    Practitioners Creating Pan-European Payment Infrastructures Left: Jet engine Right: Kölnbrein Dam in Kärnten, Austria Front cover: View from the Place de la Concorde to the Roue de Paris Infrastructure systems come in all shapes and sizes. But when you look at them from different perspectives – zoom in on some of their components or take in the visible marks they imprint on the landscape –, you can see a lot of structural similarities. The endeavour to fi nd the most effi cient and effective approach, which is at the core of each thriving infrastructure development, seems to result in strikingly similar-looking characteristics for otherwise totally different solutions. This is very much in line with Leo Tolstoy’s famous observation, which has long since been turned into a principle to explain the success of well-functioning systems: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” In this document, as in our previous reports, we give visibility to the rich and diverse user input and multiple exchanges driving our agenda and shaping our services. It is our vibrant user community that, through its commitment and its contributions, creates, in Tolstoy‘s words, a “happy family“ and is certainly at the heart of the Company‘s success. 6 The Company’s Mission and Strategic Aims 8 Chairman’s Statement 12 CEO’s Statement 86 APPENDICES 88 Appendix 1: List of EBA CLEARING Shareholders 89 Appendix 2: List of Participants COMPANY’S ACTIVITIES in EURO1/STEP1 16 IN 2019 AND OUTLOOK FOR 2020 92 Appendix 3: List of Participants

    Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (V9)

    Economic Stabilization Advisory Group | October 2, 2009 Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (v9) The measures that Governments have taken to protect the financial sector have settled down to a large extent. We have, however, decided to publish a further update on the measures following a renewed interest in developments and the recent G20 Summit. This memorandum summarizes the measures Governments across the world have taken to protect the financial sector and prevent a recession. The measures fall into the following categories: guarantees of bank liabilities; retail deposit guarantees; central bank assistance measures; bank recapitalization through equity investments by private investors and Governments; and open-market or negotiated acquisitions of illiquid or otherwise undesirable assets from weakened financial institutions. The purpose of this publication is to provide an overview of the principal measures that have been taken in the major financial jurisdictions to support the financial system. The first version of this note was published on November 12, 2008. Since then, Governments in some jurisdictions have adopted further measures or amended measures previously adopted. The current version of the note takes into account those measures and is based on information available to us on September 30, 2009.

Introduction 2013 was marked by the major changeover that the SEPA migration end-date for euro retail payments of 1st February 2014 represented for payment service providers in the Eurozone and their customers. SEPA migration-related activities were also the top priority for EBA CLEARING throughout 2013. The Company continued to strengthen and enhance the STEP2 platform and intensified its customer support activities to assist its users across Europe in ensuring a disruption-free changeover to the SEPA instruments for their customers. SEPA migration affirmed the position of the STEP2 platform among the leading retail payment systems in Europe. The timely delivery of its SEPA Services as well as the processing capacity, operational robustness and rich functionality of the system made STEP2 the platform of first choice of many European communities in preparation of and during this migration.

Context and challenges Once relegated to the back-office, payments have become strategically significant. They are the lifeblood of the European economy. In its Communication from December 2018, the Commission supported “a fully integrated instant payment system in the EU, to reduce the risks and the vulnerabilities in retail payment systems and to increase the autonomy of existing payment solutions.”1 As highlighted in the digital finance strategy, adopted alongside this Communication, digital innovation is radically reshaping the provision of financial services.
