ECB executive board member Yves Mersch [...] signalled that the financial transaction tax may come with adverse consequences for financial markets in his speech, according to a copy provided by the ECB. Some eleven European Union countries have agreed to implement the tax on trades in stocks, bonds and derivatives.

While Mr Mersch was careful to say that the ECB has taken a neutral view on the objectives of the measure, he mentioned that the tax may hamper market liquidity by encouraging banks to seek funding through the central bank, which isn't subject to the tax, instead of via markets.

He added that it could also reduce liquidity in the market for government bonds, which would only increase market fragmentation.

For those reasons, Mr Mersch called for an impact assessment on the effects of the tax, adding "some modifications in the current proposals merit consideration."
