The Institute for Global Financial Integrity (TIGFI) is organising its 50th Finance Lunch event on Wednesday 18 January 2017 from 11:30 at the Cercle Munster in Luxembourg-Grund.
Graham Bishop, an independent consultant on EU Integration, will speak on "the impact of Brexit on the clearing and settlement of financial instruments in Europe".
Graham Bishop is an independent consultant on EU integration. His expertise spans political, financial, economic and budgetary matters. He is a member of the Committee of the Financial Services Negotiation Forum set up by both “Remainers” and “Leavers” in the City of London to help guide the UKs exit from the EU. He has been a member of many European Commission Expert Groups and Committees, including the Expert Group on Redemption Funds and Eurobills, the Consultative Group on the Impact of the Euro on Capital Markets (the Giovanni Group), the Commission’s Strategy Group on Financial Services (1998 – creating the Financial Services Action Plan) and the Committee of independent experts on the preparation of the changeover to the single currency (1994/5). For several years, Mr Bishop has been developing a proposal for a ‘Temporary Eurobill Fund’ which would change the euro area government debt market dramatically. The European Parliament nominated him as one of its two members of the first Inter-Institutional Monitoring Group. Mr Bishop has also worked as a Special Advisor to the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee and has given evidence in the House of Lords European Committee's update inquiry on the euro area.
