Implementing the Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy Summit
Asset Servicing Times are delighted to support City and Financial Global's upcoming Implementing the Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy Summit, which is taking place on 22 September in central London.
The report that HM Treasury’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion recently published sets out a comprehensive blueprint for implementing the UK Government’s Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy. It covers everything from the tokenisation of existing assets and developing digitally native asset classes to fully digitising the UK’s shareholding system to completing the move to T+1 settlement and to harnessing the power of AI/Smart Data. It reflects an understanding that we are moving to a new paradigm of how financial assets are issued, traded, cleared, and settled.
Organised in partnership with the Dematerialisation Market Action Taskforce, the Accelerated Settlement (T+1) Taskforce Technical Group and, subject to final confirmation, the Wholesale Digital Markets Taskforce, this highly topical summit will examine the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for financial firms active in the wholesale markets and the steps that firms should be taking now in preparation for the transition to a fully digitalised market model.
We are delighted that Sasha Mills, Executive Director, Financial Market Infrastructure, Bank of England, will be giving a keynote address.
Among the topics that the faculty of expert speakers will address are the following:
• Delivering the Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy
• Modernising Money and Markets: The Bank of England’s Vision for UK Wholesale Finance
• Market Optimisation: Eradicating Paper and the Road to T+1 in October 2027
