Following engagement with the major stakeholders, and FINBOURNE’s own Design Council, Neil Ryan, FINBOURNE’s CTP Lead, explores the hurdles both the UK and EU authorities face, as they move towards a Consolidated Tape or Tapes (CT). From data quality to deferrals, we explain why market practice – in parallel to legislation – provides the optimal path forward, to the creation of a resilient market mechanism.

In our recent views shared on Consolidated Tape (‘CT’), the issue of data quality was highlighted as central to the CT debate. Some may argue it is even hampering the development of a Consolidated Tape Provider (CTP) in the UK and the EU.

Following on from our last insight on Consolidated Tape (CT) and the launch of our Design Council, we explore why the technology that underpins the CT, is key to ensuring that it is fit for purpose, no matter what the decided approach.

Neil Ryan, Regulatory Consultant at FINBOURNE Technology, explores the renewed drive for a Consolidated Tape (‘CT’) and why FINBOURNE’s Design Council will provide a vocal platform to promote and develop the conversation in both the UK and the EU.
