WASHINGTON – On Thursday, January 23, the Office of Financial Research and the Financial Stability Oversight Council will host their third annual joint conference, entitled Mapping and Monitoring the Financial System: Liquidity, Funding, and Plumbing. The conference will bring together financial market participants, policy makers, regulators and researchers to discuss the data, risk management, and financial stability challenges posed by the consistently evolving nature of financial activity.
Morning panels will focus on mapping liquidity and funding, and on mapping financial system “plumbing” to help assess counterparty and operational risks. Following luncheon keynote remarks, afternoon sessions will discuss challenges and risks associated with the expansion in central clearing, including presentations on data standards and gaps for trade and swap data repositories, and a discussion of central counterparty developments and risks.
