ICMA Quarterly Report
Welcome to the ICMA Quarterly Report Second Quarter 2020The International Capital Market Association's Assessment of Market Practice and Regulatory Policy
This Quarterly Report is produced by the Market Practice and Regulatory Policy team at ICMA.
The focus of the ICMA Quarterly Report for the Second Quarter of 2020 is on COVID-19: the impact on capital markets and the response, introduced by a message from Martin Scheck, ICMA’s Chief Executive. There are feature articles on official responses to the market impact of COVID-19; the Chinese bond market and the impact of COVID-19; Time to Act: ICMA’s third corporate bond secondary market study, which is particularly timely in view of COVID-19. The Quarterly Assessment is on post-Brexit: should the transition period be extended? And there are articles on the impact of COVID-19 and the response in other sections of the ICMA Quarterly Report, which cover ICMA’s work on market practice and regulation in the primary markets, secondary markets, repo and collateral markets, sustainability bond markets, asset management and FinTech in international capital markets.
We welcome feedback and comment on the issues raised in the report; please e-mail regulatorypolicynews@icmagroup.org or alternatively, the ICMA contact whose e-mail address is given at the end of the relevant article.
