The exchange industry after Lehman

 
Mid-September 2008 marked a break in capital markets structure and functioning. 
What happened at Lehman that can guide exchanges’ planning? How has the legal environment changed for key capital markets actors, including exchanges?
Lehman and Bear Stearns are gone, investment banks have evolved into bank holding companies, their proprietary account business possibilities are greatly diminished, and massive amounts of capital have been destroyed … Who are our clients these days, what do they need, and how do we get more of them?

Relocating economic metrics in 2009
 
IOMA should take the measure of transformed economies with a macroeconomic overview of the effects of deleveraging and wealth destruction. One aspect is that our most basic measures of value, our currencies, have been subjected to massive stresses since IOMA met one year ago. Different governmental responses to the post-August 2007 financial crisis have underscored divergent philosophies of how to maintain fiat money as a store of value as well as a source of growth.
