Legal and procedural aspects
Procedural aspects governing a repurchase agreement with the NCB and legal documentation used (if applicable) The Central Bank of Malta (CBM) allows for repurchase agreements (based on an earmarking system) in cross-border collateral in case of Irish securities, securities held with the Finnish Central Securities Depository (FCSD) and securities held with Euroclear France.
This procedural aspect is governed by the Central Bank of Malta Directive No.8 on the Documentation on Monetary Policy Instruments and Procedures (direct link: http://www.centralbankmalta.com/updates/Downloads/pdfs/directive8.pdf)
Procedural aspects governing a pledge towards the NCB and legal documentation used (if applicable) The CBM applies the pledge/pool system for cross-border collateral except in the cases mentioned above. The pledge/pool system is also governed by the Central Bank of Malta Directive No.8 on the Documentation on Monetary Policy Instruments and Procedures.
Specific procedures governing non-marketable assets The procedures governing non-marketable assets in the cross-border context are governed by the Terms and Conditions of Central Bank of Malta when acting as CCB and as Assisting ACB for Credit Claims
(direct link: http://www.centralbankmalta.com/updates/Downloads/pdfs/op_legal_aspects.pdf). Moreover the Central Bank of Malta Directive No.8 on the Documentation on Monetary Policy Instruments and Procedures also specifies the procedures for the use of foreign credit claims as collateral.
