Australia’s market backbone: turning infrastructure reform into strategic edge
Australia’s financial markets continue to evolve at pace, market infrastructure is no longer viewed as a back-office utility but as a driver of strategic growth, resilience, and innovation. Today, it’s no longer just about system upgrades or compliance checks; it’s about building strategic, resilient foundations that can adapt to intensifying regulatory demands, accelerating digitisation, and rising operational complexity.

In this exclusive session, key stakeholders from the industry will come together to examine how forward-thinking institutions are reimagining market infrastructure to unlock long-term value, elevate transparency, and fortify resilience. The discussion will go beyond theory, focusing on actionable strategies for navigating reform, modernising critical systems, and turning infrastructure into a lasting competitive advantage.

Key discussion points:

  • Rebuilding trust through transparency: How can firms improve data quality and visibility to meet regulatory demands and boost market confidence?
  • Modernising infrastructure: What should firms prioritise when upgrading systems in light of the CHESS replacement project to support growth, flexibility, and resilience?
  • Turning automation into advantage: How are firms leveraging data-driven workflows to enable smarter decisions, reduce risk, and increase speed?
  • Achieving resilience through scalable operations: Why agility in the middle and back office is essential for delivering seamless service and staying ahead in an increasingly demanding environment, particularly among institutional investors who demand faster, more transparent trade execution and settlement processes.
