Baringa at Sibos 2023

Climate change, environmental impact, and social responsibility are placing significant pressure on financial services to adapt and change their traditional business models. The current approach of making incremental adjustments may no longer be sufficient, and the industry must be prepared to take bolder steps in order to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. The question remains: are financial services ready to leap into the new era of sustainable business practices or will they continue to rely on models that are rapidly becoming outdated?

Enhancing cross-border flows and removing FX settlement risk is high on policymakers’ agendas. And, the industry is expected to come up with solutions to increase payment-versus-payment (PvP) protection, support trade and payment flows moving towards instant, while preserving FX contribution to banks' bottom lines. In this session, we’ll look at how we can strike the right balance between the need to better manage risks (especially on emerging market currencies), the efficiency gains that could be achieved through end-to-end transparency, and the benefits of netting and FX optimisation.

Tokenisation is taking the world by storm, finding an early champion in use cases like the tokenisation of real-world assets in everything from art to real-estate. But for every capital market transaction, there’s a settlement leg with one or more payments that today are settled over traditional rails. With new forms of digital money coming to market (e.g. CBDCs, tokenised cash), what new opportunities does this enable for financial markets? What challenges or risks does this create? And how can we ensure broader interoperability for all transactions and payment types across the financial markets?
