Dublin, Jan. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "SFTR - Securities Financing Transactions Regulation" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) forms a central element of the European Commission's strategy to reduce perceived shadow banking' risks in the securities financing markets. It forms part of the EU's response to the Financial Stability Board's August 2013 policy proposals on Securities Lending and Repos. This one day course describes the key requirements of the SFTR and explores the issues faced by practitioners as the market prepares for implementation.
