Update of the assessment of securities settlement systems
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank has updated the assessment of securities settlement systems (SSSs) eligible for the settlement of collateral for Eurosystem credit operations. SSSs are periodically assessed against the “Standards for the use of EU securities settlement systems in ESCB credit operations” published by the European Monetary Institute in 1998.
Since 1 July 2003 only securities issued and held in an SSS located in the euro area have been eligible for Eurosystem credit operations. Accordingly, 18 SSSs have been assessed this year. The overall level of compliance with the standards is high, and the SSSs have maintained their efforts to enhance compliance further.
The eligible SSSs and their settlement procedures are set out in the table below, which replaces the list published in a press release on 21 April 2005.
