ECB publishes book on the payment system and the role of the Eurosystem in this field

September 6, 2010--The European Central Bank (ECB) has today published a book entitled “The payment system – payments, securities and derivatives, and the role of the Eurosystem”. It provides comprehensive insight into the handling of financial transactions and the functioning of the related financial market infrastructure – a core component of the financial system. It also explains the role and policies of the Eurosystem – which comprises the ECB and the 16 national central banks of the euro area – in this field.

The book is in three parts. The first provides insight into the market infrastructure of modern economies with a view to examining key concepts which have general validity and are thus applicable around the world. Emphasis is placed on the principles governing the functioning of the relevant systems and processes and the presentation of the underlying economic, business, legal, institutional, organisational and policy issues. The second concentrates on issues concerning the market infrastructure for the handling of euro-denominated payments, securities and derivatives, as well as the most important EU legislation. The third explains the operational, oversight and catalyst roles of the Eurosystem and the policies established by the Governing Council of the ECB in this field. It also considers the legal basis for the Eurosystem’s involvement and describes the transparent and cooperative approach adopted by the Eurosystem with a view to pursuing its public policy objectives while acting within a modern market economy environment.

German banks try to fend off Basel III

September 6, 2010--Germany’s top 10 banks will have to raise as much as €105bn ($135bn) of fresh capital under a global regulatory overhaul, the country’s banking industry has warned, in a last-ditch effort to change tough new rules

The so-called Basel III rules would stymie the banks’ ability to function, curtail lending and undermine Europe’s biggest economy, said the Bundesverband deutscher Banken, representing private sector banks.

e warning on Monday came a day ahead of a meeting of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which is putting the finishing touches to rules governing the capital and liquidity requirements for banks.

Troubles mount for EU bid to re-draw economic government

September 6, 2010--Plans to radically re-draw cross-border economic government across Europe hit a stumbling block on Monday, 10 days from a deadline for concrete action set by European Union leaders.

The fourth meeting of EU president Herman Van Rompuy's "task force," charged with learning the lessons of the global financial crisis and the debt chaos it left in its wake across the eurozone, ended with "too many voices, too may views," in the words of one minister, Slovakia's Ivan Miklos.

"The discussions are stuck, there's a block," admitted a European diplomat after some four hours of talks. "It can't be ruled out that with signs of economic trouble up ahead, certain governments are less inclined than before to toughen budgetary discipline."

An "in-depth discussion on national fiscal frameworks, macro-economic surveillance and sanctions," according to Van Rompuy, resulted in an order for experts to "pursue their work" enabling him to complete his "oral" report to national leaders at a summit on September 16.

Bank levies for bank problems, not hard-up governments: EU

September 6, 2010--Levies on banks across Europe should be designed to avoid costly bills for ordinary taxpayers if debts go bad again in future, and not to prop up short-changed governments, the EU said on Monday.

The drive to force banks to pay a percentage of their income into sector-specific rainy-day funds puts Brussels policymakers on a direct collision course with the British government.

London has already announced that it will levy banks from January next year, but with the proceeds going into general government revenue which can be used to help offset massive cuts in health, education and other services provision amid the fallout from recession.
