EMIR Special Report
The European Union's new derivatives reporting rules under EMIR go into effect on February 12, 2014. These rules require firms to report over-the-counter derivatives transactions to trade repositories. While preparations are underway, some businesses warn they may not have all systems in place by the deadline. The rules bring more regulation to the $693 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market and aim to increase transparency after the 2008 financial crisis.
Hst121 f11 week 2 - t
The document outlines the week's objectives for a history class which are to explain what history is and is not, understand how and why history develops, and apply new historical information through weekly readings, class discussions, and online posts. It also includes questions from students about various historical topics they want clarification on or find confusing.
U.k. Election Special
Britain’s two-party system is being eroded by an unprecedented surge of support for smaller parties. This Bloomberg Brief report examines the implications of the most uncertain general election in a generation.
Special Report Bankruptcy Forum
The document summarizes recommendations from a report by the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) commission on reforms to U.S. bankruptcy law. The ABI commission studied issues that were not contemplated in the 1978 Bankruptcy Code and proposed several changes. These include: slightly slowing the increasing speed of bankruptcy sales, restricting the use of "milestones" that require a sale within 60 days; trimming back the protections of "safe harbors" for securities transactions; and giving more protections to unions and trademark license holders in business sales.
Bitcoin:What is the Future?
The article discusses the growing pains facing bitcoin as it transitions from a novelty to a mainstream currency and payment system. While startups are forming around uses like brokerages and bitcoin storage, consumers remain unconvinced of using bitcoin to buy goods and services. Regulators are also proving challenging, imposing new rules around capital gains taxes and how banks can handle bitcoins. The future of bitcoin is uncertain, as it works to match the rhetoric around its potential with real-world adoption, but some see opportunities in uses like international payments and micropayments in emerging markets.

Real Estate Third Quarter 2014 Supplement
Welcome to the latest edition of Bloomberg Brief: Real Estate focused on the main trends in the residential and commercial markets. In this issue, former FDIC Chief William M. Isaac explains how the latest recovery differs from prior cycles and why the home price rebound has been muted. Fannie Mae’s Tom Seidenstein and Steve Deggendorf outline their expectations for credit standards in residential housing finance, and Bloomberg economist Josh Wright explains why MBS spreads won’t widen much as the Fed reins in purchases and housing agencies trim portfolios.
Then there are what Michelle Meyer, economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, refers to as the “Boomerang Borrowers.” These former homeowners who lost houses through a foreclosure or short sale and want to return as owners are finding that credit is harder to get. This in turn could have an impact on demand for new and existing homes. As Meyer points out, nearly 17 percent of all homeowners with a mortgage in 2006 fell into either foreclosure or short sale.
On the residential and commercial real estate finance side, the picture continues to improve. Financing costs for office and retail property borrowers have dropped thanks to lower AAA- and BBB-rated CMBS spreads. Some of the narrowing in CMBS spreads is tied to demand from investors looking for extra yield at a time when U.S. Treasury 10-year debt yields 2.36 percent and the 30-year yields just over 3 percent.
The yield hunt may also explain lower CMBS issuance. According to Jefferies’ Lisa Pendergast, a greater number of investors financed commercial property purchases and retained the loans on their own balance sheets rather than sold them. This forced participants to cut expectations for 2014 CMBS issuance. The appetite to put money to work in commercial real estate finance shows up in other ways, notably heightened use of interest-only and partial IO loans. Just over half of the mortgages resold into CMBS so far this year allowed borrowers to pay just interest, or had partial-IO characteristics.

The Muni-Meltdown That Wasn't
An old-media kind of guy, I still keep file folders of stories, blog entries, clippings, messages and reports printed out and more or less sorted. Back in early 2009, I started a file labeled “Hysteria’’to hold the physical evidence of what I thought the most unusual and even outlandish claims being leveled against an asset class I have spent 33 years writing about —municipal bonds. - Joe Mysak, Bloomberg Brief Editor

Bloomberg Brief Q3 Economic Outlook
Growth is expected to modestly accelerate in the US in Q3 2013 following sub-2% growth in the first half of the year. Key factors that will influence growth include the household deleveraging cycle, policy decisions around sequestration, manufacturing trends, expectations of Fed policy, and the impact of rising rates on housing. The unemployment rate is expected to continue moving toward 7% as job growth holds around 175,000 per month. The Fed will likely begin tapering asset purchases in September and maintain low rates until 2015.
Private equity q1_supplement sample
Private equity firms are targeting the $3.6 trillion 401(k) market as a new source of growth amid lackluster fundraising. Firms like Blackstone, KKR, and Carlyle are developing products tailored for individual investors with lower minimums in an effort to gain access to retirement plans. However, adding alternative investments like private equity to 401(k)s faces challenges around fees, liquidity, and fiduciary responsibility for employers.
US Q2 2013 Economic Outlook
Growth in the US economy is expected to slow in Q2 2013 following strong growth in Q1. While consumption and government spending are expected to slow, capital expenditures, manufacturing growth, and trade are expected to continue driving growth. The pace of job creation may slow due to government spending cuts from sequestration. Monetary policy is expected to remain accommodative with no changes to asset purchase programs due to continued high unemployment and output gaps.
Bloomberg Brief Currency Wars
This document summarizes a report on currency valuations according to different metrics. It provides currency exchange rates and estimates of under or overvaluation based on purchasing power parity calculations, a 10-year moving average, and other models. The British pound and Asian currencies like the Singapore dollar appear most undervalued according to these analyses, while the Japanese yen seems overvalued versus other Asian currencies still. The document advocates focusing valuation discussions on exchange rate fundamentals and accumulation of foreign reserves rather than competitive devaluations.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
