EU Retreats on Prop-Trading Ban; Nations Back Separation
December 23, 2014--The European Union's biggest banks may be spared a ban on proprietary trading, with a majority of the bloc's member states preferring for such activities to be split off into separately capitalized units.
A narrowly defined ban aimed at banks' dedicated proprietary trading desks proposed this year by the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, has failed to win support, according to a report prepared by Italy, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency. The measure is part of a broader proposal on managing risks at the bloc's systemically important banks.

ESMA consults on different share classes of UCITS
December 23, 2014--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a discussion paper on different share classes of UCITS.
The UCITS Directive recognises the possibility for UCITS to offer different share classes to investors but it does not prescribe whether, and to what extent, share classes of a given UCITS can differ from each other.
ESMA has identified diverging national practices as to the types of share class that are permitted, ranging from very simple share classes e.g. with different levels of fees, to much more sophisticated share classes e.g. with potentially different investment strategies.

World Bank Lowers 2014 GDP Growth Estimate for Turkey to 3.1 Percent, Maintains 2015 Forecast
December 23, 2014--A weak Q3 GDP print means end-year growth is likely to come in just above 3 percent. However the disappointing headline number is mainly due to a reduction in inventories with other components of domestic demand signaling improvements, according to the World Bank's Turkey Regular Economic Brief[i] No: 5-issued today in Ankara.
Moreover, the outlook for inflation and the current account has improved substantially due to a sharp decline in oil prices. The World Bank's 2015 growth projection remains unchanged at 3.5 percent.
