EMIR, Dodd Frank, Basel III, and the CSD Directive are some of the most sweeping financial reforms in living memory which have revolutionary impact on the post-trade landscape.
Complying with these new regulations and adapting to new initiatives will involve significant costs and challenges for all financial institutions –particularly those individuals responsible for clearing, collateral and network management, but at the same time this presents new opportunities for businesses able to help the market address these challenges.
