Principles Written for Systemic Importance
Compliance in Italy means mastering two layers at once. The CPMI-IOSCO Principles govern FMIs directly, covering governance, credit and liquidity risk, settlement finality, and default management, with published self-assessments authorities read closely. Beneath it, Borsa Italiana anchors Milan’s markets under CONSOB conduct supervision, with market abuse enforcement among CONSOB’s visible priorities.
DORA’s resilience obligations bite hardest on infrastructure, and recovery planning now sits alongside daily compliance as a live expectation. In a market shaped by a triple-supervisor structure amid ongoing consolidation, Banca d’Italia has little patience for arrangements imported unchanged from elsewhere. Oversight findings at FMIs echo across every connected participant. Our consultants build compliance for Italy specifically.
