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.

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.
