GRA · Capital Markets Nexus
Spatial financeWhere capital meets hazard, exposure and transition
Research and industry programmes
Capital Markets Consortium programmes follow where markets are governed: IOSCO and CPMI standards globally, regional market structure and settlement reforms, and national exchanges, debt markets and post-trade infrastructure. Evidence owners and decision holders differ at each level, and the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is never one of them.

Capital Markets Nexus · Programme board. Programme board: example names and illustrative values, not a record.
Three levels of work.
What each level examines.
| Level | Questions | Evidence owners |
|---|---|---|
| Global | Infrastructure resilience, margin practice, nonbank leverage, sustainability disclosure for issuers | IOSCO, CPMI, FSB, ISSB |
| Regional | Settlement-cycle changes, clearing structure, regional disclosure regimes and capital market integration | Regional securities authorities |
| National | Depth of local-currency bond markets, exchange and depository continuity, issuer physical exposure | Securities regulators, central banks, exchanges and depositories |

Process
Research and industry programmes: Policy question to decision
A priority becomes a question, evidence, a decision case and a limited publication; the competent authority decides, never the programme.
01 Question
- 01A priority becomes a questionStep · Universe; national counterpartsA priority becomes a researchable question with stated criteria. National counterparts own the agenda, data and decisions.
- 03Scientific and stakeholder challengeStep · the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI); the Global Risks Forum (GRF)Scientific and affected-stakeholder challenge informs mission selection and methods.
02 Evidence and options
- 04Assemble the evidenceStep · GCRIMethods, labelled data and uncertainty are assembled. Every finding carries one of nine evidence labels.
- 06Decision case with optionsRecord · The decision owner named in the caseA decision case binds owner, alternatives, evidence and deadline. It needs sensitivity and robustness.
03 Review and publication
- 07G6 · Publication authorisedGate · The Global Risks ForumGRF authorises publication of results that have passed scientific and editorial review. It cannot publish personal data.
- 08Publish with method, uncertainty and limitsRecord · ReportsFindings are published with their method, uncertainty and limits. An edition is published after review, not to a calendar.
04 Outside the programme
- 02Competent authority decidesDecision · The competent authorityThe authority or institution decides under its own rules. The authority decides; the programme informs.
- 05Action and implementation stay with the ownersActor · The relevant government, operator or licensed institutionDecisions and execution stay with the relevant government, operator or licensed institution. The programme records one only if shared.
05 Learning
- 09Corrections and lessons feed the next agendaStep · UniverseCorrections and lessons feed the next annual agenda. The findings of one year set the mandate of the next.
The Nexus cycle · Decision rights · The programme yearDesigned programme process, not a record of operation. No cycle has run and every programme is at service level R0. A gate is a programme decision, never a public-authority approval, certification or deployment authorisation.
With an owner’s question.
Work starts when a securities regulator, central bank, debt office or national consortium brings a question it owns, such as how a cyclone season would affect its exchange’s continuity and its sovereign bond market. Capital Markets Nexus frames evidence; the project owner decides. See country readiness contexts.
Every programme shows where it stands.
A programme is shown as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived, according to its record. A plan is never presented as an activity.

How does a country take part?
Bring an exposure or capital question to the Alliance.
Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
