Event Overview

The International Capital Market Association and the Nordic Capital Market Forum were pleased to present their annual joint seminar for their members in the capital markets. The theme of the seminar this year was ‘A new round of regulation’.

2013 shows little sign of a slowdown in the pace of regulatory reform in Europe’s financial markets. Among the items on the regulatory agenda are new measures relating to ‘shadow banking’, which will affect the international repo market and the asset management community and further progress on Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) expected to impact the secondary market trading of bonds.

At this one day conference in Oslo, panels of market experts and regulators from the Nordic and European markets took a wide ranging view on the immediate prospects for different areas of capital market activity including: raising capital in Europe, the future of OTC markets, the increasing importance of repo and collateral and the challenges facing investors in the real economy. The event was designed around the need for the business functions in banks - syndication, trading, and operations - to understand the implications of regulation.

The conference was followed by a networking drinks reception.
