Financial Market Infrastructure Practice

INDUSTRY ECOSYSTEM

Through our extensive work on industry initiatives, and collaborating with Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) and service providers, we engage with prominent market participants around the globe, in a continuously evolving ecosystem.

The shifting Financial Market Infrastructure landscape requires participants to actively monitor and assess the potential impact as a result of (i) multiple consolidations and partnerships, (ii) changing operating models as part of a broader pandemic response, (iii) a concentrated regulatory agenda, all of which have been impacted by new and emerging technologies and a desire to explore mutualised solutions.
