• Resumen

  • The article discusses how the European Union's (EU) proposed sovereign debt regulations may negatively affect yields according to a June 2016 report from credit rating agency Fitch Ratings. Topics covered include extra regulatory capital that eurozone banks may have to spend, the possibility of the banks disposing of high levels of government assets, and banks' ability to rate all sovereign debt issued in their own currency as risk-free under the framework for risk weighting.
