About the journal
 


speed


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.

      Testimonial
   
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

      No more silo mentality
   
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?
