☆ UK launches £1 billion fintech fund to compete with Silicon Valley

The U.K. has faced criticisms from some in the industry that it is posing barriers to its fintech entrepreneurs and forcing them to consider listings overseas. The U.K. has created an investment vehicle to back growth-stage financial technology companies until they can go public, in a bid to bolster Britain's global image as a fintech investment hub. It marks a rare commitment to a specialized fund focused on fintech backed by mega-industry players. While fintech-focused funds like Augmentum Fintech and Anthemis Group exist, the U.K. has yet to see a fintech-oriented fund that came about from a government-led strategy. The fund also counts Philip Hammond, the former U.K. finance minister, as an advisor.

☆ Uneasy calm descends after SVB-triggered turmoil

The European Central Bank is still leaning towards a half-percentage-point rate hike on Thursday, despite turmoil in the banking sector, given high inflation, a source close to its Governing Council told Reuters. European stocks slipped 0.9% (.STOXX) in early trade but held above three-month lows reached on Monday as panic gripped world markets following SVB's collapse last week. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) rose 0.9%, having slid 1.7% on Tuesday. Japan's Nikkei index was flat (.N225) while an index of Japanese banks, which has slid 8% this week, jumped over 3% (.IBNKS.T). There had been worries that stronger-than-expected data might lead the Fed to go for jumbo-sized hikes to battle inflation.
☆ Reactions: UK's Truss fires Kwarteng, set to U-turn on tax cuts

LONDON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Liz Truss fired her finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng and news reports said she will scrap later on Friday parts of the economic programme of big, unfunded tax cuts that they delivered last month. Consequently, the scope for a rally in gilts (move lower in yields) and sterling would seem to be limited." BENJAMIN NABARRO, ECONOMIST, CITI"The key issue in the near term is the contradiction between monetary and fiscal policy. RACHEL REEVES, OPPOSITION LABOUR PARTY'S FINANCE CHIEF"This humiliating u-turn is necessary - but the real damage has already been done. We may well be through the worst of the volatility but I fear that the UK is nowhere near out of the woods."
☆ Liz Truss was defeated by the bond market. Investors aren’t satisfied yet
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Julia Horowitz | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
London CNN Business —After a bruising three-week battle with bond markets, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss admitted defeat on Friday. The price of 30-year UK government debt, which has been whipsawed in recent weeks, fell after the press conference. The Bank of England was forced to announce three separate interventions to avoid a full-scale meltdown in the UK government bond market. That’s putting investors on edge, especially since more details on the revised Truss plan aren’t formally expected until Oct. 31. Global dynamics could also make it more difficult for UK markets to find their footing even as the government backtracks.
