EuroCTP has unveiled the first members of its advisory committee – an independent body composed of leading industry participants aiming to exchange views and co-design ‘the best’ European consolidated tape.
Through these discussions, all perspectives are set to be taken into account when it comes to defining how the tape will operate.
Specifically, the committee members are: Christiane Baumgarten of Deutsche Börse; Emil Framnes of Norges Bank; Jessica Horsfall of Bloomberg; Bogumil Jezewski from XTB; Niels Lemmers from Flow Traders; Allianz’s Eric Boess; Petr Musil of Wood & Co.; Albert Menkveld of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; and Martin Molko from Better Finance.
More individuals are also expected to join in the coming period.
Eglantine Desautel, chief executive of EuroCTP, explained: “A tape that is truly fit for purpose for Europe’s citizens, investors, and the market must be co-designed. EuroCTP’s Advisory Committee will strengthen our offering and is a testament to our commitment to develop the best consolidated tape for Europe.”
