  • ISDA derivatiViews: Why We Need Safe And Efficient SFT Markets

    Date 19/03/2026

    Securities financing transactions (SFTs) play a vital role in fostering liquidity, mobilizing collateral and supporting the smooth functioning of derivatives markets. But during periods of stress, secured funding markets often come under pressure just when they’re needed most, with reduced availability amplifying external shocks and increasing the reliance on public-sector intervention. Addressing certain regulatory and structural frictions that contribute to these dynamics is increasingly becoming a priority to improve the resilience and availability of SFTs in all market conditions.

  • Prepared Remarks Before SEC Speaks, Paul S. Atkins, SEC Chairman, Washington D.C., March 19, 2026

    Date 19/03/2026

    Thank you, Laura [Unger], for your introduction, and for the fine job that you have done spearheading this year’s program alongside our hosts at the Practising Law Institute. I should also like to acknowledge our many participants for being here today, including those of you who are tuning in virtually. Of course, I must not neglect to thank my fellow speakers from across the Commission for contributing their time and expertise. The strength of this institution has always rested on the dedication of its public servants. And this annual opportunity for SEC staff to speak publicly about their work is an occasion for all of us to recognize the rigor and high purpose that animates it. Finally, before I share a few reflections, I must note—as you will no doubt hear countless times today—that the views I express here are my own as Chairman and do not necessarily reflect those of the SEC as an institution or of the other Commissioners.

  • Monetary Policy Statement: Christine Lagarde, President Of The ECB, Luis de Guindos, Vice-President Of The ECB

    Date 19/03/2026

    Good afternoon, the Vice-President and I welcome you to our press conference.

    The Governing Council today decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. We are determined to ensure that inflation stabilises at our two per cent target in the medium term. The war in the Middle East has made the outlook significantly more uncertain, creating upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth. It will have a material impact on near-term inflation through higher energy prices. Its medium-term implications will depend both on the intensity and duration of the conflict and on how energy prices affect consumer prices and the economy.
