ICMA Education & Training | Building Stronger Financial Markets in Emerging Economies: Frontclear in Action (Part 2)
Marc Granville, Senior Director at ICMA and Head of Education and Training, speaks with Hugh Friel, Senior Vice President at Frontclear, in the second part of this episode to explore how technology and standardisation are reshaping repo and collateral markets across emerging and frontier economies.
The discussion highlights how digital innovation and framework agreements can streamline legal onboarding, reduce documentation timelines for key agreements such as GMRA and ISDA, and support the evolution of repo markets from a “by appointment” model to a more efficient, flow based structure. It also examines the broader conditions required for sustainable market development, including long term policy commitment, robust legal and regulatory frameworks, and effective capacity building through blended education and training to strengthen expertise and support the development of global collateral markets.
