Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) is complemented by Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR), which builds out transaction reporting requirements with a number of new reporting obligations. The data and data management challenges of reporting include an increase in instruments that must be reported and the addition of several new fields to transaction reports. The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is also mandated for use in reporting.

High frequency trading involves firms using high-speed technology and algorithms to execute trades within very short time periods, typically less than minutes. It accounts for over 60% of US equity trading volume and is primarily done by proprietary trading firms and a few hedge funds located in Chicago. While it provides benefits like lower fees and tighter spreads, it has also reduced average trade sizes and led to a decline in exchanges' market share as trading has migrated to dark pools and internalization. There is an ongoing debate about its impacts on the market.
This document summarizes the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). It begins by outlining the logic and key assumptions of the CAPM, including that all investors hold the same market portfolio which must lie on the efficient frontier. It then states that the CAPM predicts the expected return of an asset is determined by its beta, or non-diversifiable risk relative to the market. However, the document notes that empirical tests have found the CAPM performs poorly in applications. It concludes the CAPM's failings indicate applications based on the model are invalid, challenging researchers to develop alternative models.

Offshore banking allows individuals and businesses to hold accounts in foreign jurisdictions, offering benefits like privacy, asset protection, and potential tax advantages. However, strict compliance regulations govern these banks to prevent financial crimes. Key requirements include Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, along with international regulations like FATCA (for U.S. taxpayers) and CRS (for global tax transparency).
We study the effects of gender board diversity on firm performance. We use novel and rich firm-level data covering over seven million private and public firms spanning the years 1995-2020 in Europe. We augment a standard TFP estimation with a shift-share instrument for gender board diversity. We find that increasing the share of women in the boardroom is conducive to better economic performance. The results prove robust in a variety of subsamples, and to a variety of sensitivity analyses. This outcome is driven primarily by firms from the service sector. The positive impact was stronger during the more recent years of our sample that is a period with relatively more board diversity.
Women Economy The presentation, Breaking the Silence: The Untapped Potential ...snehadeeproy085
油
The presentation, *Breaking the Silence: The Untapped Potential of Educated Women in the Economy*, explores the disparity between women's education and workforce participation. Despite significant progress in women's education, many educated women remain outside the workforce, which not only impacts their personal growth but also limits economic productivity. The introduction highlights how this gap affects national economies, emphasizing the need for urgent intervention. The presentation then examines the current scenario with global and national statistics, using visual aids such as bar charts to illustrate the stark differences in workforce participation between men and women.
A major section of the presentation is dedicated to understanding why educated women are not actively participating in the workforce. Social and cultural barriers, such as traditional gender roles, societal expectations, and family pressures, often discourage women from pursuing careers. Workplace challenges, including gender discrimination, wage gaps, and the lack of flexible work arrangements, further hinder their participation. Economic and policy-related factors, such as insufficient maternity leave policies, lack of childcare support, and the undervaluation of unpaid labor, also contribute to this issue. A pie chart highlights the most common barriers, with family responsibilities emerging as the biggest obstacle, followed by workplace discrimination and the wage gap.
The economic cost of women's exclusion from the workforce is another key focus. The presentation discusses how lower female workforce participation results in reduced productivity and slower economic growth. According to a report by McKinsey Global Institute, closing the gender gap in the workforce could add $28 trillion to global GDP by 2025. Additionally, industries suffering from a shortage of skilled workers continue to overlook a large pool of educated women, leading to talent waste. The social impact of economic exclusion is also significant, as financial dependency increases gender inequality and contributes to higher poverty rates in societies with lower female workforce participation. A graph comparing female workforce participation and GDP growth across different countries demonstrates that nations with higher female employment tend to have stronger economic stability.
To address these issues, the presentation proposes several solutions. Government policies such as stronger maternity and childcare support, enforcement of equal pay laws, and skill development programs can help bridge the gap. Corporate initiatives, including flexible work policies, diversity programs, and mentorship opportunities, can create a more inclusive work environment. Societal changes, such as redefining gender roles, encouraging women entrepreneurs, and raising awareness through education and media, are also essential to breaking long-standing barriers. Another bar graph illustrates how increased female work
