Enhanced regulatory demands, increased regionalisation, and new technologies are driving macro-level market shifts
Financial market macro-level shifts
Macro-level changes are affecting the financial markets on every level, and Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) need to respond to the community’s emerging needs. These include more rigorous regulatory demands, the need for efficient use of liquidity and collateral for trade reporting, and more robust infrastructure resilience.
The current shift towards regionalisation creates market harmonisation, interoperability and integrated economies. In this context, a common standard, such as ISO 20022, is indispensable, as it allows message formats to be streamlined, supports cross-border transactions and reduces inter-market friction.
As new technologies emerge, customers expect a 24/7/365, real-time experience. This is resetting expectations for both financial institutions and the underlying market infrastructures that support these communities.
Responding to a changing landscape
Financial market infrastructures must, at extreme scale, deliver secure, reliable, efficient and cost-effective services that successfully process financial transactions for an entire community, whilst responding the shifting market landscape and operating within a defined cost-basis. Whilst steady and consistent delivery of their fiduciary responsibilities, at minimal risk, remains paramount, financial market infrastructures must also respond to the shifting market and support their entire community.
