ICMA European Repo Council paper explores official concerns about "shadow banking" and repo

March 20, 2012--ICMA’s European Repo Council (ERC) has today published a paper entitled: 'Shadow banking and repo' which explores concerns raised by regulators about 'shadow banking', particularly in the context of the European repo market.

The paper, written by Richard Comotto of the ICMA Centre, is intended to inform the ‘securities lending and repo’ workstream set up by the Financial Stability Board within its shadow banking project and the European Commission’s own deliberations discussed in yesterday’s green paper.

Godfried De Vidts, Chair of ICMA’s European Repo Council said: “Comotto’s paper frames a number of technical issues in a way which allows properly informed consideration of regulatory concerns. We should not lose sight of the fact that repo is a legitimate funding tool used by regulated banks and financial institutions and an instrument of financial policy for central banks. On the transparency issue the ICMA ERC already collects data on the size and structure of the market though its long established survey. A new survey of haircuts in the European repo market will add to the understanding of the functioning of repo in difficult market conditions.”
