Money market contact group (MMCG)

The MMCG is a forum for interaction between the ECB and industry-wide market professionals involved in the money markets. The objective of the MMCG is to discuss developments in money markets and share ideas and experiences on the structure and the functioning of the money markets.

Members and composition

The MMCG is composed of representatives of the ECB as well as different commercial banks from all over Europe with a prominent role in the euro area money market.
