Panel 1 - The role of shadow banking in the financial systemDiscussion points• Is shadow banking adequately regulated at present or are there loopholes to be filled?• How can we improve the consistency between jurisdiction when it comes to regulation and supervision?• How can we increase our understanding of how the shadow banking system works and how it is related to the core banking system?• How can the transparency in the repo and securities lending markets be improved?• Is there a need for further regulation of ETFs? Panel 2 - Money Market Funds Discussion points• Which risks do Money Market Funds pose? Do they represent a systemic risk?• How can we reduce the risk of runs on Money Market Funds?• Should Money Market Funds be required to hold a minimum capital buffer? Is 3 per cent of the total assets (as proposed by the Commission) the right level?• Should Money Market Funds be required to hold a minimum level of liquid assets? Is the commission proposal (i.e. 10% maturing daily and an extra 20% within a week) well balanced in this aspect?• Is there a need for better transparency of Money Market Funds in order to enhance investor protection?• Should regulation of Money Market Funds be differentiated between different types of MMFs (e.g. maturity or asset class)?• Is there a need for a specific framework to address funds with constant net asset value, e.g. requiring them to adopt a variable net asset value or seek a limited-purpose banking license? Speaker line-upSaid El Khadraoui Member of the European Parliament, Rapporteur on Money Market FundsSyed Kamall Member of the European Parliament, Shadow Rapporteur on Shadow Banking and on Money Market FundsFranck Conrad Policy Officer, Unit G4-Asset Management, DG MARKT, European CommissionRichard Stobo Team Leader – Investment Management, European Securities and Markets AuthorityDr Anastasia Nesvetailova Reader in International Political Economy, Director of City Political Economy Research Centre, City University LondonDavid Carruthers Managing Director, MarkitJennifer Gillespie Head of Money Markets, Legal & General Investment ManagementGraham Bishop Independent consultant, EU financial regulation - ModeratorFederated - Name of speaker to be confirmed More information:qedcommunication.eu/shadowbanking
