Reception
Financial Markets Group Fall Conference
The Financial Markets Group is hosting its annual conference, an event that provides the opportunity for policymakers, central bankers, regulators, academics, and industry leaders to discuss key issues impacting the stability, integrity, and efficiency of the financial system.
The theme of this year’s conference is U.S. Treasury Clearing: Opportunities, Challenges, and Financial Stability Considerations. It will feature panel discussions that cover the U.S. Treasury clearing mandate and implementation mechanics, explore potential benefits and costs from this shift in market structure, and consider a range of financial stability implications from more central clearing in U.S. financial markets.
