Main Day 1 | 16th September

9:50 AM Swaps Market Structure Panel: Next-gen FX swaps: What structural changes are required to move from manual bilateral workflows to a more automated, credit-efficient model?

As electronification has reshaped the spot FX market, FX swaps have remained largely bilateral and credit-intensive. Structural differences in liquidity formation, balance-sheet usage and credit intermediation continue to limit automation, workflow efficiency and price transparency-particularly during periods of market stress, when access and execution outcomes can diverge sharply from spot.

This panel will examine what structural changes are required to support the next phase of FX swaps evolution. From more flexible credit and connectivity frameworks to the emergence of streaming, improved intermediation models and the potential longer-term role of clearing, buy-side, sell-side and platform practitioners will explore how far automation can realistically go, and which practical steps traders can take today while the market structure continues to evolve.
