Summary

Abstract

Clearing and settlement have always been afterthoughts in the securities industry worldwide. But enhancing these processes has become such a high priority in Europe as part of the goal to create a pan-European financial market that the back office has suddenly become prominent. Regulators, industry participants, utilities, technology firms, and now even front-office personnel are involved. At stake are crucial issues like the fate of Europe's securities industry, the competitiveness of its firms globally, and the trust and faith of investors in its markets. TowerGroup recognizes the importance of EU clearing and settlement and focuses this Research Note on the key aspects of the subject, discussing the implications for the wider capital markets industry.
