T+1 in Europe - when resource management is a challenge: readiness, risks and the road ahead

Friday 7 November

11:30 - T+1 in Europe - when resource management is a challenge: readiness, risks and the road ahead

 

Europe is on the brink of a major financial transformation with the move to a T+1 settlement cycle - reducing the time between trade execution and settlement from two days to one. This shift promises greater market efficiency, reduced counterparty risk and alignment with global financial hubs like the US.

But with opportunity comes challenge. The accelerated timeline demands quicker and sharper forecasting of inventory, liquidity and funding needs - raising the question: is the industry truly ready?

Join our expert panel as we unpack the implications of this transition, explore the operational and strategic hurdles and discuss how firms can prepare for a smoother path forward in this new era of settlement


Moderator: Alexander Westphal - Senior Director, Market Practice and Regulatory Policy, ICMA

  • Roy Zimmerhansl - Head of Capital Markets, WTS Hansuke
