European vote on money market funds postponed
Should constant net asset value funds be banned? At what pace? And what capital requirements are to be placed on them in the meantime? In the absence of an agreement over a debate in the European Parliament scheduled for 17 February, a majority of members of the Econ commission have finally decided to delay it until later, Agefi reports. In reality, some EMPs would not be upset to see the bill be binned after the term, in the absence of a vote in Parliament. The most likely outcome remains, however, that members of Parliament will announce a verdict on 3 March, but the likelihood that talks with finance ministers will succeed before the end of the term are very poor, the newspaper notes.
