Host Tessa Norman is joined by Andrew Douglas, Chair of the UK Accelerated Settlement Taskforce, and Menicos Kouvaros, PwC Partner, to discuss the topic of T+1 settlement reform and the journey to go-live in October 2027.

With both UK and EU T+1 transition timings now confirmed, our expert guests reflect on the lessons from the North American experience and how these should inform firms’ preparations for the UK’s move to T+1.

We also share views on UK and EU coordination efforts, reflecting on the complexities of transitioning in both markets.
