As the FX market adapts to shorter settlement cycles and increasing same-day trading activity, market participants are seeking new ways to enhance post-trade efficiency, manage risk and optimize post-trade workflows. With T+1 now in place in the U.S. and further market changes anticipated globally, the need for resilient and scalable post-trade processes has never been greater.
In this fireside chat, BlackRock will share its perspective on how evolving market and regulatory dynamics are shaping FX post-trade operations, and the approaches being used to navigate an increasingly complex environment. The discussion will explore the role of payment-versus-payment (PvP) settlement in mitigating settlement risk, the challenges associated with transactions that fall outside traditional risk mitigation frameworks, and the importance of workflow optimization across the FX lifecycle.
