AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoGerman Economy Watch: Germany’s Q2 GDP was revised up to +0.3% (from +0.2%), with exports still the main driver, while the Ifo business climate index climbed to 88.8 in August for a fourth straight month—another sign the economy is holding up despite Iran-related turmoil. Sovereign Debt & Rates: A bond-market selloff is pushing long-term borrowing costs higher across developed countries, with the US debt pile above $40tn adding uncertainty for Germany’s and Europe’s financing conditions. Bad-Loan Market (Cross-border): Morocco’s €11.3bn NPL market is set to draw its first international investors as the IFC and German debt specialist EOS prepare a €60m facility to buy troubled loans—an example of how distressed-debt secondary markets are spreading. Open Banking / Data Sharing: A US push for consumer financial data rights is moving toward open-banking-style access for third parties, with security and privacy obligations—relevant for German banks watching global regulation trends. Cyber & Compliance: EU e-Evidence rules are landing for covered US providers, with enforcement and penalties now in play, raising the stakes for cross-border data handling. Security & Fraud: INTERPOL’s “Operation Jackal IV” netted 58 arrests across 22 countries, targeting West African cyber-enabled fraud and money laundering.
