🌐 CSD Systemic Risk 📊 Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs), including Central Securities Depositories (CSDs), are crucial for the stability of our financial system. The European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA) Risk Management Working Group (RM WG) has taken a proactive step by establishing a Task Force to delve deeper into systemic risk and produced a great paper for the benefit of all of us. 🔍 The Task Force focused on macroeconomic stress exposures for CSDs and systemic risk implications in their interactions with market participants. Discussions extended to domains like business continuity and recovery planning. The result? A proposed set of indicators is presented in a high-level systemic risk dashboard outlined in our latest report. 📈 ECSDA RM WG Members will begin using this methodology, open to evolution over time. Should you have a view? We'll be pleased to exchange about it. https://lnkd.in/eBg2rqqc #CSD #Finance #RiskManagement #FinancialMarkets #SystemicRisk #ECSDA #FinancialStability 🌐📈🔍📖
