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.

Chair

Deputy Director General Market Operations of the ECB

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.

The composition of the group is reviewed at the end of the calendar year. Money market participants are welcome to express their interest in joining the Contact Group by submitting the application form and relevant documentation to the MMCG Secretariat at the latest by end November. To further enhance the diversity of our contact group, we particularly encourage institutions to nominate female representatives.
