Responding to structural shifts within the securities market infrastructure landscape
Securities market infrastructures (SMIs) include Central Securities Depositories (CSDs), Securities Settlement Systems (SSS), Trade Repositories (TR) and Central Counterparties (CCPs).
Challenges they face include the need to be more cost-efficient, offer new services, adopt new standards and replace legacy systems, and need to address market and regulatory reforms that demand a more efficient use of liquidity, collateral and new reporting requirements. As ISO 20022 becomes the international market standard, there is also the challenge of ensuring a global approach to adoption.
The evolving geopolitical landscape and growing risk of cyberattacks make it ever more critical for SMIs to demonstrate higher levels of risk management, transparency and operational resilience.
Swift for Market Infrastructures - Interview of Edwin de Pauw, Managing Director, Euroclear
Join the industry dialogue
Community engagement in our MI Forum, a forum for market infrastructures and their communities to encourage industry dialogue and share ideas.
SMIs have to work. Consistently and reliably.
SMIs must deliver secure, reliable, efficient and cost-effective clearing, settlement and securities safekeeping for their community. SMIs are impacted by fast evolving and potentially disruptive technologies, by direct and indirect regulation, the need to control costs, and the ongoing evolution in standards. Swift’s expertise in innovative technologies, messaging and standards enables us to partner effectively with FMIs to help address these challenges and find cost effective and reliable solutions.
- Ensure market and securities integrity and regulatory compliance
