As the shift to T+1 settlement gains momentum globally, securities finance professionals are examining its implications for the industry. With the US, Canada, Mexico, and Jamaica already adopting T+1, other regions, including the UK and EU, are exploring a similar transition and have established task forces to evaluate the process.
This panel will discuss lessons learned from early adopters, the challenges and opportunities of moving to accelerated settlement, and how these changes will impact global securities markets. Panellists will also consider the broader implications for market infrastructure, cross-border transactions, and operational efficiency in the securities finance landscape.
