• How do we prevent a situation where participants are not overfunding and have a system where this is managed on an ongoing basis?
• What are the potential additional impacts on back office processes within a bank I.e. sanctions, AML, liquidity for entering the instant market? How are these challenges overcome?
• Target2 is limited only to credit institutions, can we see the logic in this or would a more liberal approach like the bank of England has to regulated entities be preferable?
• In Form3 terms would this be classed as a direct non-settling participant model?
• What does the landscape look like globally for appetite to migrate to faster payments?
• What are the existing payment processes and how do you see SADC starting to interact with other instant initiatives globally?
