Goodbye To All That: The End Of LIBOR: Federal Reserve Vice Chair For Supervision Randal K. Quarles, At The Structured Finance Association Conference, Las Vegas, Nevada

Date 05/10/2021

Now that business travel has started to pick back up as we emerge from the COVID event, a prosaic but insistent problem has reappeared: what to read on a long plane flight. Like most of you, I try to get some work done—but, also like most of you, out of an amalgam of security concerns and indolence, I often don't succeed. Something must improve the hours, but Kant is a little heavy, P.G. Wodehouse a little light, and T.S. Eliot looks like you're just showing off. So, over the last few weeks, I've been re-reading Joan Didion while making my way from point A to point B: Slouching Toward Bethlehem, The White Album, and Where I Was From. As it turns out, Joan Didion is a particularly apt author to be reading on the way to this conference—not because the conference is being held in Las Vegas, although her four-page summation of this "most extreme and allegorical of American settlements" is a classic. But rather, because a nearly constant theme of her writing is change: how hard it is to recognize that things have changed; how hard it is to come to terms with it once recognized; how insistent people can be that surely, they will be OK.

Europex : Supporting An EU ETS That Is “Fit For 55”

Date 05/10/2021

Europex welcomes the holistic ‘Fit for 55’ Package as a decisive step towards achieving Europe’s green transition. The package underlines the common understanding that competitive energy and emissions markets must drive decarbonisation efforts to achieve the EU’s green policy objectives at least cost to the economy and consumers, while ensuring a high level of competition and innovation. As Europe’s primary policy tool to combat climate change, the review of the EU ETS plays a fundamental role in delivering the EU’s ambitious 2030 and 2050 decarbonisation targets and broader Green Deal objectives. Such a review must ensure continued commitment to strong market principles that safeguard the undistorted price signals, efficiency, transparency and liquidity of the emissions market.
