European ETF sec lending revenue hit 40 EURO million in 2011

August 31, 2012--A survey has found that approximately €40 million in net revenue was generated from securities lending in European physical replication exchange traded funds (ETFs) last year.

Information and data provider Morningstar’s survey of 10 European providers of physical replication ETFs comes after the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) released controversial guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues that affect securities lending in July.

The guidelines were developed following a review of the current regulatory regime in Europe. ESMA found it to be “insufficient to address the specific features and risks associated with” index-tracking UCITS and UCITS ETFs and the efficient portfolio management techniques, such as securities lending, repo and reverse repo, that they may carry out.

Brussels pushes for wide ECB powers

August 31, 2012--The European Central Bank would be given sweeping authority over all 6,000 eurozone banks under a plan being drawn up by the European Commission, putting Brussels on a collision course with Germany and the ECB itself, which have urged a more decentralised first step towards "banking union".

The plan, agreed at a meeting this week between top aides to José Manuel Barroso, commission president, and Michel Barnier, the EU's senior financial regulator, would strip existing national supervisors of almost all authority to shut down or restructure their countries' failing banks, giving those powers to Frankfurt.

Economic sentiment declines further in both the EU and the euro area

August 30, 2012--In August the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) decreased markedly by 2.0 points in the EU, to 87.0, and by 1.8 points in the euro area, to 86.1.

On the contrary, while confidence in industry decreased in the EU, it remained broadly stable in the euro area.
