    T2S: ARE FIRMS MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY? In the third article of our series on Post Trade blogs we explore if T2S is delivering on the European Commission’s goal in removing the barriers to growth in capital markets by increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Target2-Securities (T2S) has been fully operational for nearly two years With firms continually battling cost pressures and looking for more but not all the market is changing its behaviour to optimise the efficiency innovative and sustainable ways to deliver cost improvements, they now opportunities yet. have an opportunity to take stock of the impact of T2S on settlement performance, the cost of settlement (including capital, collateral and In December 2018, the European Central Bank (ECB) published the ECB liquidity) and how this is affected by upcoming regulatory change in the T2S Special Series One Year of Full Operation report outlining settlement form of CSDR (settlement discipline regime) and Basel IV/V (LCR). performance of its T2S securities settlement platform so far1. There is no doubt that harmonising settlement across multiple markets has led to greater settlement efficiency across all participating Eurozone markets (consistently achieving circa 97 percent settlement rate for each month of the first full year2). With CSDR due to implement the settlement disciplinary regime in 20203, this is good news for direct T2S users and their clearing and custody clients. However, the claim that settlement would be cheaper in a more harmonised settlement environment is yet to materialise as T2S and post-trade service fees have increased as the ECB, central securities depositories and post-trade service providers look to recover their initial investment costs and protect revenue streams.

  • CBF Release Information: T2-T2S Consolidation Project
    CBF Release Information: T2-T2S consolidation project Foreword Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt1 informs customers about the content of the release of the T2-T2S consolidation project of CBF. This release serves as a preparation for the T2-T2S consolidation of the Eurosystem and will deliver updates to the existing CBF functionality. The implementation for the enhancements to the CBF scope will be effective Monday, 23 November 2020 1. Introduction The T2-T2S consolidation project of the Eurosystem will align the TARGET2 and TARGET2-Securities (T2S) services and optimise the related processes. This will provide an effective facility for the provision of liquidity to existing and future Eurosystem payment and settlement services. Based on the information of the ECB the project will be implemented adopting a “big-bang approach”, that is, simultaneous discontinuation of the current TARGET2 Single Shared Platform, and the go-live implementation of the future T2 services. Implementation approach The introduction of CBF's functional scope items for the T2-T2S consolidation project is based on the following approach: • CBF plans an implementation that is almost independent of the T2-T2S consolidation project of the Eurosystem. • CBF‘s strategic approach is to migrate all current Central Bank Money (CeBM) services using the Ancillary Systems (AS) interface in TARGET2 to a T2S service by means of Payment Free of Delivery (PFoD) instructions. As all CeBM cash flows will be migrated out of TARGET2 ASI procedures latest by the T2-T2S consolidation project of the Eurosystem, CBF will cease to be an Ancillary System post consolidation. • CBF’s implementation is a staggered approach consisting of intermediate releases, that will go live before the Eurosystem’s T2-T2S consolidation project implementation.

The platform is operating smoothly and we are looking Marc Bayle de Jessé forward to the next wave of participants joining the platform on 12 September.

  • Use of T2S for Securities Settlement in Central Bank Money May 12 2021
    Dnr 2020-01330 Summary of responses to the consultation Use of T2S for securities settlement in central bank money May 12 2021 T2S and securities settlement in Swedish kronor in central bank money Summary of consultation responses The consultation In February 2021, the Riksbank published the consultation “Use of T2S for securities settlement in central bank money” which was focused on taking part of the market participants’ views on changes to how the Riksbank provides central bank money in Swedish kronor to its participants for the settlement of securities transactions.1 Participants in the Riksbank's system for large-value payments, RIX, and other stakeholders were invited to respond to the consultation and provide their organisation’s opinion on potential future changes in the area of securities and on future arrangements for securities settlement in central bank money in Swedish kronor. The Riksbank currently provides central bank money for securities settlement to only one central securities depository (CSD). But the conditions for securities settlement in Europe are changing and cross-border securities transactions are expected to increase over the next five to ten years. In the future, one, or several, additional CSDs might therefore request for access to central bank money in Swedish kronor for securities settlement. There is a need to examine how the Riksbank shall supply central bank money in Swedish kronor for securities settlement in the future and one option is via the Eurosystem’s technical platform for securities settlement, TARGET2-Securities (T2S). One part of the consultation is therefore focused on taking part of the opinions of the respondents on T2S and other alternatives for the provision of central bank money for securities settlement to more than one CSD.

  • ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA for Csds in T2S
    ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA for CSDs in T2S In the framework of the T2S Guideline, the T2S Programme Board was asked to define eligibility criteria for a CSD in T2S. These criteria have been extensively discussed with the market during the 2nd half of 2009. They are indispensable for: • ensuring that the legal and regulatory requirements to which CSDs in T2S are subject are sufficient to ensure that they do not pose a risk for other CSDs and their users (see criteria 1 and 2); • preventing free-riding behaviour in T2S, which would be to the detriment of other CSDs and of the European financial markets in general. (see criteria 3, 4 and 5); and • providing the Eurosystem with an minimum degree of confidence that the investment it makes on T2S will be recovered and it will therefore not have to subsidise T2S with public funds (see criterion 5). In this context, the Governing Council of the ECB has adopted five CSD eligibility criteria for T2S. The criteria are defined here at a level of the basic principles. The T2S Programme Board will need to further specify how the criteria are implemented. It will do so in the T2S Advisory Group in order to ensure the maximum transparency in the process. Each criterion is followed by its justification and in some instances explanatory guidelines on how they will be implemented. Meeting the criteria is a pre-condition for a CSD to join T2S and to remain in T2S. The T2S Programme Board will implement a continuous assessment of the criteria where non- fulfilment may lead to penalties to be specified contractually in the Framework Agreement between the Eurosystem and the participating CSDs.
