Global Regulation: What to Watch Out For – Markets and Securities Services Outlook

What are the big policy priorities of global regulators? In this podcast, we explore the focus on digitisation and ESG among financial services regulators and how the risks of both will be managed by regulated firms. Paul Ellis, Global Product Head for Regulation, Tax and Trustee, and Depository Services for HSBC, is joined by HSBC’s Henry Raschen, Head of Regulatory Outlook for Securities Services, James Pomeroy, Global Economist, and Richard Pounder, Global Head of Operational and Resilience Risk, Securities Services, as well as Shay Lydon, Partner in the Asset Management and Investment Funds Group at Matheson.

While timetables and details will be different from country to country, financial firms need to plan ahead with these global priorities in mind and meet the opportunities and challenges that these areas present. From renewed commitments across the globe on carbon net-zero targets, to asset owners and managers considering sustainability, our panellists look at what’s next in ESG. In the vast topic of digitisation, they consider policymaker approaches to crypto assets and regulated firms’ digital operation resilience.

Markets and Securities Services Outlook is a podcast miniseries exploring the critical topics that will shape our industry in the next decade, including sustainability, digitalisation and emerging markets. Find out what’s driving the global outlook for institutional investors and where the opportunities and challenges lie. For more information, visit here.
