11.40 Panel: Secured financing – why it is important?
The expert panel will consider the role that secured financing plays in the
global financial system, with particular emphasis on the increasing use of
collateral to underpin regulatory change, for example in clearing for OTC
derivatives and implementation of central bank policy (QE). Will the
cumulative effects of regulatory initiatives (MiFID II, CSDR Mandatory buyins, FSB proposals for haircuts) intended to reform the collateral market
actually cause the supply of collateral to dry up? Are we already in danger of
throwing out the baby with the bathwater? Or is there still time to nurture
the market with well-thought out regulatory measures?
