ESMA consults on guidelines for CCPs' interoperability arrangements

December 20, 2012--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a Consultation Paper on guidelines regarding the assessment of interoperability arrangements for central counterparty clearing (CCPs). The guidelines, which relate to the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), clarify the obligations for national regulators on how to assess existing or new interoperability arrangements between CCPs.

CCPs enter into such agreements to allow their users to execute trades with a counterparty that has chosen another CCP. From 2013, CCPs will have to obtain authorisation under EMIR in order to do business in the European Union (EU).

ESMA’s guidelines are aimed at providing a level-playing-field for CCPs in the EU by improving the rigour and uniformity of standards applied in the assessments of CCPs’ interoperability arrangements. The guidelines define what national regulators should look at in assessing those arrangements and the aspects of the interoperable arrangements CCPs will need to focus their attention on in order to have safe and sound agreements in place.

ESMA’s draft guidance focuses on the following issues related to interoperability arrangements:

IMF Working paper-Bank Debt in Europe "Are Funding Models Broken"

December 20, 2012--Summary: The crisis in Europe has underscored the vulnerability of European bank funding models compared to international peers.

This paper studies the drivers behind this fragility and examines the future of bank funding, primarily wholesale, in Europe. We argue that cyclical and structural factors have altered the structure, cost, and composition of funding for European banks. The paper discusses the consequences of shifting funding patterns and investor preferences and presents possible policy options and bank actions to enhance European bank funding models’ robustness.
