ECB-Meeting of 9-10 December 2020
Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 9-10 December 2020


January 14, 2021--Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 9-10 December 2020
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments

Ms Schnabel reviewed the financial market developments since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 28-29 October 2020.
Developments in global financial markets had been driven by a strong improvement in risk sentiment. The main catalyst had been the news on the effectiveness and imminent roll-out of multiple coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. Two additional factors had reinforced and amplified the improvement in risk sentiment. First, there were growing signs of a forthcoming bipartisan fiscal stimulus programme in the United States in the wake of the formal commencement of the presidential transition process. Second, the communication by the ECB's Governing Council that it would recalibrate its instruments at its December meeting had strengthened confidence in the ECB's commitment to monetary policy remaining a reliable source of support. This commitment had supported a broad-based easing of financial conditions.

A green industrial policy for Europe

January 13, 2021--A 'green industrial policy' able to promote economic growth, job creation and environmental goals altogether will be fundamental to Europe's climate change ambitions.

The European Green Deal aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. This is not going to be an easy journey. To be successful, the European Green Deal will have to foster major shifts in the European industrial structure, including transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy and from combustion engine cars to electric cars. Shifting economies from brown to green would be a historic socio-economic transformation. Not by coincidence, this challenge is often referred to as an industrial revolution against a deadline. In this context of broad, paradigmatic, change for European industry, a 'green industrial policy' able to promote economic growth, job creation and environmental goals altogether will be fundamental to Europe's climate change ambitions.

ESMA reminds firms of the MiFID II rules on reverse solicitation

January 13, 2021--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities markets regulator, is issuing a Public Statement to remind firms of the MiFID II requirements on the provision of investments services to retail or professional clients by firms not established or situated in the European Union (EU).

With the end of the UK transition period on 31 December 2020, some questionable practices by firms around reverse solicitation, where the product or service is marketed at the client's own exclusive initiative, have emerged.

For example, some firms appear to be trying to circumvent MiFID II requirements by including general clauses in their Terms of Business or through the use of online pop-up "I agree" boxes whereby clients state that any transaction is executed on the exclusive initiative of the client.
