Political agreement on the text is not expected before the middle of 2012\, with the likelihood that a further year will be required to develop the necessary secondary legislation. There is still a long way to go to implementation and a number of serious questions have to be reso lved.\n\nThe current proposal raises specific concerns for participants in the international debt markets as it seeks to apply the lessons learnt fr om the application of pre and post trade transparency in equity markets un der MiFID I to the OTC markets.\n\nICMA members are invited to attend a lu nchtime roundtable briefing on the MiFID II proposals and its implications for the OTC markets\, the discussion will be lead by John Serocold of ICM A and Adam Jacobs from ISDA.\n\nThe event will take place at ICMA Limited' s London office at 23 College Hill at 12.30 on Thursday\, 17 November 2011 \, lunch will be provided.\n\nRegister for the event by e-mail to Suzanne Atkins giving your name\, job title and company name.\n\n DTEND;TZID="GMT Standard Time":20120301T133000 DTSTAMP:20111114T104656Z DTSTART;TZID="GMT Standard Time":20120301T123000 LAST-MODIFIED:20120222T101857Z LOCATION:International Capital Market Association\, 23 College Hill\, Londo n\, EC4R 2RP\, United Kingdom PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-gb:International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Lunc htime Roundtable discussion ‘Shadow banking\, the repo market and regula tion’\, London\, 1 March 2012 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E0080000000070B29CBABAA2CC01000000000000000 01000000092CAD92DE83E374383E93926494EC15E X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Last year the Fina ncial Stability Board (FSB) published its recommendations on strengthening oversight and regulation of shadow banking\, with the regulation of secur ities lending/repo as one of the work streams defined in the report.  ICM A’s European Repo Committee (ERC) is actively engaging with the work whi ch is now underway and has commissioned an academic study from Richard Com otto of the ICMA Centre at the University of Reading to provide greater un derstanding of what shadow banking is\, how repo and securities lending is seen as fitting into this system and what regulators are contemplating fo r these markets.

\n\n

ICM A members are invited to attend a lunchtime roundtable where the author wi ll introduce his new work\, focussing particularly on the repo market and its perception by regulators\, the possible effects of current regulatory proposals and the macroeconomic risks of impairing the functioning of the repo market. Godfried De Vidts\, Chair of ICMA’s ERC will comment on the study and on regulatory developments in this area.
