Overview

The 2025 ERCC Annual General Meeting and conference was held on Wednesday 19 November in London, in a new, slightly extended format compared to previous years.

The half-day event was kindly hosted by Euronext in London’s Fishmongers’ Hall. The programme covered a mix of panel discussions and keynote speeches involving senior market practitioners, ICMA experts and public sector representatives. Participants discussed the current state and outlook for the repo market, as well as touching on the latest regulatory developments and related ICMA initiatives. And, as always, the ERCC conference was a great opportunity for the wider repo community to get together. The event was followed by networking drinks.
