Rao said CCIL’s next phase of development will hinge on the use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve operational efficiency, strengthen decision-making and enhance system resilience. At the same time, market infrastructure institutions will need to contend with growing competition from fintech firms and innovations such as distributed ledger technologies, which are reshaping how financial services are delivered. “We should also be ready to handle disruptive innovations in a proactive and preactive manner. Even as we face these challenges, we must be ready to offer a wider bouquet of risk management products in the markets that we operate,” said Rao on Wednesday, at CCILs 25th anniversary event.
Against this backdrop, the CCIL is aiming to build a more adaptive and future-ready ecosystem, including reimagining trading platforms into unified workspaces that integrate trading, risk management, analytics and market data.
