The European Central Bank (ECB) is under pressure to help the Eurozone's struggling economy, The Financial Times reported on Wednesday.On Monday, leading shares in London closed 97 points lower, their biggest daily drop since March, following disappointing purchasing managers' index (PMI) data from France and Germany, the Eurozone's two biggest economies.The ECB has already cut lending and deposit rates, but with growth stalling and inflation still low, it might need to step up its effort.According to The Guardian, the deputy governor of the Bank of England has demanded better co-operation with US regulators over the size of the fines being sanctioned upon banks, to ensure lenders do not weaken their financial position.On Tuesday, Barclays was fined £38m for failing to keep its clients' money adequately segregated from the bank's own assets, a record fine for such an offence, but Andrew Bailey said he wanted a "cards on the table" approach from regulators around the world."I am trying to build capital in firms and it's draining out the other side (in fines and penalties)," Bailey told a press conference.Pub chain Greene King saw a £660m takeover bid turned down by Spirit Pub Company, reported The Daily Telegraph.Spirit, which owns 1,200 pubs across the UK, said it had turned down the offer from its larger rival as it felt the bid, which was officially submitted on 15 September and rejected three days later, "undervalued" the business.Following the disclosure of the proposed takeover, Spirit shares rose 17% to 88.75p, still below the 100p a share made by Greene King.The three initial public offerings announced in the UK between Monday and Tuesday signal the revival of Britain's listing market, the Wall Street Journal reported.After a relatively quiet summer, the UK listing market is on the rise again, the report adds, but some major investors have warned that their interest for new share issues remains at a much lower level than it was earlier in 2014.
