From storm clouds to silver linings - rethinking securities financing post QT

Friday 15 November

9:45 - 10:30 - From storm clouds to silver linings - rethinking securities financing post QT


The ECB started its Quantitative Tightening (QT) in March 2023 and it has now largely been completed. The move from Quantitative Easing (QE), which had been in place since 2015, to QT signalled a more stable economic environment but also created a new dynamic in securities financing. Where is the market today in terms of interest rates, supply, market volatility, collateral requirements and what new products and market opportunities exist as the market evolves?
