FSB Launches Quantitative Impact Study (QIS2) on Proposed Regulatory Framework for Haircuts on Securities Financing Transactions

November 5, 2013--The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is launching today the second-stage of its two-stage quantitative impact study (QIS) on the proposed regulatory framework for securities financing transactions.

On 29 August 2013, the FSB published the report Policy Framework for Addressing Shadow Banking Risks in Securities Lending and Repos that set out policy recommendations for addressing financial stability risks in relation to securities lending and repos. These measures formed part of an overall set of policy recommendations to strengthen oversight and regulation of shadow banking, an overview of which was published on the same date.

At the same time, the FSB noted that, although most of the policy measures were finalized, certain proposed measures would be finalised in light of further assessments of their potential impact on the financial system. These include proposals on a regulatory framework for haircuts on non-centrally cleared securities financing transactions, which consists of (i) minimum standards for methodologies to calculate haircuts on non-centrally cleared securities financing transactions and (ii) a framework of numerical haircut floors that will apply to non-centrally cleared securities financing transactions in which entities not subject to regulation of capital and liquidity/maturity transformation receive financing from regulated financial intermediaries against collateral other than government securities. The FSB invited comments from the public on these proposals by 28 November. As part of the development of these proposals, the FSB had launched a two-stage QIS in April 2013.

November 5, 2013--The EU economy has started growing again. Following a slow expansion of economic activity during the remainder of 2013, growth is set to become more robust in 2014 and 2015.

After several quarters of contracting activity, the European economy has started growing again in the second quarter of this year.

IMF Working paper-Spillovers to and from the Nordic Economies: A Macroeconometric Model Based Analysis

November 5, 2013--Summary: This paper analyzes the transmission of shocks and policies among and across the Nordic economies and the rest of the world. This spillover analysis is based on a pair of estimated structural macroeconometric models of the world economy, disaggregated into thirty five national economies.

We find that the Nordic economies are heavily exposed to external macroeconomic and financial shocks, but have significant scope to mitigate their domestic macroeconomic impacts through coordinated policy responses, given their high degree of regional integration.
