Financial Supervisory Overhaul From EC
The European Commission is to create a new European Systemic Risk board to forewarn of future threats to financial stability.
Following the report of Jacques de Larosiere in February, the new board will comprise central bank governors for the 27 member states and be led by the European Central Bank president.
Separately, the planned legislation will create a European System of Financial Supervisors to revise the current disparate system of financial supervision. This will consist of three authorities, covering banking, insurance and securities, empowered to intervene in decisions taken by national regulators.
Mats Odell, financial markets minister of current EU presidency-holder Sweden, said the aim was to have the new institutions running by next year. This will not be easy. Critics have noted that the risk board will have no formal enforcement powers, while the UK Government has so far resisted proposals for the EU to increase its power over national supervisors.
Customer Loyalty Management via Sending Holiday Cards
Customer loyalty matters as selling more to existing customers is much easier, and cheaper, than finding and selling to the new ones. And the loyal customers will even frequently recommend a business to others.
Effective customer relationship management means organizing the entire business to focus on the needs of customers. First of all, the top key accounts should be listed out. Then, people should learn as much about the different customer segments as they can. There are different kinds of approaches of customer relationship management.
Sending holiday cards such as Christmas cards to the clients is one of the most effective way to build up strong customer relationship and maintain loyalty of the most valuable customers.
OTCs See Increase in Independent Pricing
According to new research, it is indicated that independent valuation for over-the-counter derivatives is becoming more important for UK and US asset managers.
A study by Navigant Consulting said that 74% of respondents reported using more than one external vendor to providing pricing for OTC derivatives, up from 52% last year. Nearly a third of respondents were using four or more sources, a rise from 10% in 2008.
These results demonstrate a wider trend of reduced reliance on counter-party, manager or spreadsheet pricing as a source for valuing OTC derivatives, along with the increased incidence of outsourcing this function. The survey also noted an increased appetite for outsourcing fund accounting, reconciliations and performance measurement, and a decreased appetite for outsourcing.

Something to Yell About
Directories group Yell aims to raise at least £500 million from shareholders after gaining sufficient support from lenders to go ahead with plans to refinance its £3.8 billion debt.
The Yellow Pages owner needed 95% of its 300 creditors by value to back the move and had delayed the deadline for acceptances three times in its efforts to cross the threshold.
King Alert as UK Debt Hits £825bn
Bank of England governor warned last night that, Brits will be payong for the credit crisis ‘for a generation’ as Government debt soared to nearly £825 billion.
Figures indicate that the Treasury borrowed a record £77.3 billion between April and September, which was more than double last year’s loans and incredible £425 million each day.
And in a dig at greedy bankers, Mr King said that to paraphrase a great wartime leader, never in the field of financial endeavour has so much money been owed by so few to so many. And so far with little reform. Plunging tax income and rising benefit costs have hit the Government coffers, with the total debt at 59% of the UK’s overall economic output. About £142 billion of debt stems from bailing out banks.
Mr King said recent months had brought ‘better news’, and he reiterated the recession would end later this year. But he added that the national debt is rising rapidly, not least as the consequence of support to the banking system.
