ICFR Forum: The Future of International OTC Derivatives Regulation
24 Nov 2009
The ICFR hosted a half day senior forum discussion about the future of international OTC derivatives regulation on 24th November 2009, at our offices in London.
London, UK
This event provided clarity on the current international debate on the global shape of future OTC derivatives regulation and participants gained insights into how companies will react to the proposed future regulatory framework. 25 delegates from regulation, financial industry, corporate representation and exchanges/clearing houses took part in this discussion.
Based on the findings of this roundtable, we can offer workshops and seminars around the issues of OTC derivatives.
