IMF Staff Country Reports-France: Selected Issues
September 21, 2017--The government's planned tax reforms are an important opportunity to make capital taxation in France more efficient and growth friendly. The current system is characterized by a range of distortions and inefficiencies.
The corporate income tax (CIT) regime features a high statutory rate but low revenue productivity, as well as a bias toward debt financing, ineffective size-dependent regimes, and inefficient tax incentives. Profit-insensitive taxes are comparatively high. Anti-tax-avoidance rules are strong, but risks to outbound profit shifting remain. Tax uncertainty is another concern.

September 21, 2017--The Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA-ESAs) published today its Autumn 2017 Report on risks and vulnerabilities in the European Union's financial system.
The Report highlights the risks to the stability of the European financial sector in an uncertain political and economic environment, not least in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. It also highlights persistent valuation risk with an uncertain outlook for yields and argues that financial institutions continue to face profitability challenges in spite of recent improvements. Rapid developments in the area of FinTech are raising new opportunities, but also challenges for financial institutions and final users.

State of the Union 2017-Cybersecurity: Commission scales up EU's response to cyber-attacks
September 19, 2017--On 13 September, in his annual State of the Union Address, President Jean-Claude Juncker stated: "In the past three years, we have made progress in keeping Europeans safe online. But Europe is still not well equipped when it comes to cyber-attacks. This is why, today, the Commission is proposing new tools, including a European Cybersecurity Agency, to help defend us against such attacks."
Europeans place great trust in digital technologies. They open up new opportunities for citizens to connect, facilitate the dissemination of information and form the backbone of Europe's economy. However, they have also brought about new risks as non-state and state actors increasingly try to steal data, commit fraud or even destabilise governments.
