British Council Education Fair 2013, Athens, Greece

The privatisation of Royal Mail has made headlines in recent days as the stock price rose to 479.50p on the first day of full trading on the stock exchange.

We are very proud of four of our ICMA Centre undergraduates who were honoured at this annual celebration hosted by the Chancellor, Sir John Madejski.

Senior Visiting Fellow at the ICMA Centre, Richard Comotto, will be speaking at the upcoming conference organised by the ICMA European Repo Council, titled "A collateralised future - what really happened in the repo market during the crisis and how will it cope with growing collateral demand, stagnant supply and regulatory uncertainty?". Richard Comotto will be a panellist in a workshop session titled: Is repo an unstable source of funding? The issues of procyclicality of leverage, interconnectedness, asset encumbrance, collateral re-use and fire sales.
