16th Annual
European Clearing and Settlement Planning for the Future in the New Financial Landscape |
||
|
When Lehmans Brothers collapsed last September, clearing and settlement came out of the shadows as it quietly and efficiently unravelled billions of dollars worth of exposures between Lehmans and its counterparties. This reinforced what regulators had already begun to realise – post trade infrastructures are essential for containing systemic risk. This new regulatory focus will drive more widespread use of clearing, which will involve major challenges – as well as major opportunities – for the industry. And the post trade industry is going to face other major issues in the coming months. These are just some of the topics to be addressed by our outstanding speaker faculty: • How to succeed in the post trade industry in the new financial landscape • Why the new emphasis on risk management will change the agenda • A new focus on cost and a re-examination of business models • Is the current operating model in the custody market sustainable? • Are CCPs bad for banks? • Ramifications of a more widespread use of CCPs • What does the future hold for OTC derivatives clearing? • European initiatives to reduce post trade costs – from the Code of Conduct to CESAME2 • TARGET2-Securities - where are we now and what are the next steps? • Collateral management in a brave new world • The right mechanism for governance of market infrastructures and exchanges • How exchange consolidation and the growth of MTFs will impact upon the post trade landscape. So what will determine who will be the winners and losers in the changing post trade landscape? How can you ensure that you emerge from the gloom fighting fit and stronger than ever? ICBI's annual European Clearing and Settlement conference is the leading event in the market. Now in its sixteenth successful year, the programme is extensively researched with the trade and post trade communities to ensure that it addresses the issues that matter most to you. This event could hardly be more timely with the significant changes currently underway in the clearing and settlement industry.  See below for more
