Riding the wave of public sentiment to overhaul financial markets, regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are drafting new rules for derivatives instruments traded over-the-counter (OTC). Current proposals in the EU and the US are calling into question the future prospects for trade execution, clearing and settlement platforms. On the one hand, there is strong pressure for centralisation of clearing, standardisation and data reporting, and on the other, there is an underlying trade-off with customisation and liquidity that can be a source of instability in the long run.

This conference will provide an overview of the current status of the regulatory proposals and their potential impact on business models. It will provide key industry participants with the opportunity to hear directly from regulators and policy-makers about the changes that will affect them. The event will also give them a platform from which to voice their questions and concerns.
