Commission’s roadmap for tackling the risks inherent in shadow banking

The European Commission has adopted a communication on shadow banking and proposed new rules for money market funds (MMFs). It summarises the work undertaken so far and sets out possible further actions, including proposed new rules for money market funds. Priorities for MMFs include the provision of a framework, liquidity management and stability.  In shadow banking, transparency, risks associated with securities financing transactions and the provision of a framework for interactions with banks are priorities.
