IMF Working Paper-Cars in Europe: Supply Chains and Spillovers during COVID-19 Times
January 14, 2022--Summary:
The auto sector is macro-critical in many European countries and constitutes one of the main supply chains in the region. Using a multi-sector and multi-country general equilibrium model, this paper presents a quantitative assessment of the impact of global pandemic-induced labor supply shocks-both directly and via supply chains-during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic on the auto sector and aggregate activity in Europe.
Our results suggest that these labor supply shocks would have a significant adverse impact on the major auto producers in Europe, with one-third of the decline in the value added of the car sector attributable to spillovers via supply chains within and across borders. Within borders, the pandemic-induced labor supply shocks in the services sector have a bigger adverse impact, reflecting their larger size and associated demand effects. Across borders, spillovers from the pandemic-induced labor supply shocks that originate in other European countries are larger than those that originate outside the region, though the latter are still sizable.

This increase reflected a shift in the services balance from a deficit of €45 billion to a surplus of €91 billion, a larger surplus for goods (from €320 billion to €360 billion) and slightly larger surplus for primary income (from €50 billion to €52 billion). These developments were partly offset by a larger deficit for secondary income (from €146 billion to €169 billion).

Latest statistical report from ESMA provides a misleading picture of European securities markets, says industry
December 22, 2021--Omitting UK data from its report is highly concerning, say industry associations.
ESMA's decision to omit UK and other trading data from its 2021 Annual Statistics Report (ASR) has caused an outpouring of comments on social media and led industry associations to accuse it of misrepresenting EU securities markets, which could scupper efforts to deliver a consolidated tape for equities.
Even though the UK was "a central part" of the European securities markets up until it left the EU at the end of 2020, ESMA says the main indicators in its latest stats report, show European securities markets data post-Brexit, which excludes UK data. "The comparability with statistics we had published in earlier publications is, therefore, highly limited," it writes in the executive summary of the controversial report. "In particular, the approach is likely to underestimate OTC trading for all instruments, since many European investment firms reported to UK reporting service providers in 2020, whose reports are not included when presenting the EEA30."
