France signals nine eurozone states ready to trigger FTT

February 8, 2012--French Finance Minister Francois Baroin signalled Tuesday that nine eurozone governments are ready to press ahead with the introduction of a Paris-inspired financial transactions tax.

Baroin's office said the minister had written to the European Union's current Danish presidency asking for examination of a draft law championed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to be examined by the summer.

The fact that nine countries are signatories to the letter is highly significant, as it paves the way for a special provision of the EU's Lisbon Treaty that allows at least one third of the EU's member states to trailblaze new laws by themselves.

Greek euro exit less damaging now: Dutch PM

January 7, 2012--A Greek exit from the eurozone now would be less risky than if it had happened in mid-2010 when its debt crisis first broke, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Tuesday as bailout talks in Athens went to the wire.

"There is less risk now," Rutte told public radio.

"It is in our interest that Greece remain (in the eurozone) and to achieve that it must do all it has promised to do ... but if that does not work out, then we are stronger now that a year and a half ago," he added.

Getting the best out of a financial transaction tax

February 7, 2012--A Eurozone financial transaction tax would not only curb high-frequency and intermediary traders, but could even boost overall GDP, said financial experts at an Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee hearing on Monday. MEPs also reiterated their support for the idea, although some said that the Commission proposal needs more fine tuning.

Avinash Persaud of Intelligence Capital, Sony Kapoor of Re-Define and Stephany Griffith-Jones of Colombia University all strongly advocated a financial transaction tax which, they argued would indeed hit the right players, such as high frequency traders and intermediary financial players, and not the real economy.

Indeed the overall impact of this tax could be directly beneficial, leading to a 0.25% increase in GDP and helping to stabilise the economy by curbing the practices most responsible for building up risk.

However, Richard Raeburn of the European Association of Corporate Treasurers, did worry that the cumulative impact of the tax, paid by all intermediaries in a transaction, would be too high and warned that end users could be hit harder than they should.
