After a security trades: Why post-trade infrastructure matters, how it works, and why there is currently a push to make it work better

Post-trade infrastructure is the ‘plumbing’ that facilitates the safe and efficient settlement of financial market transactions. Much like ordinary plumbing, it is little understood by most users but capable of causing serious issues if it goes wrong. In this talk, the key features of securities market infrastructure will be described. The current push to move from (sometimes leaky) national plumbing in Europe to more integrated cross border infrastructure will then be discussed.
