FSB releases consultation documents on measures to address systemically important financial institutions

July 19, 2011--The Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision are today launching a public consultation on two documents that set out proposed measures to address the systemic and moral hazard risks posed by systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs). The measures implement the framework contained in the FSB’s recommendations endorsed by the G20 Leaders in November 2010.

The consultative document on Effective Resolution of Systemically Important Financial Institutions (sets out a comprehensive package of proposed policy measures to improve the capacity of authorities to resolve failing SIFIs without systemic disruption and without exposing the taxpayer to the risk of loss. The proposed measures comprise four key building blocks:

Strengthened national resolution regimes that give a designated resolution authority a broad range of powers and tools, including statutory bail-in, to resolve a financial institution that is no longer viable.

Cross-border cooperation arrangements in the form of institution-specific cooperation agreements, underpinned by national law, that will enable resolution authorities to act collectively to resolve cross-border firms in a more orderly, less costly, way.

German pension schemes embracing socially responsible investment

July 19, 2011-Socially responsible investment (SRI) is on the rise in most German municipal funds and professional pension funds (Versorgungswerke), but it has failed to take off with federal and state funds, according to a study by SD-M and Allianz Global Investors

In a paper on the preliminary results of the survey – covering 150 pension organisations with more than €200bn in combined assets under managements – Axel Hesse, senior consultant at SD-M, found that roughly 60% of pension funds managing money for either certain professions (berufsständische Versorgungswerke) or for municipalities and churches in various provinces are already applying SRI criteria to their investment decisions.

Euro Area Policies: 2011 Article IV Consultation--Lessons from the European Financial Stability Framework Exercise; and Selected Issues Paper

July 19, 2011--EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The European Union’s (EU) financial stability framework is being markedly strengthened, with more responsibility for financial stability moving to the EU level.
Several new institutions have been operating since 1 January 2011, and progress is being made in harmonizing regulation, supervision, deposit insurance, crisis management and resolution, in particular.

This strengthening is taking place on the heels of a severe financial crisis which is still lingering in weaknesses in the banking system interrelated with sovereign difficulties in the euro area periphery. Constructing a new financial stability framework in the present macro-economic circumstances in the EU complicates the process and poses challenges.

This European Financial Stability Framework Exercise (EFFE), conducted by IMF staff, is expected to be a precursor to a Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) exercise for the EU area. It focuses on the internal consistency of the design of the new framework and on identifying outstanding issues. Assessing the functioning of the new institutions is premature given their recent setup, while issues related to the present macroeconomic scenario are being dealt with in the report on the euro area consultation discussions.

Revenues of $3.06bn were up 15 per cent on the year before, but BNY Mellon reported non-interest expenses up 21 per cent as the company integrated acquisitions, such as last year’s $2.31bn deal to buy PNC Financial Services’ global-investment services business, and faced significant litigation costs.
