European Commission - Report from Expert Group on Markets Infrastructures
Wednesday 12 October 2011 CEExecutive Summary
The past ten years have seen unprecedented focus placed on the importance of post-trade infrastructure to the European economy. This report provides a clear overview of how the efforts to develop a safe and efficient clearing and settlement infrastructure for the EU have progressed and gives an in-depth view of the post-trading landscape by asset class.
Post-trade infrastructure is a difficult and complex subject where finding consensus on the issues and their solutions is challenging. However, the EGMI Group have been successful in communicating both. This report makes it clear that despite the effort and resources invested in the past decade, there is still considerable work to be done to achieve a truly pan-European posttrade infrastructure that can drive Europe's economic potential.
There is widespread consensus on the need to continue to move forward with this work. The Group has drawn on its considerable skills and expertise from across industry to suggest potential policy options to deliver this.
