Financial Market Infrastructures (“FMIs”) play an integral role in post-trade, Payment, Clearing and Settlement (“PCS”) of cash and securities transactions and financial instruments worldwide. FMIs comprise three key segments; Central Securities Depositories (“CSDs”); Payment Systems and Central Counterparties (“CCPs”), and are critically important to the operability, connectivity and stability of the financial markets in which they operate. Soundness, resilience, and strength of supervision and oversight of each FMI is a key focus of both regulators, and the banks and institutions that use them ensuring related risks can be appropriately identified and managed.
