Boerse Stuttgart reports 2012 turnover of almost EUR 90 billion

Trading volume down relative to 2011 due to a generally difficult market environment // Corporate bonds and reverse convertibles register significant year-on-year growth // Europe's market leader for securitised derivatives and Germany's market leader for corporate bonds
January 2, 2013--According to Boerse Stuttgart's order book statistics, aggregate turnover for 2012 amounted to more than EUR 89.2 billion.

This means that total trading volume was down almost 18 percent relative to the previous year's figures. The main reason was a generally difficult market environment, one characterised by uncertainty and hesitancy on the part of investors in the wake of the protracted European debt crisis. The rate of decline varied widely by asset class, however. Thus, debt instrument (bond) trading registered the smallest drop in turnover, while trading in investment fund units took the biggest hit.

With a trading volume of more than EUR 42 billion for securitised derivatives, Boerse Stuttgart retained its position as Europe's market leader for this asset class. There was particularly strong growth in the trading of reverse convertibles, which recorded an increase of over 25 percent.

Mifid II promises a new era for European ETF trading

December 28, 2012--Despite the name, exchange traded funds (ETFs) are largely traded off-exchange in Europe among big institutions.

Although this might seem like a harmless paradox, most over-the-counter (OTC) trades are not reported.

As a result, investors cannot easily gain an accurate idea of secondary market liquidity and pricing, ultimately hindering the industry’s growth on the continent.

IMF report-Turkey: Selected Issues

December 21, 2012--A. Introduction
1. In the aftermath of the 2008-09 global financial crisis the Turkish authorities faced a challenging environment. From late 2010, strong capital inflows led the Turkish lira (TL) to appreciate, undermining competitiveness, fueling a credit boom, adding to inflationary pressures, and increasing imports.

These developments left the economy exposed to the risk of a sudden capital flow reversal. Were the inflows to dry up—either in response to the

Turkey's imbalances or because of changes in the global risk appetite—the lira would have rapidly depreciated, adding to inflationary pressures (this time through the exchange-rate pass-through), affecting balance sheets of banks and corporates that had been borrowing in FX, and undermining overall confidence. Indeed, earlier examples of such reversals led to sharp contractions of output.2

IMF-France: Financial System Stability Assessment

December 21, 2012--EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
French banks have shown significant resilience during the global financial crisis, but face challenges. While their diversified structure has contributed to solid profit generation, the crisis exposed the risks posed by their size and complexity.

A permanent change in the regulatory landscape and operating environment has exposed an overreliance on wholesale funding, and recent events in Europe are putting pressure on their regional and international activities in both retail and capital markets. Significant uncertainties remain on the resolution of the eurozone crisis, and how it may affect the French financial system and economy.

French banks are addressing these challenges by actively seeking to restructure their balance sheets, but the process is not yet complete. They are increasing liquidity and reducing their dependence on short-term and U.S. dollar wholesale funding, including through deleveraging abroad; reducing their cross-border presence in Europe and elsewhere;
raising solvency ratios, mainly through retained earnings and lower dividends; and
reducing activities that are dependent on short-term funding, capital intensive, and less profitable.

So far, deleveraging does not appear to have weighed on the real economy, but the future path is likely to be more challenging, particularly if the eurozone crisis intensifies.

Ring-fence needs electrification, says Banking Commission report

December 21, 2012--The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards has today published its first report. The report contains the Commission's consideration of the Government's draft Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill and associated proposals which give effect to the recommendations of the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB).

Commenting on the publication of the report, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, Andrew Tyrie MP, said:

"Parliament took the unprecedented step of creating its own inquiry into banking standards, in the wake of the first revelations about the Libor scandal. The latest revelations of collusion, corruption and market-rigging beggar belief. It is the clearest illustration yet that a great deal more needs to be done to restore standards in banking.

The Government asked us to look at one of its main proposals for increasing financial stability – ring-fencing – as part of our work.
