Shadow Banking-Addressing New Sources of Risk in the Financial Sector- European Commission
September 3, 2013--Introduction
Since the financial crisis began in 2007/2008, the European Commission has undertaken the biggest reform of financial services ever seen in Europe. The aim is to restore sustainable
health and stability to this sector by addressing the shortcomings and weaknesses highlighted by the crisis.
The Commission's approach consists of tackling all financial risks, globally and comprehensively, and ensuring that the benefits achieved by strengthening certain actors and,markets are not diminished by financial risks moving to less highly regulated sectors. Such
regulatory arbitrage would greatly undermine the impact of the reforms.
The Commission has therefore published a Green Paper on shadow banking in March 20121, with a view to gathering input on how best to tackle risks stemming from credit intermediation that involves entities and activities outside the regular banking system.

Study: TARGET2-Securities has potential to reduce capital shortfall under Basel III rules by EUR 33 bn
T2S has potential to offer European banks 11 percent in capital savings of the OECD's projected EUR 295 bn capital shortfall in the Eurozone/ Reduced custody risk and enhanced collateral mobility materialize as additional T2S benefits/ Capital efficiency provides another good reason to start early
September 3, 2013--TARGET2-Securities (T2S) could help banks address 11 percent, or EUR 33 bn,
of the EUR 295 bn capital shortfall in the Eurozone estimated by the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as required to meet Basel III capital adequacy requirements rules designed to make banks safer.
These capital savings would be via reduced liquidity consumption, according to a study undertaken by Clearstream and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) that has now been released. Additional T2S benefits identified are reduced risk in the custody chain and enhanced collateral mobility to meet other new regulatory requirements designed to make the financial services sector more robust. These benefits would be on top of the efficiency gains and cost savings associated with lower settlement fees and harmonised post-trade processes already expected from the introduction of T2S.

ESMA has assessed the equivalence of the regulatory regimes of Australia (Ref. 2013/1159), Hong Kong (Ref. 2013/1160), Japan (Ref. 2013/1158), Singapore (Ref. 2013/1161), Switzerland (Ref. 2013/1162) and the US (Ref. 2013/1157). The third-country rules were compared with EMIR requirements for central clearing, reporting, CCPs, TRs and non-financial counterparties as well as risk mitigation techniques for uncleared trades.

Europe's emerging economies back on track
September 3, 2013--Central and eastern European countries have escaped most of the turmoil that has recently lashed emerging economies as they have been shielded by the recovery in the neighbouring eurozone.
"A number of equity markets in Emerging Europe--Poland's in particular--have proved relatively resilient during the recent emerging market sell-off," Capital Economics said in its August report.
"We think they may continue to outperform equities in other emerging market regions, even when prices begin to recover again."
