Market infrastructure modernisation: defining your strategy to prepare for the next wave of change

A convergence of historic events has forced the capital markets ecosystem to navigate unprecedented volatility and surging trade volumes in recent years – ranging from the Covid-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions to inflationary pressures, geopolitical instability and banking sector turmoil.
To thrive in this landscape, firms must balance resilience with agility, embrace standardisation while preserving differentiation and meet rising expectations for user experience – all while future-proofing for next-generation investors and digital assets.
Modernisation for financial market infrastructures (FMIs) is imperative but not instantaneous. True transformation demands a clear strategic vision that aligns organisational priorities, investment decisions and the selection of platforms, partners and applications. While no two FMI modernisation strategies will be identical, each can draw valuable insights from others. Cross-industry collaboration will be essential to building resilient, high-integrity ecosystems that enhance accessibility and efficiency for market participants worldwide.
