IMF warns against big bank deleveraging in Europe

April 18, 2012--Growing pressure on European banks to clean up their books could deeply impact economic growth in the eurozone, the International Monetary Fund warned Wednesday.

Though Europe's policymakers have taken important steps to address the public debt crisis, the pressure on banks to reduce their balance sheets could have negative consequences on output, the IMF said in its twice-yearly Global Financial Stability Report.

Pressures from the eurozone debt crisis and regulatory needs to strengthen capital cushions to regain investor trust are driving a broader effort to reduce balance sheet size, the report said.

A new EDHEC-Risk survey reveals that "transparency, information and governance" tops the list of concerns for European fund management industry professionals in the area of non-financial risk management

April 17, 2012--More than 160 high-level European fund management industry professionals were surveyed by EDHEC-Risk as part of the "Risk and Regulation in the European Fund Management Industry" research chair, sponsored by CACEIS.

For the respondents to this survey, entitled "Shedding Light on Non-Financial Risks – a European Survey," the main causes of the increase in non-financial risks are firstly the growing sophistication of operations (a cause considered important by 77% of respondents), followed by the reduced capacity of some intermediaries to guarantee deposits (59%), unclear or inappropriate regulation (57%) and finally the total absence of responsibility of management companies regarding restitution (53%).

The main message from this study is that the regulatory priorities for the respondents relate to themes to which the regulator has paid less attention in recent work, notably AIFMD. For the respondents, "transparency, information and governance" are the priority for the regulation of non-financial risks, followed by the financial responsibility of the industry. On the latter point, it is important to stress the recognition that non-financial risks are largely the consequence of the fund manager’s decisions.

April 16, 2012--Spain's economy minister admitted that the country has probably tipped into its second recession since 2009, as government debt yields climbed back towards danger levels on Monday on concerns that Madrid will miss its strict budget deficit targets.

Official data on total economic output in the first three months of this year is not due until April 30.

However, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said gross domestic product (GDP) was likely to have fallen a similar amount to the October-December period of 2011, when the economy shrank 0.3% quarter-on-quarter.
