Cross-border FX settlement is entering a decisive new phase. As digital money, new settlement models, and emerging infrastructures reshape the global financial system, central banks are moving from theory to practical engagement - domestically, bilaterally, and multilaterally.
This panel brings together leading central banks to explore how the future market structure for cross-border FX PvP settlement is being shaped in practice. The discussion will examine key design choices: decentralised versus centralised orchestration, bilateral interoperability versus federated protocols, and how to move from experimentation to production without creating new fragmentation.
Join the conversation to hear how central banks and progressive market participants are modelling, testing, and guiding the next generation of safe, interoperable, and scalable cross-border FX settlement.
