Trading venues should provide data access on a “transparent and non-discriminatory basis,” according to a document obtained by Bloomberg News. Banks and trading facilities would also have to publicize “bid and offer prices and the depth of trading interests” for bonds and derivatives, to increase transparency in markets that were previously subject to fewer regulations, according to the European Commission document.

Europe rejects IMF call for more bank capital

September 2, 2011-European politicians on Thursday rejected an International Monetary Fund call for banks to raise up to 200 billion euros ($290 billion) in new capital, adding to fears that policymakers may be underestimating the severity of the debt crisis.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde's call on Saturday for mandatory capitalization of European banks to prevent a world recession has reignited a debate over whether they have raised sufficient capital to withstand a severe downturn. The IMF, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and bank analysts have voiced concerns about a capital shortfall, while European regulators, politicians and banking associations argue that banks have a sufficient cushion to cope with market turbulence and worries over sovereign debt after several rounds of capital raising across the continent. A European source told Reuters on Wednesday that the IMF had estimated European banks could face a capital shortfall of 200 billion euros, a figure rejected by European bankers and policymakers.
