Payment systems and market infrastructure

Infrastructure for OTC derivatives

On 16 July 2009 the Governing Council reviewed the progress made towards strengthening the infrastructure for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. It recognised the usefulness of private and public sector initiatives to enhance harmonisation, transparency and risk management in the field of credit derivatives. The Governing Council considered that this work should be continued and eventually extended to other asset classes. It welcomed, in particular, the progress that has been made towards the introduction of central counterparty (CCP) clearing facilities for OTC credit derivatives. In line with its decision of 18 December 2008 and its earlier statement of September 2001 on CCP clearing, and given the systemic importance of securities clearing and settlement systems, the Governing Council confirmed the importance of having at least one CCP clearing facility for OTC credit derivates located within the euro area. In this context, particular priority will be given to the use of euro area infrastructures for clearing credit default swaps denominated in euro, which will be closely monitored by the Eurosystem in the coming months.
