On July 9, 2024, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) launched new consultations on various aspects of the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR) Refit. The proposed rules focus on the information requirements for European CSDs, notifications by third-country CSDs, and the scope of settlement discipline. Key Points: - Review and Evaluation Process: Harmonization of information shared by EU CSDs on cross-border activities and risks to assist competent authorities in their overall assessments. - Third-Country CSDs: Streamlining information notifications to ESMA for accurate understanding of notary, central maintenance, and settlement services, while reducing the reporting burden. - Settlement Discipline: Clarifying the causes of settlement fails not attributable to transaction participants and defining operations not considered as trading. Objective: The CSDR Refit aims to fine-tune and further clarify the CSDR framework, enhancing the effectiveness of the regulation. Next Steps: - Consultation Deadline: ESMA invites responses from EU CSDs, third-country CSDs, CSD participants, and other stakeholders by 9 September 2024. - Post-Consultation: Responses will be assessed to finalize the proposals before submission to the European Commission in Q1 2025. Additional consultations on other aspects of CSDR will follow in the coming months.

It is also important to note that ESMA has stated that "settlement efficiency remains a top priority for ESMA", which is of course a common goal with CSDs and other industry players. The key element is to manage all issues with due proportionality.
📣 The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published today the report on the feedback received to its #CallForEvidence on shortening the settlement cycle. Respondents highlighted: ❗️Operational impacts of the reduction of the securities settlement cycle on the operations of market players. ‼️Wide range of both potential costs and benefits of a shortened cycle, with a support for a thorough impact assessment before deciding. Respondents provided suggestions around how and when a shorter settlement cycle could be achieved, with a strong demand for a clear signal from the regulatory front at the start of the work and clear coordination between regulators and the industry. On the international developments on settlement cycles and their impact on the Union’s capital market, stakeholders made clear the need for a proactive approach to adapt their own processes to the transition to T+1 in other jurisdictions.

What is CSDR? CSDR stands for Central Securities Depository Regulation, a European Union (EU) regulation that aims to harmonize the settlement and depositary landscape across the EU.

Mandatory dematerialization of securities. 2. Settlement discipline regime (including fines for Late Matching & Settlement Fails). 3. Central securities depositories (CSDs) oversight and regulation. 4. Improved investor protection and asset segregation. 5. Enhanced reporting and transparency requirements.

CSDR stands for Central Securities Depository Regulation, a regulation of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union that aims to improve the efficiency and safety of securities settlement in the EU. CSDR regulates the legal aspects of securities settlement, such as the book-entry form, the settlement periods, the settlement discipline, and the internalised settlement. CSDR also harmonises the requirements and supervision of all central securities depositories (CSDs) in the EU, such as the organisational, conduct of business, prudential, and third-country requirements. Some of the key aspects of CSDR are: - It introduces a settlement discipline regime that imposes measures to prevent and address settlement fails, such as trade matching, confirmation, allocation, penalties, and buy-ins. - It establishes a common authorisation and supervision framework for CSDs, which requires CSDs to obtain authorisation from their competent authorities and to comply with certain organisational, conduct of business, and prudential rules. - It enables CSDs to provide their services across the EU through a passport mechanism, which allows CSDs to offer their services in another member state without setting up a branch, subject to certain notification and cooperation procedures. - It sets out the conditions for CSDs from third countries to provide their services in the EU, which include recognition by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and equivalence decisions by the European Commission. CSDR is part of the EU's efforts to establish a single market for capital and to enhance the resilience of the financial system. CSDR is also aligned with the global standards and recommendations of the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) for financial market infrastructures . #CollateralManagement #CollateralGyan #CSDR
