AbstractThe dynamics of the increase in volume and amount of the financial or commercial transactions during the last decennials has amplified the role of clearing and settlement systems, along with the payment ones. From the quality of these systems as a financial markets stability provider also derives the concern for the management of financial risks mainly generated by the participants in these systems. The clearing-settlement systems, operated by infrastructure entities of the capital markets, ensure, within certain limits, a risk management for the incidents that could occur in the settlement activity regarding the financial transactions concluded between participants. We are going to present a methodology for determining the required collateral that must be maintained/updated by the debtor participants of a clearing-settlement system in order to ensure a robust management of the risks that could occur in the settlement operations. This methodology can be applied by any infrastructure entity of the capital market that manages collateral systems to limit the number of cases of settlement fails in financial transactions.

When a charge is taken over cash or securities transferred or held in a recognized clearing and settlement system, the security position of the charge is in some respects reinforced. The European Commission has been concerned with managing systemic risk in such settlement systems. This chapter examines the two key measures to support the stability of such systems: firstly, the Directive on Settlement finality in Payment and Securities Systems; and, secondly, the Directive on financial collateral arrangement.

The global financial crisis highlighted the interconnectedness of international financial markets and the risk of contagion it posed. The crisis also emphasized the importance of supranational regulation and regulatory cooperation to address that risk. Yet, although capital flows are global, securities regulation is not. As a 2019 report by IOSCO notes, the regulatory challenges revealed during the global financial crisis have by no means dissipated over the last decade. Lack of international standards, or differences in the way jurisdictions implement such standards, can often result in regulatory-driven market fragmentation. This article considers a range of cooperative techniques designed to achieve international regulatory harmonization and effective financial market supervision. It includes discussion of a high profile cross-border supervisory experiment, the 2008 US-Australian Mutual Recognition Agreement, which was the first agreement of its kind for the SEC. The article also examines some key regulatory developments in Australia and Asia since the time of the US-Australian Mutual Recognition Agreement.

This paper assesses the recent progress and future direction of labor policy in the European Community, now the European Union. The authors show that most of the mandates foreshadowed under the December 1989 Community Social Charter have now been enacted into law. They analyze the possible costs, as well as the benefits, of these firstphase mandates and show the link between these adjustment costs and the Community's policy of providing subsidies to its poorer member states. They also demonstrate how the new Treaty on European Union, agreed to at Maastricht in December 1991, has increased the scope for Community-level labor market regulation.

The practice of joint-stock companies in Russia and other BRIC countries suggests that the development of the corporate sector and the stock market requires a corporate governance level of the companies that corresponds to international standards. The Russian Code of Corporate Conduct was implemented in 2002 and has not been revised for many years. The same is true for Codes of other BRIC countries. 2013 the situation has changed. Russia published a Draft Code of Corporate Governance that should reflect the changes in Russian Corporate Governance over the last 10 years. The paper critically analyses this draft code and gives implications about the future of corporate governance in Russia. We are doing so in comparing Russian Corporate Governance Initiatives with those of other BRIC countries.

This chapter examines the interaction between automated, algorithmic markets and fundamental legal concepts in securities regulation, an area to which policy-makers have devoted little attention. Recent advances in communication technology have facilitated the rapid rise of algorithmic trading and automated market mechanics. This chapter surveys eight framework notions critical to regulation and discusses how these might apply in an automated marketplace. Specifically, it examines reasonableness; strict liability; foreseeability; contribution; scienter; damage and harm; evidence and proof; and disclosure and information dissemination. This analysis reveals how deeply-held assumptions guiding regulatory law sit uneasily in today’s complicated and fast-paced markets.
