Stonked? Stability in the face of social networks

2021 opened with a new challenge to market stability: individuals combining the power of social networks with platforms that facilitate access to capital markets. These platforms have served to inform, educate and include, but may now pose a challenge for those tasked with protecting the interests of both the end investor and maintaining stable financial markets. OMFIF and the CME Group bring together a panel of experts to consider how technology has opened up the markets to new participants and discuss mechanisms to balance the interests of society and economy.

Timings:
08:00 – 09:15 (London)
16:00 – 17:15 (Singapore)

Panellists:

Michael Duignan
Senior Director, Enforcement
Securities and Futures Commission, Hong Kong

Jessica Morrison
CEO, Head of Execution Services APAC
Virtu Financial

Erik Norland
Senior Economist
CME Group

Ruenvadee Suwanmongkol
Secretary-General
The Securities and Commission Exchange, Thailand
