ABSTRACT The economic harm being caused by the novel coronavirus may soon result in multiple sovereign debtors moving into default territory, but the existing playbook for dealing with multi-sovereign emerging market debt crises is blank. Currently, the only way to deal with a debt crisis is to carry out protracted country-by-country and contract-by-contract negotiated workouts. Expert groups are attempting to design a mechanism to run multiple sovereign debt workouts simultaneously but any design will take time to configure and get international buy-in. This article sets forth some options to provide temporary legal protection to debtor countries while they are diverting resources to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is the notion of ‘legal air cover’. The options we propose involve ex-post state intervention in debt contracts and come with risks, but we show that in the case of Greece, where such an intervention was necessary in 2012, there were no negative spillovers on periphery eurozone debt markets associated with the Greek ex-post modification of contract terms.
新型冠状病毒造成的经济损害可能很快导致多个主权债务人进入违约区域,但现有的应对新兴市场多主权债务危机的剧本是空白的。目前,应对债务危机的唯一办法是逐个国家、逐个合同地进行旷日持久的谈判。专家小组正试图设计一种机制,让多个主权债务解决方案同时运行,但任何设计都需要时间来配置和获得国际支持。本文阐述了在债务国转移资源以应对Covid-19大流行期间为其提供临时法律保护的一些选择。这就是“合法空中掩护”的概念。我们提出的选项涉及对债务合同的事后国家干预,并且存在风险,但我们表明,在希腊的情况下,2012年这种干预是必要的,希腊事后修改合同条款没有对欧元区外围债务市场产生负面溢出效应。

ABSTRACT
DeFi (‘decentralized finance’) has joined FinTech (‘financial technology’), RegTech (‘regulatory technology’), cryptocurrencies, and digital assets as one of the most discussed emerging technological evolutions in global finance. Yet little is really understood about its meaning, legal implications, and policy consequences. In this article we introduce DeFi, put DeFi in the context of the traditional financial economy, connect DeFi to open banking, and end with some policy considerations. We suggest that decentralization has the potential to undermine traditional forms of accountability and erode the effectiveness of traditional financial regulation and enforcement. At the same time, we find that where parts of the financial services value chain are decentralized, there will be a reconcentration in a different (but possibly less regulated, less visible, and less transparent) part of the value chain. DeFi regulation could, and should, focus on this reconcentrated portion of the value chain to ensure effective oversight and risk control. Rather than eliminating the need for regulation, in fact DeFi requires regulation in order to achieve its core objective of decentralization. Furthermore, DeFi potentially offers an opportunity for the development of an entirely new way to design regulation: the idea of ‘embedded regulation’. Regulatory approaches could be built into the design of DeFi, thus potentially decentralizing both finance and its regulation, in the ultimate expression of RegTech.
defi(“去中心化金融”)与FinTech(“金融技术”)、RegTech(“监管技术”)、加密货币和数字资产一起,成为全球金融领域讨论最多的新兴技术演变之一。然而,人们对它的意义、法律含义和政策后果却知之甚少。在本文中,我们介绍了DeFi,将DeFi放在传统金融经济的背景下,将DeFi与开放银行联系起来,并以一些政策考虑作为结束。我们认为,权力下放有可能破坏传统的问责制形式,削弱传统金融监管和执法的有效性。与此同时,我们发现,在金融服务价值链的某些部分去中心化的地方,价值链的另一部分(但可能监管较少、不太明显、不太透明)将出现重新集中。DeFi监管可以也应该把重点放在价值链的这一重新集中的部分,以确保有效的监督和风险控制。事实上,DeFi并没有消除对监管的需求,而是需要监管来实现其去中心化的核心目标。此外,DeFi可能为开发一种全新的监管设计方式提供了机会:“嵌入式监管”的理念。监管方法可以内置到DeFi的设计中,从而潜在地分散金融及其监管,最终表达RegTech。

The Enduring Legacy of the Dodd-Frank Act’s Derivatives Reforms 多德-弗兰克法案衍生品改革的持久遗产

Despite the shortcomings of the Dodd-Frank Act, this article argues that the two parts most relevant to derivatives—Titles VII and VIII—are likely to endure. Title VII, which covers the trading of derivatives, especially swaps, generally strikes the right balance between preserving the vibrancy of the US derivatives markets and mitigating risk to market participants and the US financial system. While Title VII’s consolidation of much of the credit risk management function in central counterparties (CCPs) itself poses a systemic risk, this article contends nonetheless that Title VII addresses this risk by giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the power to mitigate it through regulations that implement the ‘core principles’ applicable to CCPs. This oversight is complemented by Title VIII, which provides enhanced supervision of systemically important CCPs. The Dodd-Frank Act’s approach to derivatives will endure, it is argued, so long as policymakers understand the interrelationship between Titles VII and VIII. This article focuses on that relationship and closes with a brief discussion of some of the work the CFTC is undertaking to bring finality to the statutory framework created by Titles VII and VIII.
尽管《多德-弗兰克法案》存在缺陷,但本文认为,与衍生品最相关的两个部分——第七章和第八章——可能会持续下去。第七章涵盖了衍生品交易,尤其是掉期交易,通常在保持美国衍生品市场的活力和降低市场参与者和美国金融体系的风险之间取得了正确的平衡。尽管第七章合并了中央对手方(CCP)的大部分信贷风险管理职能本身就构成了系统性风险,但本文认为,第七章通过赋予商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)权力,通过实施适用于CCP的“核心原则”的法规来减轻这种风险,从而解决了这种风险。第八章对这一监督进行了补充,加强了对具有系统重要性的CCP的监督。有人认为,只要政策制定者理解第七章和第八章之间的相互关系,《多德-弗兰克法案》对衍生品的处理方法就会持续下去。本文重点讨论了这种关系,并简要讨论了商品期货交易委员会为最终确定第七和第八编创建的法律框架所做的一些工作。

Hybrid and Cyber Security Threats and the EU’s Financial System 混合和网络安全威胁与欧盟金融体系

Increasing cyber and hybrid risks will test the European Union’s system of fragmentation on issues of security, but centralization on financial and other economic issues. This asymmetry was not an obstacle in a world in which security threats were more contained or of a different nature. But the world is changing. In this article, we document the rise in cyber attacks in the EU. Meanwhile, hybrid threats are real, though difficult to quantify. We then explore preparations to increase the resilience of the financial system in terms of regulation, testing, and governance. We find that at the individual institutional level, significant measures have been taken, even though there are diverging views on whether individual companies are sufficiently prepared. More worryingly, preparations appear less advanced at the system-wide level. We recommend that EU finance ministers increase resilience through regular preparedness exercises and greater consideration of systemwide regulatory issues. A broader political discussion on the integration of the EU security architecture applicable to the financial system should also be advanced. This includes reopening the framework on foreign-investment screening in order to have screening of foreign investment in critical financial infrastructure at the EU level.
不断增加的网络和混合风险将考验欧盟在安全问题上的分散体系,但在金融和其他经济问题上的集中体系。在一个安全威胁受到更多控制或性质不同的世界里,这种不对称性并不是一个障碍。但世界正在改变。在这篇文章中,我们记录了欧盟网络攻击的增加。同时,混合威胁是真实存在的,尽管难以量化。然后,我们探索在监管、测试和治理方面提高金融系统弹性的准备工作。我们发现,在个别机构层面,已经采取了重大措施,尽管在个别公司是否准备充分的问题上存在分歧。更令人担忧的是,全系统层面的准备工作似乎没有那么先进。我们建议欧盟财政部长通过定期的准备工作和更多地考虑全系统的监管问题来提高抵御能力。还应推动就适用于金融体系的欧盟安全架构的一体化进行更广泛的政治讨论。这包括重新开放外国投资筛选框架,以便在欧盟层面对关键金融基础设施的外国投资进行筛选。

Unregulated Algorithmic Trading: Testing the Boundaries of the European Union Algorithmic Trading Regime 无管制的算法贸易:检验欧盟算法贸易制度的边界
IF 2.6 Q2 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2020-09-20 DOI: 10.1093/jfr/fjaa008

Trading in modern equity markets has come to be dominated by machines and algorithms. However, there is significant concern over the impact of algorithmic trading on market quality and a number of jurisdictions have moved to address the risks associated with this new type of trading. The European Union has been no exception to this trend. This article argues that while the European Union algorithmic trading regime is often perceived as a tough response to the challenges inherent in machine trading, it has one crucial shortcoming: it does not regulate the simpler, basic execution algorithms used in automated order routers. Yet the same risk generally associated with algorithmic trading activity also arises, in particular, from the use of these basic execution algorithms—as was made evident by the trading glitch that led to the fall of United States securities trader Knight Capital in 2012. Indeed, such risk could even be amplified by the lack of sophistication of these simpler execution algorithms. It is thus proposed that the European Union should amend the objective scope of its algorithmic trading regime by expanding the definition of algorithmic trading under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) to include all execution algorithms, regardless of their complexity.
现代股票市场的交易已逐渐由机器和算法主导。然而,人们对算法交易对市场质量的影响表示严重担忧,许多司法管辖区已采取行动解决与这种新型交易相关的风险。欧盟也不例外。本文认为,虽然欧盟算法交易制度通常被认为是对机器交易固有挑战的强硬回应,但它有一个关键的缺点:它不规范自动订单路由器中使用的更简单、基本的执行算法。然而,通常与算法交易活动相关的同样风险也会出现,尤其是在使用这些基本执行算法时——2012年导致美国证券交易商奈特资本(Knight Capital)倒闭的交易故障就证明了这一点。事实上,由于这些更简单的执行算法缺乏复杂性,这种风险甚至可能被放大。因此,建议欧盟通过扩大金融工具市场指令(MiFID II)下算法交易的定义来修改其算法交易制度的客观范围,以包括所有执行算法,无论其复杂性如何。

The Quest for a European Safe Asset—A Comparative Legal Analysis of Sovereign Bond-Backed Securities, E-Bonds, Purple Bonds, and Coronabonds 对欧洲安全资产的追求——主权债券支持证券、E-Bonds、紫色债券和冠状债券的比较法律分析

Abstract The European sovereign debt crisis and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed the European Economic and Monetary Union’s fragility, which essentially emanates from the inherent tension between a single monetary policy and decentralized fiscal policies. To cushion economic and financial shocks and sever the sovereign-bank doom loop, different proposals to create a common public debt security have been put forward, although none of them has so far seen the light of day. Building on pertinent economic and finance scholarship, this article reviews four promising safe asset proposals from a legal perspective: Sovereign bond-backed securities (SBBS), E-bonds, Purple bonds, and Coronabonds. Rather than focusing on their feasibility under EU law or national constitutional law, this article compares the proposals from an investor perspective against the backdrop of the following formal and functional legal characteristics that render assets ‘safe’: governing law, dispute settlement forum, investor protection, and investor representation in sovereign debt restructurings. Against this backdrop, targeted recommendations on critical design elements of safe assets, with the aim of reconciling the economic policy objectives with the pertinent legal constraints, are advanced.
欧洲主权债务危机以及最近的新冠肺炎疫情暴露了欧洲经济和货币联盟的脆弱性,其本质上源于单一货币政策与分散财政政策之间的内在紧张关系。为了缓冲经济和金融冲击,切断主权银行的恶性循环,人们提出了不同的建议,以创建一个共同的公共债务安全,尽管到目前为止,这些建议都没有被采纳。本文以相关的经济和金融学术为基础,从法律角度回顾了四种有前途的安全资产建议:主权债券支持证券(SBBS)、E-bonds、紫色债券和冠状债券。本文并不关注它们在欧盟法律或国家宪法下的可行性,而是从投资者的角度,在以下使资产“安全”的正式和功能性法律特征的背景下,对这些建议进行比较:管治法、争端解决论坛、投资者保护和主权债务重组中的投资者代表。在此背景下,提出了关于安全资产的关键设计要素的有针对性的建议,目的是使经济政策目标与有关的法律限制相协调。

The Role of Bank Management in the EU Resolution Regime for NPLs 银行管理层在欧盟不良贷款处置机制中的作用

During the global financial crisis, the growth of non-performing loans (NPLs) was partly a consequence of lack of regulatory oversight and poor bank internal processes. NPLs require intrusive monitoring tools and effective corporate governance is crucial in dealing with the deterioration of loans; however, perverse incentives to delay their recognition leave the process at risk. The EU legislation has adopted a set of regulatory measures to resolve and restructure non-performing exposures. While existing literature approaches NPLs from a regulatory and accounting perspective, this article takes a distinctive corporate governance view in order to conceptualize the NPL problem. The strategies through which senior management and shareholder incentives may undermine regulatory objectives on NPL disclosure are identified and an evidence-based approach to reconsidering and settling these problems is advanced.
在全球金融危机期间,不良贷款的增长在一定程度上是缺乏监管和银行内部流程不佳的结果。不良贷款需要侵入性的监控工具,有效的公司治理对应对贷款恶化至关重要;然而,推迟承认它们的不当动机使这一进程面临风险。欧盟立法通过了一系列监管措施来解决和重组不良风险敞口。虽然现有文献从监管和会计的角度来处理不良贷款,但本文采用了独特的公司治理观来概念化不良贷款问题。确定了高级管理层和股东激励可能破坏不良贷款披露监管目标的策略,并提出了重新考虑和解决这些问题的循证方法。

Restructuring Euro Area Sovereign Debt: Have the Options Narrowed? 重组欧元区主权债务:选择余地缩小了吗?
IF 2.6 Q2 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2020-06-25 DOI: 10.1093/jfr/fjaa003
W. M. C. Weidemaier
This Essay examines the intersection between two key attributes of sovereign debt governance in the Euro Area. First, sovereigns mostly issue bonds governed by their own law. This “local law advantage” should make debt restructuring comparatively easy, for the sovereign can change the law to reduce its debt. The second attribute is the so-called Euro CAC, a contractbased restructuring mechanism mandated by the Treaty Establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). Euro CACs let a bondholder supermajority approve a restructuring and bind dissenters. Since 2013, nearly all Euro Area sovereign debt has included the clause. Many believe the ESM Treaty requires governments to use the Euro CAC to restructure. But if so, the Treaty is a suicide pact, for the design of the Euro CAC is flawed. In a meaningful subset of cases, the clause will not provide adequate debt relief. This Essay makes two primary contributions. First, using an Italian restructuring as an example, it explains why the ESM Treaty does not, in fact, require the use of the Euro CAC. Second, it examines the legal constraints—the most pertinent of which derive from the European Convention on Human Rights—that do restrict the use of local law advantage.
本文考察了欧元区主权债务治理的两个关键特征之间的交叉点。首先,主权国家大多发行受本国法律管辖的债券。这种“地方法律优势”应该会使债务重组相对容易,因为主权国家可以修改法律来减少债务。第二个属性是所谓的欧洲CAC,这是一个由《建立欧洲稳定机制条约》(ESM)授权的基于合同的重组机制。欧元CAC允许债券持有人以绝对多数批准重组,并约束持不同意见者。自2013年以来,几乎所有欧元区主权债务都包含了该条款。许多人认为,ESM条约要求各国政府利用欧洲CAC进行重组。但如果是这样的话,该条约就是一个自杀式的协议,因为欧洲CAC的设计是有缺陷的。在一部分有意义的情况下,该条款不会提供足够的债务减免。这篇文章有两个主要贡献。首先,以意大利的重组为例,它解释了为什么《ESM条约》实际上不要求使用欧洲CAC。其次,它审查了法律约束——其中最相关的来自《欧洲人权公约》——这些约束确实限制了当地法律优势的使用。

First, sovereigns mostly issue bonds governed by their own law. This “local law advantage” should make debt restructuring comparatively easy, for the sovereign can change the law to reduce its debt. The second attribute is the so-called Euro CAC, a contractbased restructuring mechanism mandated by the Treaty Establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). Euro CACs let a bondholder supermajority approve a restructuring and bind dissenters. Since 2013, nearly all Euro Area sovereign debt has included the clause. Many believe the ESM Treaty requires governments to use the Euro CAC to restructure. But if so, the Treaty is a suicide pact, for the design of the Euro CAC is flawed. In a meaningful subset of cases, the clause will not provide adequate debt relief. This Essay makes two primary contributions. First, using an Italian restructuring as an example, it explains why the ESM Treaty does not, in fact, require the use of the Euro CAC.

The Role of Deposit Insurance in Bank Resolution 存款保险在银行清算中的作用

Deposit Insurance Schemes (DIS) are mechanisms that reimburse depositors when banks default; however, they also serve important functions in bank resolution proceedings. Whereas it is evident that DIS should contribute to the rescue of banks’ critical financial functions in such resolution scenarios, the resulting questions of who should benefit from their payments and whether these payments result in any repayment obligations have so far remained unaddressed. In response to these questions, the article suggests distinguishing between scenarios in which banks’ critical financial functions are transferred to other institutions and scenarios in which the critical financial functions remain with recapitalized banks. The latter is the more complex situation because it leads to the survival of the bank in resolution and raises the question of hierarchies among several groups of contributors to recapitalizations. The article argues for a subordinate role for DIS in these hierarchies and suggests that DIS payments should lead to holdings of Tier 2 regulatory capital in recapitalized banks.
存款保险计划(DIS)是在银行违约时补偿存款人的机制;然而,它们在银行清算程序中也起着重要的作用。虽然在这种解决方案中,DIS显然应该有助于拯救银行的关键财务职能,但由此产生的问题是,谁应该从这些付款中受益,以及这些付款是否导致任何偿还义务,迄今仍未得到解决。为了回答这些问题,本文建议区分银行的关键金融功能转移到其他机构的情况和关键金融功能保留在资本重组银行的情况。后者的情况更为复杂,因为它会导致银行在解决方案中生存下来,并引发几个资本重组贡献者群体之间的等级问题。本文主张DIS在这些层级中扮演从属角色,并建议DIS支付应导致在资本重组银行中持有二级监管资本。
