Matthew Chan, ASIFMA - Addressing securities & derivatives market fragmentation through the policymaking lifecycle (S2E6)

Matthew Chan is the Head of Public Policy, Regulatory Affairs & Sustainable Finance (APAC) at the Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (ASIFMA), an independent, regional trade association with over 130 member firms comprising a diverse range of leading financial institutions from both the buy and sell side. ASIFMA, jointly with Oliver Wyman, recently published a well-researched paper on market fragmentation in Asia. The paper projects growth of APAC capital markets at a rate triple the rest of the world, so that by 2030, they will make up 50% of global activity. With regional economic growth and stability relying on capital advancement, it is important to identify drivers of fragmentation (lack of standards, extraterritorial policies, localization & ringfencing, inconsistent implementation) that may lead to unintended consequences, and engage with the various policymaking bodies to achieve a better outcome. The full paper is accessible from the ASIFMA website: https://www.asifma.org/research/addressing-market-fragmentation-through-the-policymaking-lifecycle/ Produced in collaboration with Tokyo FinTech.
