ECMI and CEPS are pleased to announce the launch of the new report by Ruben Lee titled:

  The Governance of Market Infrastructure Institutions

e

Financial markets matter. Their efficient, safe and sound operation depends on three key types of infrastructure – exchanges, central counter-parties and central securities depositories. How these institutions are governed critically affects their performance. Yet the diversity of how they are governed across the world has not been well understood, and more importantly, nobody knows how they should be governed. These issues are crucial for the success of financial markets in Europe in many ways. Three critically important issues are: What legislative and regulatory requirements should be imposed on market infrastructure institutions, particularly in light of the trend to promote centralisation of trading of OTC products? Is the current governance model for Target2-Securities appropriate? Are the governance frameworks of the major market infrastructures well designed to deliver efficiency, safety, and reduce systemic risk?
