World Bank-Russia Economic Report 32: Policy Uncertainty Clouds Medium-Term Prospects

September 24, 2014--The Russian economy is near stagnation, with continued lowered domestic demand leading to growth of 0.8 percent in the first half of 2014, similar to 0.9 percent in 2013, the World Bank said today in its latest Russia Economic Report launched in Moscow. Economic activity was already hamstrung by lingering structural problems and a wait-and-see attitude on the part of both businesses and consumers in 2013.

An additional negative impact on the economy-besides slow structural reforms-came from increased geopolitical tensions and an uncertain policy environment. It is policy uncertainty about the economic course the country will take that is casting the longest shadow on Russia's medium-term prospects.

IMF Working paper-Demand Patterns in France, Germany, and Belgium: Can We Explain the Differences?

September 12, 2014--Summary: The need to revive Euro area growth highlights the importance of the evolution of domestic and external demand in the core. This paper puts recent demand patterns in France, Germany, and Belgium into historical perspective. We find that, first, dynamics for private consumption, non-residential business investment,and exports since 2008 is dominated by conventional determinants, with no discernible structural break as a result of the crisis.

Second, although country-specific factors matter in some cases, demand patterns in these countries are largely driven by common determinants. Third, developments in common fundamentals tend to dominate demand dynamics, coupled, in a few cases, with structurally different elasticities across countries. Fourth, short-term analysis suggests a role for confidence and uncertainty factors in explaining temporary deviations of these variables from long-term fundamentals.

ESMA sees valuation risks in key market segments rising

September 3, 2014--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published its Report on Trends,Risks and Vulnerabilities No. 2,2014,and the Risk Dashboard for 3Q 2014. Overall,ESMA's report finds that valuation risks in key market segments are rising and merit investor attention. In the first half of 2014,conditions in the EU's securities markets,asset management industry and market infrastructures remained favourable.

Prevailing optimistic market sentiment was at odds with sluggish underlying economic fundamentals,but in line with the ultra-low interest rate environment.

Key developments in EU securities markets,fund industry and infrastructures:

Securities markets: EU securities markets realized significant gains amid low volatility. This underscored positive market sentiment in a low interest rate environment,which motivated investors to search for yield. Risk appetite remained strong as yields continued to compress and solid high-yield bond issuance was readily absorbed by markets. Consequently,valuation concerns rose along with the risks of future volatility and its effects.

Asset management: the European fund industry continued to expand,partly due to capital inflows,with assets under management growing by about 6.7% or €0.5tn in 1H14. Investment fund returns were relatively low,though moving slightly upward,also driven by positive valuation effects. Allocations focused on bonds,notably high-yield and corporate bonds. Overall,investors are searching for yield. Within an active primary bond markets potentiallyfewer market makers could limit the functionality of secondary bond markets.
