Unifying the EU’s market for financial market infrastructures – the when, who, and how

The EU is envisioning its Capital Markets Union but so far, financial markets infrastructures have largely remained domestic businesses organised per member state, under scarce competition. (Their supervisory authorities, too, are still national.) Who benefits and loses from this, and what changes are we realistically up for? What setup would best support the continent’s financial market, which – at least on comparison with the US – shows a lacklustre performance?

On the panel, meet top seniors representing European exchanges, CSDs and clearinghouses alike, joined by competition advocate Karel Lannoo (interviewed by PostTrade 360° here).

Can’t add the session to “My schedule”? Your meetings page could reveal if the slot is blocked by a pending meeting invitation.

Adding a session to your personal schedule does not commit you to attend (except for the dinner or exclusive sessions where very clearly communicated). Conversely, it does not guarantee your seat, so come in good time where you suspect a full room.
