Eurobonds and shorter-term solutions needed for Eurozone stability

February 15, 2012--Eurobonds will be a source of stability for the Eurozone in the medium term, but only when its remaining design issues are resolved, said Parliament in a resolution voted on Wednesday. At the same time, other financial instruments must be put in place rapidly to meet the bloc's short-term needs, such as the redemption pact proposed by the German Council of Economic Advisers, it added.

On Tuesday the Commission was questioned in plenary on the responses received so far to the green paper on introducing "stability bonds".

Questions still open on green paper

The resolution welcomes the Commission's green paper but also notes that further work is required on some issues. These would include specific ways of addressing potential moral hazard, making the system attractive for AAA countries as well as heavily indebted ones, increasing competitiveness, and introducing enforceable debt reduction systems.

Bulgarian Stock Exchange to synchronize trading hours with the international markets

February 14, 2012--The Bulgarian Stock Exchange has announced today a change in its trading timetable. The purpose is to synchronize the exchange's trading session hours with the European markets and thus fulfilling one of the objectives set in the "BSE Development Strategy until 2012". Under the plan, the time interval for executing trades on the exchange will be extended.

Prolonged trading sessions will make it possible to cover a wider time range for trading on international exchanges and will concur with the duration of the stock markets in Western Europe and North America. Restructuring the BSE trading sessions is also a prerequisite for introducing new products based on mutual indices, as well as for the possibility to carry out arbitrage in the case of dual listings.

Germany is leading the charts on employment and green growth-Transition to a knowledge based economy will require further reform and investment, OECD says

February 14, 2012--The German economy recovered rapidly from the 2008-09 recession, with GDP topping pre-crisis rates during 2011 and unemployment falling significantly. According to the OECD's latest Economic Survey of Germany presented today in Berlin by OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría, Germany has an impressive economic track record, but now faces a cyclical return to slower growth rates and challenges to lay the foundations for long-term growth.

The report cites numerous downside risks posed by the global slowdown, the deterioration of world trade and the euro area debt crisis. Given the weight and importance of Germany’s economy for Europe, growth-enhancing structural reforms can make an important contribution to stronger and more balanced growth perspectives not only in Germany but also in the Euro area.
