BIS: The Fiscal Response To The Covid-19 Crisis In Advanced And Emerging Market Economies

Date 17/06/2020

Key takeaways

• The fiscal policy response to the Covid-19 crisis has been swift and strong, in tandem with monetary policy. Advanced economies (AEs) have deployed a much larger fiscal response than emerging market economies (EMEs).
• The lower incidence of the pandemic in EMEs does not fully explain the difference. A narrower fiscal policy space in EMEs, further reduced by the tightening of their financing conditions induced by the pandemic shock, has constrained their fiscal response.
• The size and composition of the fiscal response also depend on other factors such as the level of income and the strength of the social safety nets and automatic stabilisers.

Date 17/06/2020

The SEC put in a spectacular effort with its new proposed rule 614. They expected that Competing Consolidators (CCs) under a Decentralized Consolidation Model (DCM) would “permit the market data infrastructure to more readily adapt to changes in technology to better fit the needs of market participants…” As much as we wanted to be a contender, we raised 15 rebuttals and think that the proposal may be impractical (see Table 1 of our 97-page submitted comments).
