Which semi-annual ESMA report provides risk analysis at the European level?
'Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities' (TRV) is a semi-annual ESMA report that extends risk analysis to the European level. This report is essential for understanding systemic risks that could affect national markets, such as those monitored by the AMF.

The V2X index is specifically mentioned as measuring implied volatility, which is a key indicator for assessing the anticipated stability or instability of the market. Implied volatility is crucial for investors as it reflects market expectations regarding risk.
Which database provides economic and financial ratios by sector as well as corporate credit risk rating data for French companies?
'FIBEN' is the Banque de France's database that provides thirty economic and financial ratios by sector as well as credit risk rating data. This information is crucial for assessing companies' financial health and their risk exposure, which directly influences market analysis.

Currently, analysts must refer to multiple sources to obtain this information, making this future platform highly anticipated for simplifying market studies.

The Market and Risk Mapping report is published annually in July, as indicated in the source material. This publication provides a comprehensive view of the risks affecting French markets, which is essential for market analysis.
