ICMA’s Market Practices Committee (MPC) has two key areas of responsibility:

• to ensure that, at all times, ICMA’s rules and recommendations properly reflect the requirements of the international capital market as a whole; and
• to provide guidance to member firms where, for instance, a firm is unsure of the interpretation of an ICMA rule in a given situation.

The MPC has a number of sub-committees, namely the ICMA Primary Market Practices Committee, the ICMA Secondary Market Practices Committee, the ICMA Legal and Documentation Committee and the ICMA Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) Committee.

The current composition of the ICMA Market Practices Committee is as follows:

Kate Craven
Barclays Capital Securities Limited

Martin Egan
BNP Paribas

Robert Gray
HSBC Bank plc

Philippe Rakotovao
Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank
