Lack of vision in the EU’s financial reforms

New SOMO-report reveals how the EU ignores its impact on developing countries and food derivative markets...SOMO concludes that the EU’s financial reforms have been not only much too slow and too weak – aggravating the debt and bank problems in the Eurozone. What’s more, the EU’s reforms are lacking in vision with respect to what the function of the financial sector should be, and for whom. This report highlights the fact that the various financial reforms of the European Union (EU) have ignored the impact on developing countries as well as the participation by developing country supervisors, although European banks operate in these countries. Additionally, the current lack of reform of food derivative markets continues to influence food prices for the poor. [refers to Deutsche Bank]
