Bundesbank Executive Board member Andreas Dombret has called for European banking supervisors to be given strong rights to information and powers of intervention after Brexit. Only then could the clearing of euro securities still be based in London, he said in an interview with Der Spiegel.

The German economy continued to expand at a rapid pace in the second quarter. In the Bundesbank’s assessment, the strong economic growth is likely to continue in the current quarter. The Monthly Report also notes that economic output for the year as a whole could rise even somewhat more strongly than was forecast in June.
