The group usually has one active case against financial regulators, but currently has two against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and one against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), he said. To be sure, the financial regulators have been sued many times during previous administrations, including by pro-reform advocacy groups. "There are some financial regulators that are walking right into it," he added. In September, for example, bank groups accused regulators including the Federal Reserve of violating the APA with a new capital rule. According to research by Wharton School professor David Zaring, neither industry groups nor individual lenders have filed more than one suit over the past decade challenging Fed policymaking.

☆ European Union agrees post-Brexit rules for hedge funds

LONDON, July 20 (Reuters) - The European Union said on Thursday it has reached a deal on revising its rules for managers of hedge funds and other alternative investments, easing industry fears of a post-Brexit crackdown on managers in London. Representatives of EU states and the European Parliament reached the deal overnight to update the bloc's Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) rules that cover investments in hedge funds, private equity, private debt funds and real estate funds. Under the agreement, European asset managers will have to disclose more details to regulators about their investments with private funds in the United States, Britain and other non-EU countries. But it stops short of toughening up "delegation" rules for managers outside the EU that pick assets for funds listed in the bloc. The agreement includes new rules on funds that issue new loans, including higher requirements to keep money aside to cope with liquidity demands in stressed markets.

LONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - Global hedge funds not specialising in crypto assets have grown skittish from recent industry turmoil and this has lead to an exit from the sector, a survey showed on Tuesday. The proportion of traditional hedge funds investing in crypto-assets has dropped to 29% this year from 37% in 2022, the report by PWC and the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) said. Traditional hedge funds that avoided trading in crypto said deterrents included reputational risk, a lack of clear guidance from regulators and tax authorities and unreliable data. Hedge funds that are invested in crypto mostly use bitcoin or Ethereum. Almost half of hedge funds that were already trading crypto said they would put more money in, but that crypto only accounted for 2% of assets under management.

☆ Asset managers, banks call on EU to cost plans to grab euro clearing from London
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Huw Jones | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Asset managers, hedge funds and banks on Thursday called on the European Union to properly cost its plans to force market participants to shift derivatives clearing business from London to mandatory accounts in the bloc. London Stock Exchange Group's LCH and ICE in London have long dominated parts of the euro derivatives market, but the EU wants direct say over this activity measured in trillions of euros to ensure financial stability after Britain's departure from the EU. The cross-industry call in a joint statement said the proposals to bolster euro denominated derivatives clearing in the EU would damage the bloc's capital market. Derivatives industry bodies ISDA and FIA, hedge fund and alternative investments association AIMA, and EFAMA, which represents the EU's asset management industry, said the plans would be costly to implement. A strategy based on organic growth and market-driven solutions would best support the competitiveness of EU clearing houses in a global clearing marketplace, they added.

It shone a light on the less regulated global $200 trillion 'non-bank' sector which is made up of pension funds, insurers and different types of investment funds, and spans borders. The onus for building resilience in the non-bank system sits first and foremost with the firms themselves," Breeden added. Banks and non-banks also need to improve stress-testing for risks, she added. Toks Oyebode, executive director for regulatory affairs at JPMorgan bank, said steps outlined by Breeden and other regulators, such as regarding margining, were timely.

LONDON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Improving transparency of 'non-banks' such as pension funds is a first step in applying lessons from recent turmoil in Britain's government bond market, Bank of England executive director Sarah Breeden said on Monday. It shone a light on the sprawling and less regulated 'non-bank' financial sector made up of pension funds, insurers and different types of investment funds. Breeden said the LDI issues were a reminder of the "systemic risks" posed by poorly-managed leverage in the non-bank financial system where there is "all too often" excessive risk taking alongside improper liquidity risk management.

The pivot to digital assetsSkyBridge has pivoted heavily into crypto and blockchain technology from its traditional hedge fund of funds business.

Самыми популярными импортными электромобилями являются Nissan Leaf, за ними следуют Renault Zoe и Tesla Model 5 S. Также импортируются электромобили Volkswagen E-Golf и мотоциклы AIMA. Эколог Владимир Гараба говорит, что из-за большого количества автомобилей с двигателем внутреннего сгорания столица не дышит, а концентрации газов часто превышают допустимую норму. В настоящее время в Молдове действует более 20 точек зарядки электромобилей.

☆ В Молдове электромобилей в 2020 году стало больше – LikTV

За последние два года количество электромобилей, зарегистрированных в Республике Молдова, увеличилось примерно в четыре раза. В ответе для IPN Агентство публичных услуг отмечает, что первые электрические грузовики и тракторы появились в Молдове в 2018 году. В случае электромобилей техосмотры сводятся к кратким проверкам, потому что, не имея двигателя внутреннего сгорания или коробки передач, они не нуждаются в замене масла и других специфических расходных материалов. Автоэксперт отметил, что популяризация электромобилей продиктована распространением публичных зарядных станций. В настоящее время в Республике Молдова насчитывается более 20 зарядных розеток для электромобилей, они расположены в Кишинёве, Криулень, Орхее, Бэлць, Сороке и других населённых пунктах страны.
