BETTER FINANCE @ ECB Listens on the impact of monetary policy on global challenges - PART 2
President Christine Lagarde and Chief Economist Philip R. Lane hosted the first ECB Listens event on 21 October 2020. The virtual event brought together a range of European-level civil society organisations to hear their views on the impact of the ECB’s monetary policy and communication and on the global challenges ahead. Guillaume Prache, Managing Director of BETTER FINANCE, addressed the event, stating that the ECB should internalise externalities that are not priced by markets. BETTER FINANCE proposes to request beneficiaries (banks, EU national governments) of de facto subsidies from the ECB, to allocate a minimum of these to activities improving ESG issues and hold them accountable through KPIs. -
BETTER FINANCE intervention @ ECB Listens on the impact of monetary policy on global challenges
President Christine Lagarde and Chief Economist Philip R. Lane hosted the first ECB Listens event on 21 October 2020. The virtual event brought together a range of European-level civil society organisations to hear their views on the impact of the ECB’s monetary policy and communication and on the global challenges ahead. Guillaume Prache, Managing Director of BETTER FINANCE, addressed the event, stating that "the way the ECB has been pursuing financial stability is driving Financial Repression, by favouring short-term financial support to financial institutions over protection of financial consumers". "Pension products are long-term by nature. The cumulative effect of inflation, even with modest average annual inflation of 2% over 40 years would decrease savings by 55%. BETTER FINANCE warns about the danger of “money illusion” for EU pension savers." -
European Pension Savers under Financial Repression: is PEPP a solution?

CFA Institute and BETTER FINANCE address the recent boom of SPACs in a joint research report that brings a pragmatic view of the issues facing European retail investors and investment professionals that are considering a move into this rapidly evolving (and for many, unfamiliar) territory. Roberto Silvestri, Josina Kamerling and Edoardo Carlucci discuss the possible role of SPACs in the context of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) in the EU, and the main regulatory issues concerning transparency and information disclosure, investor protection, and supervision.

Can Sustainable Value for Money be Achieved?
Josina Kamerling, head of regulatory outreach for CFA Institute for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and Guillaume Prache, Managing Director of BETTER FINANCE discuss a hot topic, sustainable value for money, based on a survey taken with CFA Institute and BETTER FINANCE. They address the gap between what financial professionals believe they should provide in order to deliver sustainable value for money and what retail investors expect and what is being done to create an alignment of those priorities. They delve into the impacts that duty of care, ESG investing, MiFID II, Key Information Documents (KIDs), among others factors have on sustainable value.
