FCA proposes new rules on dealing commission for investment managers
November 25, 2013--The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has today proposed improvements to the rules and new guidance over investment managers' use of client commissions.
These changes will ensure that charges paid by consumers for executing trades and related services- known as dealing commission-are fairer and more transparent.
The consultation forms part of a wider discussion launched by FCA CEO Martin Wheatley at the FCA Asset Management Conference in October 2013, to consider the potential for wider reforms to address flaws in the use of the dealing commission regime in light of potential EU reforms in this area and a growing consensus in the industry that existing practices can be improved.

Russians see no cause for alarm in crackdown on shadowy banking
November 24, 2013--The problems exposed in Russia's banking system by last week's collapse of mid-sized lender Master Bank are deep-rooted, but in contrast with banking failures of the past there was no evidence this time of other banks' customers taking fright.Which might seem surprising, as the collapse has highlighted the difficulty of enforcing regulations against banks with strong political connections, and the widespread use of illegal payments to service Russia's large black economy, analysts said.
"Other banks are in the same situation as Master Bank, that's for sure," said Alexander Lebedev, the media tycoon and banker. "Whether the central bank will have enough guts (to act) -- let's wait and see."The central bank withdrew the license of Master Bank on Wednesday, citing "large-scale dubious operations" and causing payment difficulties for clients and some other banks that used it to process card transactions. "We don't see any rise in the rates on the interbank market or on the government bond market, so it's a very local event', said Maxim Osadchy, head analyst at BKF bank in Moscow.

S&P says Turkish economy stable but risks remain
November 22, 2013--Ratings agency Standard & Poor's said on Friday it maintains its earlier stable outlook on the Turkish economy but added that certain risks expose Turkish markets to global shocks.The agency affirmed Turkey's sovereign credit rating of BB+, citing strong growth prospects.
S&P said a lingering current account deficit (CAD) problem along with fast-growing consumer loans could pose risks to the Turkish economy. Noting that Turkey's need for external financing continues, S&P said it will get even more expensive to receive foreign loans, thus hurting economic balances. However, the agency highlighted positive developments in fiscal balance and growth.It also estimated that Turkey's inflation will reach 8 percent by the end of this year. Turkey's monthly inflation rate saw a 12-month high in October when it rose 1.8 percent, but annualized consumer prices fell to 7.71 percent according to the Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkStat).
