Concerns around data fields remain for 网爆吃瓜 Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) compliance, according to a panel at SLT鈥檚 网爆吃瓜 Finance Technology Symposium.
The panel, which featured six industry experts, explained that currently, around 40 percent of fields are not currently readily available.
One panellist explained that customers are currently doing a gap analysis and becoming worried about those fields.
However, the panellist said: 鈥淚 know the industry is working to establish those fields and that the International 网爆吃瓜 Lending Association is also doing a lot of work on that.鈥�
There was also a lot of discussion around the technology implications of SFTR. The panel debated whether a buy or build solution is best for clients.
A panellist explained that it can depend on a number of factors, one being the amount of data fields the firm currently has in its system. He explained that people need to consider how data is going to be extracted, and if you do delegate there still needs to be a reporting solution in place.
One panellist noted that 80 percent of his company鈥檚 clients are using an intermediary as part of SFTR.
However, another panellist suggested that companies can use existing systems from other regulations such as European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).
Another panellist advised firms to 鈥渟pend wisely鈥� whether a firm decides to build or buy.
He said: 鈥淵ou can overcome a lot of complexity if you鈥檙e careful with what you build and what you buy. Also, choosing the right company to deal with is critical to get right. There is an incentive to spend wisely.鈥�
