Deal on stricter EU rules for sovereign debt ratings

November 28, 2012--Credit rating agencies will have to obey additional rules on sovereign debt ratings, including three set dates per year for issuing them, under a deal agreed by Parliament, the Council and the Commission on Tuesday.

Cross-ownership of agencies and the entities that they rate will be limited to prevent conflicts of interest.

"It was a very difficult process, but we have taken the existing legislation a step forward on a path which will have to be explored further", said lead MEP Leonardo Domenici (S&D, IT).

Some MEPs argued that more must be done to curb the behaviour of agencies whose ratings may be ill-timed or ill-founded and thus aggravate the economic crisis. They believe that the rating market needs more competition, and that rated entities should develop their own rating capacities to counterbalance those of the agencies.

IMF-Spain: Financial Sector Reform-First Progress Report

November 28, 2012--EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main finding of the report is that important progress has been made in reforming the financial sector. In the view of IMF staff, the financial sector program is on track so far, with all deadlines met.

However, the most challenging steps lie ahead, especially those related to implementing bank restructuring plans and making the asset management company effective.
Recent developments and the outlook in key areas are as follows:

Macro-financial context: Financial market conditions have improved since the announcement of the European Central Bank’s Outright Monetary Transactions program, though they remain difficult. The economy faces further headwinds from private-sector deleveraging, tight credit, falling house prices, fiscal consolidation, and weak confidence amidst high uncertainty, as major pre-crisis imbalances correct.
