Richard Raeburn, the EACT Chairman, appeared on Reuters Insider TV on Wednesday 28th July to discuss EU Derivatives Regulation. Richard comments on, amongst other related topics, the progress of the regulation proposals during the past 12 months, the relationship between corporates using derivatives and systemic risk, and why the EU's proposals for the application of thresholds could be considered a misguided concept in regards to tackling that systemic risk.

With world financial markets in turmoil and the economic prospects of many European countries looking weak this is a vital and challenging time for all involved with the treasury profession.  Against this background, as Chairman of the EACT I will continue to seek to provide a unifying focus for issues that, on a European level, affect how the members of the national associations can operate. 

Through our website we endeavor to provide useful informative about the EACT and provide a conduit for visitors to access the websites of the individual treasury associations making up the EACT.
