The European Association of CCP Clearing Houses published a career profile and Q&A with Viktoria Hackenberg, Vice-President Regulatory Affairs at Deutsche Börse Group and Vice-Chair of EACH’s Policy Committee, setting out her perspective on how central clearing may evolve over the next decade. Hackenberg argues that central counterparties will remain a core focus of regulatory initiatives aimed at preserving the stability and resilience built since the G20 post-crisis reforms, while demand for clearing is also being driven by its risk-reducing and economic benefits. She highlights a need to balance a robust regulatory framework with greater agility to meet market and technological developments, pointing to emerging risks including operational resilience and increased leverage among non-traditional market participants, and referencing a shift in Europe’s regulatory agenda toward growth and competitiveness. The profile also includes her career reflections and advice, including building confidence, learning from peers and mentors, and staying curious yet authentic.
