GPS Press Autumn Edition 2025

From the T+1 countdown to DORA, this edition is about execution and impact. We cut through Europe’s move to T+1 - the EU roadmap and the realities of a fragmented, multicurrency market - and show how RBI’s Direct Access can turn speed into client advantage. We translate DORA into clear actions across ICT risk, incident response, and third‑party oversight, and introduce the new SSI Finder in Global Investor Gate to make settlement faster and cleaner. You’ll also see what Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome delivered, as Raiffeisen accelerates "Rebuild with Ukraine" initiative. Rounding out the issue: GPS on the road from TNF Madrid to SIBOS 2025 Frankfurt, and a human spotlight on Etienne Van de Moortele.
