LONDON (Reuters) - A landmark deal to reform corporate tax payments proposed by the Group of Seven on Saturday will not unfairly benefit the United States, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said on Monday.

Posted by admin

in News

By Huw Jones LONDON (Reuters) - Forcing euro derivatives clearing to move from London to the European Union would bump up costs for customers and put EU firms at a competitive disadvantage to international peers, the London Stock Exchange Group (LON:LSEG) argued in a note to clients. The EU is studying how trillions of euros in interest rate swaps positions could be shifted from LSEG's LCH clearing arm in London, where the bulk of the global market is cleared, to rival Deutsche Boerse (DE:DB1Gn)'s Eurex in Frankfurt. Britain's access to the EU financial market...

Dovish rhetoric from policymakers suggests no hurry to slow the pace of buying under the 1.85 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion) Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP). Yet, with the economy on a sounder footing, inflation picking up and other central banks taking tentative steps to slow stimulus, pressure to taper is building. Here...
