Risk managers set to benefit from drive to address FX operational risks
“CLS, one of the most complicated of projects, finally came to fruition [earlier this month], offering the FX markets a major improvement in risk reduction. CLS may be a landmark for the business but it doesn’t eliminate all risk, since some currencies are not covered,” Fisher added.
Perhaps the biggest development, from an operational risk standpoint, however, is the drive towards STP. But since the costs of implementation are high, only the larger banks are benefiting at the moment, Fisher said.
But because larger banks are increasingly dominating the FX market, reflecting customer demand for a one-stop shop for all banking needs, smaller institutions could face problems in the future, Fisher claimed. “The lack of liquidity in smaller currencies is making it increasingly difficult for niche banks to win FX business. And this could prove to be a major concern,” Fisher said.
