Description:
We are delighted to invite you to an upcoming event co-hosted by the LSE Systemic Risk Centre/FMG and Oxera, which will focus on key issues in payment systems. The LSE Systemic Risk Centre, with which the UCL Financial Computing Group is affiliated, plays an important role in addressing systemic risks in the financial sector. The event will be held in-person only and is free and open to the public. Payment systems matter for societal wellbeing. They influence financial stability and financial inclusion as well as the speed, safety and cost of the billions of payments made every day by businesses and private individuals. Recognizing the critical role that payment systems play in the economy, the UK Government created the Payment System Regulator (PSR) in 2015 to "develop and protect competitive markets and contribute to the creation of market conditions in which innovation thrives". Today's emerging technologies create enormous scope for innovation and competition. To explore the opportunities and challenges that these developments pose for payment system regulators, the LSE - Systemic Risk Centre and Oxera Consulting LLP have gathered a roster of academics, regulators, and market participants to discuss current issues in payments systems and the best ways forward. The keynote address will be delivered by David Geale, Managing Director of the Payment Systems Regulator. The conference will be held under the Chatham House Rule. Speakers: Simon Burden (NatWest), Jordi Gual (IESE Business School), Vikram Haksar (IMF), Nico Lauridsen (University of Bologna / European University Institute / Florence School of Banking and Finance), Dan Moore (Payment Systems Regulator), James Sanders (Bank of England), Julius Sen (FMG/SRC) .
