Two years after the ESMA Common Supervisory Action on Valuation was launched, valuation and risk experts are reviewing the evolution of market practices. The panel will discuss what has changed and what is still work in progress. In light of more recent developments including IOSCO and national supervisors’ efforts, the panellists will assess whether valuation of financial and real assets is still a topic. Against this background, key items for attention and action are identified on both sides of the coin: methodologies and governance.
