ICMA - International Capital Market Association’s Post

Meanwhile, in the Silver Hall, Cassandra Jones, CFA, Managing Director, EMEA Head of Financing Solutions Client Manager at State Street, led a panel discussing the state of play and outlook of the global repo market. Our panellists explored the current state of play in the repo markets, how funding and liquidity is shaping up for the year and the market dynamics of supply and demand. The panel also discussed the volatility and challenges facing the repo market, including the importance of ensuring that liquidity is allocated where it is needed most. Key to the conversation was the importance of ensuring the repo market is up-to-date in terms of technology, given that it often last in line to receive technological investment. In addition, the panel discussed the implications of T+1 on the repo space, and why repo will have to adapt quickly to this. From post-execution to settlement, there is a wide variety of steps that take place separately for different counterparties. All this is carried out semi-manually and, therefore, moving to T+1 means all this activity leading up to settlement will need to take place in a shorter space of time. The panel included: Andreas Biewald, Managing Director, Senior Advisor Cash and Collateral, Treasury Department, Commerzbank AG Sara Carter, Global Head of Repo Brokertech Thomas Hansen, Managing Director and Head of Term Markets at Santander #ICMAAGM2024 #Brussels #global #Europe #joinus #capitalmarkets #event #csuite #repo
