Technical and industry working groups

Teams in Payments and Market Infrastructure adopted to deliver a defined piece of work, each with a workplan, a supervisor and a clear end. A working group has no public authority beyond its workplan.

01In brief

The short answer.

A working group of Payments and Market Infrastructure is a team adopted to deliver one defined piece of work in the financial stability field, with terms of reference, a workplan, a supervisor and an end date. Candidate subjects come from the platform's topics, such as central counterparty risk. A working group holds no authority beyond its workplan, and its outputs are reviewed before publication.

From enquiry to contribution.

Canvas · from enquiry to contributionDesign, not a record
Technical and industry working groups: a working group from charter to sunsetA charter sets the question and the code of conduct; members join with declared interests; a workplan produces deliverables that are reviewed and credited; the group reports and sunsets or renews. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

People and exposure in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

For technical and industry working groups, in GRA's spatial-finance reading, the map opens on population density and night lights with night lights tonight from NASA GIBS, framed on the United Kingdom and Ireland; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

04How it works

Working groups in Payments and Market Infrastructure.

  • Each entry shows its scope, host or owner, and terms.
  • Participation follows published rules, applied equally.
  • Taking part gives no authority or influence over findings.
05Proposed deliverables

What a Payments and Market Infrastructure working group would produce.

  • An FMI site register template, built from public sources and reviewed before release on Payments and Market Infrastructure.
  • A node-failure simulation note, built from public sources and reviewed before release on Payments and Market Infrastructure.

A Payments and Market Infrastructure working group would have a workplan, a supervisor and an end date, and would draw on public disclosure analysis, simulation methods and review.
