring 2015 Economic Forecast, these short-term factors are boosting an otherwise mild cyclical upswing in the EU.
Europe's economies are benefitting from many supporting factors at once. Oil prices remain relatively low, global growth is steady, the euro has continued to depreciate, and economic policies in the EU are supportive.
On the monetary side, quantitative easing by the European Central Bank is having a significant impact on financial markets, contributing to lower interest rates and expectations of improving credit conditions. With the overall fiscal stance in the EU broadly neutral-neither tightening nor loosening-fiscal policy is also accommodating growth. Over time, the pursuit of structural reforms and the Investment Plan for Europe should also bear fruit.
As a result, real GDP in 2015 is now expected to rise by 1.8 % in the EU and by 1.5 % in the euro area, respectively 0.1 and 0.2 percentage points higher than projected three months ago. For 2016, the Commission forecasts growth of 2.1 % in the EU and of 1.9 % in the euro area.
