The editors of Risk magazine and FX Week, in association with Icap, are pleased to announce a unique online video forum in Hong Kong, London and New York that addresses The Impact of Regulation on the Global OTC Market.

The forum brought together leading industry figures from the world's major financial centres in three separate online live video events discussing the key issues from a regional perspective. This is a rare opportunity to gain a truly global perspective on an important range of topics with the potential to affect all OTC market participants.

All three exclusive forum events were broadcast live on 19 October 2010 at 3pm local time.

Issues addressed include:

1. A view on the macro-economic financial position from a prudential perspective
2. Regulatory arbitrage - how likely is it and how can it be prevented and/or managed?
3. Identification of the inherent operational risks associated with using a one-stop clearing house system
4. Settlement risk - what is being done to tackle it?
5. Exploring the implications of algorithmic/automated trading
6. How will OTC derivatives regulation being drawn up in the US and EU affect foreign exchange?
7. Does the FX derivatives market need central clearing?
