    Date 10/06/2014

This paper outlines the composition of the equity derivatives market and the extent of central clearing today, as well as the criteria that should be assessed when determining whether a clearing mandate should apply in the EU. In addition, the paper examines whether the liquidity of the underlying reference share – proposed by ESMA as a possible method of defining a class of product – is appropriate for clearing mandate determinations.

    Date 10/06/2014

    Thank you. It’s a great pleasure to join everyone this afternoon and my thanks to Lansons for inviting me back.

    Last year, I set out some of our key ambitions for the year – particularly around the importance of promoting good conduct in the financial sector, and its link to priority issues like trust and confidence.

    The industry has responded positively I think. Most firms have change programmes in place, and we’ve seen welcome steps in areas like incentives and interest-only mortgages.
