ISDA Paper On Unique Product Identifiers

Date 10/11/2023

On November 9, ISDA sent a paper to the European Commission and UK Financial Conduct Authority recommending that over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are identified using unique product identifiers (UPIs) for EU and UK transparency requirements, augmented with some key trade-level attributes (known as UPI+). ISDA believes this would be more appropriate than ISINs because it would enable users to aggregate and perform meaningful analysis on instrument pricing across the market. These additional attributes would ensure OTC derivatives could be identified and aggregated in a way that is useful to market participants while providing sufficient granularity to distinguish between different products.

BIS: Do Banks Practice What They Preach? Brown Lending And Environmental Disclosure In The Euro Area

Date 10/11/2023

The reduction of information asymmetries between banks and their stakeholders is essential to guarantee the functioning of the market discipline mechanisms that allow investors, depositors and other actors to monitor bank risk-taking practices. Despite regulatory requirements, there is still a risk that banks may engage in "environmental window dressing", which involves increasing the environmental disclosure in their financial reports without actually acting as environmentally responsible lenders (ie not practising what they preach).

BIS: Profitability, Valuation And Resilience Of Global Banks - A Tight Link

Date 10/11/2023

Equity valuations signal investors' persistent concerns about some global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). For these banks, the price-to-book ratio (PBR) – the market value relative to the accounting value of equity – has been trending downward or has remained at deeply low levels over most of the past decade. A low PBR indicates investor scepticism regarding the bank's capacity to sustainably generate profits. Against this backdrop, we investigate whether profitability deficiencies can undermine resilience.
