The European Association of CCP Clearing Houses published a profile interview with María José Gómez Yubero, Head of Resolution at Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), focusing on her professional development and her outlook for central counterparty (CCP) clearing over the next decade. Gómez Yubero argues that clearing will become even more central to financial stability while undergoing major technological and structural change, including shorter settlement cycles, a move towards continuous trading, greater automation, and the gradual integration of distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence, with potential medium-term applications of quantum computing. She highlights that these shifts may reallocate risks towards operational resilience, cybersecurity, liquidity management and governance, implying a need for crisis management and resolution frameworks to evolve. For Europe, she emphasises interoperability, coordinated supervision and strong institutional cooperation, and advocates a diversified but well-connected clearing ecosystem; her career advice stresses continuous learning, active listening, mentoring, teamwork and building confidence to take on new challenges.
