Economy: Growth picking up steam but recovery uneven, says OECD Economic Outlook

November 18, 2010--Economic activity in OECD countries will gradually pick up steam over the coming two years, but the recovery will be uneven and unemployment will remain persistently high, according to the OECD’s latest Economic Outlook.

With the functioning of the financial sector returning to normal and households and business in a position to renew spending and investment, the main challenge facing governments today is moving from a policy-driven recovery toward self-sustained growth.

IMF Working paper -Do Credit Shocks Matter? A Global Perspective

November 16, 2010--Summary: This paper examines the importance of credit market shocks in driving global business cycles over the period 1988:1-2009:4. We first estimate common components in various macroeconomic and financial variables of the G-7 countries.

We then evaluate the role played by credit market shocks using a series of VAR models. Our findings suggest that these shocks have been influential in driving global activity during the latest global recession. Credit shocks originating in the United States also have a significant impact on the evolution of world growth during global recessions.

IOSCO Publishes Final Report on Private Equity Conflicts of Interest

November 16, 2010--Executive Summary
In May 2008, IOSCO published a report identifying potential risks emerging from the private equity industry and outlining how IOSCO intended to address these risks. One of the key risks identified by this report was the potential for material conflicts of interest to exist among the parties involved in private equity sponsored transactions.

In light of this the report recommended that further work should be carried out to fully identify those conflicts of interest risks which are particular to private equity and to explore the extent to which these risks are subject to adequate methods of mitigation. This report provides a summary and the conclusions of the recommended follow-up work on conflicts of interest in private equity.
