merger of sifma europe and liba May 5, 2009
Posted by Bradley in : lobbying , trackbackSIFMA Europe and the LIBA have announced that they will merge “their London-based operations into a single independent European organisation”. Regional organizations will be linked through a Global Financial Markets Association:
Over recent years LIBA and SIFMA-Europe have increasingly worked closely together. LIBA’s primary expertise in successful policy and advocacy work complements SIFMA-Europe’s product-focused knowledge and activities. The merger is the next logical step toward a fully-integrated, efficient and cost-effective European operation.
As market and regulatory developments increasingly take place on an international stage, a global-facing organisation is the optimum structure to serve best members’ interests.
Rationalization and cost-savings seem to be drivers of the decision, though there will be a loss of whatever benefit comes from having comment letters jointly produced by two organizations.
