ESAs publish joint advice to the EU Commission on the review of the securitisation prudential framework
December 12, 2022--The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA -ESAs) today published a joint advice in response to the European Commission's October 2021 call for advice on the review of the securitisation prudential framework.
The ESAs welcome the current review as an opportunity to assess the performance of the current framework and support the objective of reviving the EU securitisation market.
The targeted proposals in the advice aim at improving the consistency and risk sensitivity of the capital framework for banks whereas the liquidity framework for banks and the prudential framework for (re)insurers should be maintained as it currently stands. However, the ESAs believe that re-calibrating the securitisation prudential framework would not be a solution that in itself would ensure the revival of the securitisation market.

Five new ETCs from Societe Generale on Xetra: access to the energy and precious metals commodities sector as well as CO2 emission rights
December 9, 2022--Since Friday, five new exchange-traded commodities (ETCs) of Société Générale are tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt.
With its ETCs, Société Générale offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to the commodities market via futures contracts. In the energy sector, its product range includes ETCs on the performance of Henry Hub Natural Gas and Brent Crude Oil. In the precious metals sector, ETCs are available on the futures contracts of gold and silver.
In addition, the ETC on the ICE EUA Futures offers an investment in futures contracts on CO2 emission rights (ICE EAU).
All five ETCs are fully collateralised. Since futures contracts have a limited term, they are generally exchanged before maturity for the futures contract with the next maturity date (so-called roll-over). Depending on whether the purchased futures contract is cheaper or more expensive than the sold futures contract, roll profits or roll losses are achieved.

World Bank Releases Its First Report on the Circular Economy in the EU, Says Decoupling Growth From Resource Use in Europe Achievable Within Decade
December 6, 2022--Globally, extraction of raw materials stands at over 100 billion tons, annually. This staggering figure is driven by both the persistently high levels of material consumption in high-income countries and the rapidly growing needs in emerging economies.
The World Bank's first comprehensive report on the circular economy in the European Union (EU)-"Squaring the Circle: Policies from Europe's Circular Economy Transition"-states that the current "take-make-use-waste" linear model of economic expansion is increasingly unsustainable, not only on environmental terms, but also from an economic security and inclusion dimension. The report concludes, however, that comprehensive policy packages can reduce material consumption while still maintaining growth and welfare creation.
