Launched
in summer 2006, Settlements, Payments, E-money & E-trading Development
or SPEED, a new quarterly journal from Central Banking Publications,
focuses on policy developments affecting financial infrastructures at
the national and international levels.
Settlements,
payment and trading systems are crucial mechanisms enabling financial
institutions and all other economic agents to participate in a market
economy. Rapid innovation is transforming the way in which payments are
made, trades executed and settlements finalised.
Comment:
SPEED will seek to bring the viewpoints of users, providers and
regulators into closer contact, especially on key policy issues.
Reports: SPEED will meet the growing need for
a dialogue between the official sector, banks, system operators, and users,
notably major corporates.
Analysis: SPEED will be a key source to keep
readers informed on the policy issues involved and the thinking of policymakers.

A WELCOME FROM PROFESSOR CHARLES GOODHART, Financial Markets group, London
School of Economics, and former member of the Bank of England’s policymaking
monetary policy committee:
“Payments and settlement systems provide the essential infrastructure
for all markets. It is good that Central Banking Publications is now launching
a new Journal focussing on this underappreciated subject. Much is happening,
especially as a result of technology, and the field needs a practical, policy-oriented
record and analysis of developments.” – Charles Goodhart, June
2006 |

At present, the market is supplied with many sources of information about
payments systems, real-time gross settlement, straight-through-processing,
securities trading, risk management, banking technology.
Few set out to monitor and analyse changes in the financial infrastructure
as a whole. Yet increasingly what happens in one area has far-reaching implications
for all the others.
The time for a “silo approach” has passed.
Hence the need for SPEED. The title sums up the new approach of
this new publication in one word.
SPEED will track the development of the financial infrastructure,
at national levels as well as globally, as an integrated whole.
SPEED will ask: What should be the main priorities for providers
and users of payments and settlement systems? How are central banks and
regulators promoting the public interest in their oversight and leadership
roles? |
