Meet the team behind Euroclear’s pivotal role in EU’s transition to T+1
T+1 – Meet the team – Katarzyna Kawa
The third episode of our 'Meet the team' series continues our journey behind the scenes of the Euroclear teams supporting the industry’s transition to T+1 settlement and turns our attention to the hot topic of collateral allocation and optimisation.
Katarzyna Kawa, Product Manager – Collateral Management Services, explains how Collateral Management Services are evolving to support clients in a T+1 environment, where collateral must be mobilised and allocated more quickly and efficiently.
She shares how Euroclear is creating a new dynamic that enables clients to adapt to tighter settlement deadlines by increasing both the speed of collateral management processes and operational efficiency. The Euroclear Collateral Highway® infrastructure already mobilises over €2 trillion of collateral assets every day and we are working on the enhancements to our AutoSelect® module – more frequent allocation runs and reporting and new optimisation capabilities will give even greater control and responsiveness intra-day.
Katarzyna echoes the themes from previous videos in the series, how industry-wide collaboration is underpinning the move to T+1 and how inspiring it is to see everyone working so well together towards a common goal.
With greatly compressed timescales under the T+1 settlement regime it's acknowledged that many existing processes will have to change. The structure and dynamics of the operational day will evolve to embrace these changes, simpler, faster, smoother. This third episode of a series of T+1 webinars as we explore how Euroclear Bank is redesigning its operational day to optimise its processes and to offer a more resilient infrastructure to enhance stability and reduce complexity. Learn how our new operational day gives you instant control over positions and liquidity and how our optimised start of day priorities APAC securities and cash flows for better liquidity management.
