Infrastructure

The main purpose of the Infrastructure Working Group is to provide an information exchange forum for market infrastructure providers and users to discuss infrastructure-related developments.

In order to foster a comprehensive industry approach, ABBL and LuxCMA are jointly operating the Infrastructure Working Group, combining the expertise from both associations in a single forum.

The Infrastructure Working Group covers various topics relating to the functioning of primary and secondary capital markets, for both the (pre-)trade and the post-trade dimensions. This includes regulatory developments relating to the operation of financial markets infrastructures, such as MIFID/MIFIR, EMIR and CSDR, as well as initiatives led by authorities such as the European Central Bank (e.g. T2/T2S, ECMS), that have a considerable impact on market participants.

It also provides a forum to exchange and coordinate positions on emerging subjects, such as the adoption of new technologies or the transition to T+1 as new settlement standard.
