Boost-BoE's QE exit ahead of Fed boosts sterling, but pressures FTSE 100
September 30, 2013--Summary
Further strengthening of the pound is likely with the BoE looking ready to exit QE sooner than the Fed. High inflation and broad-based growth in the UK should trigger BoE to act soon.
UK equities are increasingly reacting negatively to a rallying pound. The dissipating crisis mode of markets is pressuring exporters to overcome the pound's revaluation fears.
Investors who share this view may consider the following short positions on the FTSE 100>>

Turkey: Concluding Statement of the IMF Mission for the 2013 Article IV Consultation
September 30, 2013--In 2012, Turkey achieved a welcome reduction of imbalances while maintaining positive growth. In 2013, growth is accelerating and rotating back to domestic demand. With imbalances still high and the global financial environment less forgiving, reducing these vulnerabilities should be the overarching focus of short-and medium-term policies.
In the short run, monetary policy needs to be tightened further to meet the authorities' inflation target and provide an adequate nominal anchor. Fiscal policy should also be tightened to increase the structural primary surplus in 2014. In the medium term, the main challenges for Turkey remain raising domestic savings and pressing ahead with structural reforms. Both would serve to increase the long-term growth potential of the economy, while maintaining a sustainable external position.

IMF Country report-Italy: Selected Issues
September 27, 2013--Summary:Italian Productivity, Innovation, and Competitiveness
In Italy, as in many countries, price-based competitiveness measures have not always been an accurate guide to subsequent trade developments.
This chapter offers a more comprehensive assessment of Italian export competitiveness, focusing in particular on the evolution of Italy's export market share.
Judicial System Reform-A Key to Growth The inefficient Italian judicial system has contributed to a difficult business environment and lower investment. Improving the efficiency of the judicial system will require strengthening the mediation system, enhancing court management and accountability, and reforming the appeal system.
Reforming Capital Taxation in Italy This chapter reviews capital taxation issues based on a comprehensive definition encompassing taxes on income, transactions, and ownership. It discusses options to enhance the neutrality of the capital income tax system, followed by a detailed analysis of the property tax, the inheritance tax, and various transaction taxes. The chapter also examines whether substituting a single net wealth tax for the set of existing taxes could be beneficial in the medium-term.
