CEBS’S STATEMENT ON KEY FEATURES OF THE EXTENDED EU-WIDE STRESS TEST

July 7, 2010--Following its statement issued on 18 June 2010, CEBS provides further information on the EU-wide stress test exercise which is now being finalised by CEBS and the national supervisory authorities, in close cooperation with the ECB.

The objective of the extended stress test exercise is to assess the overall resilience of the EU banking sector and the banks’ ability to absorb further possible shocks on credit and market risks, including sovereign risks, and to assess the current dependence on public support measures. The exercise is being conducted on a bank-by-bank basis using commonly agreed macro-economic scenarios (baseline and adverse) for 2010 and 2011, developed in close cooperation with the ECB and the European Commission. The macro-economic scenarios include a set of key macro-economic variables (e.g. the evolution of GDP, of unemployment and of the consumer price index), differentiated for EU Member States, the rest of the EEA countries and the US. The exercise also envisages adverse conditions in financial markets and a shock on interest rates to capture an increase in risk premia linked to a deterioration in the EU government bond markets.

FESE Statement On Equity Market Data

July 7, 2010--Introductory Remarks:
FESE members operate Regulated Markets (RMs) that offer a transparent and neutral trading infrastructure to trade equities, bonds and derivatives. Exchanges fulfil a valuable function with significant positive externalities. The whole market benefits from the price discovery function offered by exchanges, including the competitors of exchanges and a full spectrum of users and investors investing in the EU Market.

The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) has enabled inter?market competition which has yielded significant benefits for European markets but also resulted in fragmentation of liquidity, making it difficult to source liquidity and assess execution quality. These challenges can be seen as a natural byproduct of competition, but more attention is needed to resolve the challenges created in the area of data. High?quality data is provided by RMs, which is made available through many channels and is being consolidated along with other available data by commercial providers. The underlying problem with data in Europe is the lack of availability of pre?trade OTC data, and the lack of consistency, granularity and poor quality of post?trade OTC data. These gaps can be addressed with a combination of MiFID amendments (to require data reporting where it is not currently required, and to require more granular and more timely data in other cases) and better mechanisms for monitoring the data reporting. Some of these improvements are already being considered by European policymakers.
