The Role Of Economic Research In Central Banking, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher J. Waller, At The Award Ceremony For The Winners Of The Bank Al-Maghrib Prize For Economic And Financial Research, Bank Of Al-Maghrib, Rabat, Morocco

Date 14/05/2025

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today.

I have spent most of my career conducting research and overseeing research by others, first as a professor and later as a research director in the Federal Reserve System. More recently, I have been more of a consumer than a producer of research as a member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Eight times a year, the FOMC meets to set the appropriate stance of monetary policy to achieve the economic goals assigned to us by the U.S. Congress. We discuss where the economy stands in relation to those goals, how it is likely to evolve, and the implications for monetary policy. We examine hard statistical data, "soft" data in the form of surveys and input from business contacts, and other domestic and global factors.

Date 14/05/2025

Solactive is pleased to announce its inaugural collaboration with Meritz Securities by supporting the launch of 3 ETNs, each tracking to the Solactive WTI Leverage Index family.  Considering persistent global market fluctuations and heightened uncertainty surrounding energy supply chains, crude oil has reasserted its role as a key instrument for tactical asset allocation. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil continues to draw investor attention due to its sensitivity to geopolitical and macroeconomic developments. Leveraged strategies offer investors the ability to capitalize on directional views—either bullish or bearish — on short-term WTI price movements. Moreover, given WTI’s differentiated correlation profile versus equities and fixed income, the indices may serve as effective diversifiers within broader multi-asset portfolios.

Euroclear Reports Strong Business Income Growth In Q1 2025

Date 14/05/2025

Financial highlights

Strong underlying business growth offsetting lower interest income

• Underlying business income for Q1 2025 reached a record €466 million, representing a 10% increase compared to Q1 2024. This growth was supported by robust business drivers, including fixed income issuance, increased equity quotations, and increased settlement activity due to market volatility related to geopolitical uncertainty.
• Underlying interest and banking income decreased by 10% compared to Q1 2024, to €255 million as expected given the declining interest rate environment. The impact was partially mitigated by increased cash balances.
• Underlying costs rose by 5%, broadly in line with expectations. This reflects investments in strategic development initiatives and inflation. Cost containment measures initiated last year continue to progress.
• As result of the positive operating leverage, business income operating margin improved from 23.4% in Q1 2024 to 27.1% in Q1 2025.
• Resulting adjusted net profit of €283 million decreased slightly by 1%. Adjusted Earnings Per Share remain stable year-on-year at €90.
• Euroclear Group retains a very strong capital position, comfortably above regulatory requirements with a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of around 61%.
