I enjoyed catching up with Michael Syn last month while in Singapore for #FIAAsia. Michael is President of SGX Group and, in a nutshell, oversees all things markets for SGX.    He shared his priorities for SGX and the biggest opportunities for growth, SGX's strategy for commodities, and the key role Singapore and its markets play in providing access and exposure to markets in China and India. I also learned about Michael's passion for growing heirloom tomatoes. As a tomato snob from Indiana, that got my attention! I hope you enjoy.   🎧 Listen here --> https://lnkd.in/eY-zbmFA

FIA, EACH, FESE, and AFME strongly urge the European Commission to clarify that financial services provided by EU and non-EU firms to financial entities are not considered ‘ICT services’ under the Digital Operational Resilience Act. The associations, and many EU and non-EU financial firms more broadly, are deeply concerned about the potential impacts on implementation and compliance, supervision and oversight, and broader anti-competitive effects on the market.
