IMF Assessment of Financial Stability in Europe: Much Achieved to Address the Crisis but Vulnerabilities Remain and Intensified Efforts Needed
March 15, 2013--In its first-ever overall assessment of the soundness and stability of the European Union's financial sector, under its Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP), International Monetary Fund (IMF) says that much has been achieved to address financial crisis in Europe but vulnerabilities remain and intensified efforts are needed across a wide front:
Bank balance sheet repair. Progress toward strong capital buffers needs to be secured and disclosures enhanced. To reinforce the process, selective asset quality reviews should be conducted by national authorities, coordinated at the EU level.
Home > ESMA requires further improvements by CRAs
March 18, 2013--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published its second Annual Report on its supervision of credit rating agencies (CRAs) in the European Union.
The report summarises the supervisory work undertaken by ESMA, during 2012, in ensuring that CRAs complied with the CRA Regulation. The report includes details on ESMA’s supervisory, registration, and policy work; and focuses on its investigation into bank rating methodologies and the follow up work to the March 2012 report on deficiencies in CRAs rating processes, governance and control mechanisms.
ESMA has identified progress by CRAs in their activities including improved disclosure of methodologies and ratings; internal control resources; involvement of senior management in governance and record-keeping practices. However, the report finds that CRAs have not sufficiently embedded the main requirements of the CRA Regulation in their organisations, and ESMA believes that improvements are still necessary in the following areas:

ETF-Radar-Expert Talk with Hector McNeil
Hector McNeil, Co-Founder Boost ETP
"We expect to list across Europe."
March 13, 2013--Hector, could please explain Boost ETP and your product range in one sentence?
BOOST is a new independent issuer of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) focusing on 3x short and leveraged multi asset exposures.
What was the motivation for launching Boost ETP in times of deleveraging?
Leveraged and short ETPs account for $45bn of AUM globally, 10bn in Europe and have been around since 2005. Unlike the US, which accounts for most of the AUM, there are no specialist providers of the products and no one who provides a 3x platform. As there are no advocates in Europe we feel by being specialists and focused we can carve out an attractive and value added niche.

Data confirms recession in weakest eurozone economies
March 12, 2013--Data published on Monday confirmed recession in the eurozone's weakest economies last year, breathing new life into a heated debate on whether aggressive austerity measures may come at the cost of economic growth.
The dire individual statistics for Italy, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus come just days ahead of a EU summit where the bloc's leaders are to mull ways to tackle the debt crisis, with countries led by France calling for growth measures while others led by Germany are holding firm for fiscal discipline.
Last week, the EU's Eurostat data agency said that the 17-member eurozone sank deeper into recession in the last three months of 2012, with aggregate economic activity shrinking by 0.6 percent compared with the third quarter, when it had contracted by 0.1 percent.
