Date 10/05/2019

Thank you to the Banque de France for giving me the opportunity to speak at this conference, both as Chair of the Bank for International Settlements’ Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) and as Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank. Since my remarks dwell on cyber resilience for financial market infrastructures, I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Alberto Giovannini, who passed away two weeks ago. Alberto combined theoretical insight with a deep understanding of how financial markets work. His 2001 and 2003 reports on Cross-border Clearing and Settlement Arrangements in the EU have shaped the discussion on European post-market activities. He would have encouraged us to start our discussion from first principles and recognise cyber resilience for what it is: a global public good.
