" Jednak przeszkody te trzeba pokonać, aby móc zbudować spójny
globalny system finansowy.” Brrrr, ciarki przechodzą po plecach, jak
ktoś chce ład swiatowy budować...

Politycy mają skłonność do podejmowania decyzji na końcu trendu.
Jeśli system finansowy się zawali (a zawali się na pewno) to obroty na rynkach wrócą do poziomów wielokrotnie niższych.


W ostatnim roku obroty przekroczyły 400%.

EU presses IMF over financial transaction tax

EU presses IMF over financial transaction tax

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union increased pressure on the International
Monetary Fund on Friday to consider a global tax on financial transactions to
limit the risk of another economic crisis.

In a draft statement expected to be approved on the second day of an EU summit,
the bloc's leaders also underlined the need for "sound and effective" financial
sector pay but did not specifically back British calls to tax bankers' bonuses
heavily.

The leaders were also discussing on the final day of the summit how much money
to give developing countries in the next three years to help them fight the
effects of global warming.

"The European Council (of EU leaders) emphasises the importance of renewing the
economic and social contract between financial institutions and the society they
serve and of ensuring that the public benefits in good times and is protected
from risk," they said in a draft statement obtained by Reuters.

"The European Council encourages the IMF to consider the full range of options
including insurance fees, resolution funds, contingent capital arrangements and
a global financial transaction levy in its review."

The IMF is considering how to limit risk in the financial system following the
economic crisis.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for consideration of a tax on financial
transactions at a summit of the Group of 20 developed and emerging nations last
month but faced opposition from U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

Then, Brown said the proceeds could be used to fund future financial bailouts
but Geithner said Washington opposed such a tax as a way to dampen risky bank
behaviour. 

A so-called Tobin tax would discourage short-term speculation with the aim of
limiting the risk of instability on financial markets.

Without worldwide support, experts say it would surely be doomed to failure.

French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde said the need for close cooperation
was highlighted by difficulties in the group of 16 countries that use the euro.

"We're at a decisive turning point for Europe and the euro zone," Lagarde told
reporters in Paris, responding to a question about debt problems in Greece.

"That is the point of the discussions we are having today on the necessity or
otherwise, the depth or otherwise, of even better coordinated economic
policies," she said.

NO SIGN OF BACKING ON BONUSES

The draft statement did not refer to calls by Britain and France to tax banker's
bonuses heavily after public anger that bankers are again making large sums even
though some of their banks have recently been bailed out with tax payers money.

But it said: "Remuneration policies within the financial sector must promote
sound and effective risk management and should contribute to preventing future
crises in the economy."

The British government said on Wednesday banks operating in Britain would be
charged a 50 percent tax rate on employees' bonuses of above 25,000 pounds.


Lagarde said French President Nicolas Sarkozy plans to announce a windfall tax
on banking bonuses on Friday "equivalent" to the 50 percent levy proposed by
Britain.

Brown and Sarkozy called in a newspaper article on Thursday for an exceptional
tax on global bank bonuses, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel described a
one-off tax on such bonuses as an attractive idea.

There was no indication from other EU governments would that they would rush to
back such moves.

The leaders were hoping, however, to agree on financing for developing countries
to tackle global warming in the three years before any deal agreed at
international talks in Copenhagen takes effect.

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said late on Thursday that the leaders
would return to the climate change discussions on Friday. "We think we'll have a
better figure tomorrow than we have tonight," he told a news conference.

One EU source said member states had pledged a total of 1.8 billion euros (1.6
billion pounds) annually to help the developing countries during the three-year
period, and another said that total was likely to reach up to 2.1 billion annually.

For Global Finance, Global Regulation

[stoje_i_patrze]

For Global Finance, Global Regulation
Proposals that deserve consideration include taxes on financial transactions and
2009 bank bonuses.
Europe led the way last year in facing down the global financial crisis,
restructuring our banking system and strengthening the global financial system.
The European Union was also at the forefront in calling for a new forum for
economic cooperation of G-20 leaders. And from the outset of the crisis, it was
Europe that promoted the fiscal stimulus—and sought to coordinate it
globally—that has been a major factor in preventing recession becoming a
world-wide depression.

Now we need to once again lead the way in forging a new global consensus.

Stable, open and competitive European financial markets are essential to global
growth. We recognize the importance to Europe of ensuring that we have globally
competitive financial services, and the importance of developing world-class
financial centers such as London and Paris.

But the way global financial institutions have operated raises fundamental
questions that we must—and can only—address globally.

We have found that a huge and opaque global trading network involving complex
products, short-termism and too-often excessive rewards created risks that few
people understood. We have also learned that when crises happen, taxpayers have
to cover the costs. It is simply not acceptable for them to foot the bill for
losses in a deep downturn, while institutions' shareholders and employees enjoy
all the gains as the economy recovers.

Better regulation and supervision are the means by which the risk to the
taxpayer can be reduced for the longer term.

In regard to regulation, the EU has adopted a comprehensive set of new rules for
the financial sector to avoid the repetition of the crisis: control over credit
rating agencies, stronger capital requirements on complex products such as
securitization, and strengthened deposit guarantee schemes. We have set up
strict rules to make sure that compensation systems avoid excessive risk taking.
We will also implement stricter capital rules for banks.
We also have agreed on a more efficient system for supervision of the financial
sector within Europe to better monitor systemic risks, to ensure that EU
regulation is applied consistently, to settle disagreement between national
supervisors, and to deal with crisis situations. Banks must now hold sufficient
capital, ensure liquidity, and reward only genuine value creation and not
short-term risk-taking.

This crisis has made us recognize that we are now in an economy which is no
longer national but global, so financial standards must also be global. We must
ensure that through proper regulation, the financial sector operates on a level
playing field globally.

There is an urgent need for a new compact between global banks and the society
they serve:

A compact that recognizes the risks to the taxpayer if banks fail and recognizes
the imbalance between risks and rewards in the banking system.

A compact that ensures the benefits of good economic times flow not just to
bankers but to the people they serve; that makes sure that the financial sector
fosters economic growth.

A compact that ensures financial institutions cannot use offshore tax havens to
negate the contribution they justly owe to the citizens of the country in which
they operate—and so builds on the progress already made in ending tax and
regulatory havens.

Therefore, we propose a long-term global compact that will encapsulate both the
responsibilities of the banking system and the risk they pose to the economy as
a whole. Various proposals have been put forward and deserve examination. They
include resolution funds, insurance premiums, financial transaction levies and a
tax on bonuses.
Among these proposals, we agree that a one-off tax in relation to bonuses should
be considered a priority, due to the fact that bonuses for 2009 have arisen
partly because of government support for the banking system.

However, it is clear the action that must be taken must be at a global level. No
one territory can be expected to or be able to act on its own. And if we can
find a solution, implemented consistently across the major economies, then we
may find a way to ensure that taxpayers do not pay in a systemic crisis for the
risks taken on by the banking sector. We might also be able to help the funding
of our Millennium Development Goals and address climate change.

To achieve global coordination, we now propose a new process of deliberating and
setting macroeconomic strategy, starting with the IMF report on global
contributions and leading to a major discussion at the G-20 meetings chaired by
South Korea next year. Through this process, we need to correct and prevent the
build up of global imbalances. We need to enhance coordination at the global
level so that foreign exchange volatility does not create a risk to the
recovery. Each country should take its fair share of reducing global imbalances.

Stability and confidence requires us to bring financial markets into closer
alignment with the values held by families and business owners: Rewarding hard
work, responsibility, integrity and fairness.

People rightly want a post-crisis banking system which puts their needs first.
To achieve that, nothing less than a global change is required.

Mr. Brown is prime minister of Great Britain. Mr. Sarkozy is the president of
France.

Parlament glosuje za podatkiem Tobina

[bieda_inwestor]

"Parlament uważa, że należy rozważyć pomysł globalnego podatku od transakcji
finansowych, aby zapobiegać podejmowaniu nadmiernego ryzyka przez sektor
bankowy. Posłowie przyjęli uchwałę, w której przekonują, że jeśli pomysł
globalnego podatku okaże się niewykonalny, UE powinna rozważyć wprowadzenie
takiego podatku u siebie."

To tylko parlament europejski, ktorym tak do konca sie nikt chyba nie przejmuje
(komisje nadal sa wazniejsze), ale wiadomosc ciekawa. Ciekawe czy Europa
zdecyduje sie na jednostronne wprowadzenie podatku Tobina.
