Eurex Clearing Readiness Newsflash | Eurex Clearing Information on C7 SCS and Collateral Mobility Project of GC Pooling migration

Dear Client,

With this Newsflash, Eurex Clearing informs its Clearing Members and ISA Direct Clearing Members (“Clearing Members”) of certain settlement delays affecting GC Pooling Repo Transactions. 

After the technical migration of GC Pooling to Clearstream Banking SA’s (Luxembourg) (“Clearstream”) CmaX system, settlement delays are observed.

Reference is made to Clearstream’s as well as Eurex Repo GmbH’s client communication.

Based on information available to Eurex Clearing, Eurex Clearing cannot exclude that similar settlement delays may continue to exist in the next days while Clearstream and Eurex Clearing analyze and resolve the delays. Eurex Clearing customers should take these delays into account with regard to their GC Pooling activities in the next days. 

In this context, Eurex Clearing reminds all Clearing Members to meet the defined target settlement time (for EUR transactions other than overnight transactions 10:45 a.m. Frankfurt time and to ensure that their internal processes comply with the rules as specified in Clearing Conditions Chapter IV, Part 2.2, (d).

Clearing Members must provide timely funding to their cash and security accounts as outlined below: 

  • The T2S DCA account needs to be funded for all ECB, ECB EXT and Equity basket trades against EUR within the funding requirement of Eurex Clearing; and
  • The CBL DCA account needs to be funded for all other trades, equally within the funding requirement of Eurex Clearing.

For all other collaterals as well as for the obligation to provide cash, the Target Settlement Times for GC Pooling Repo Transactions apply which is 10:45 a.m. Frankfurt time for repo transactions settled in Euro (other than overnight transactions) and 3:00 p.m. Frankfurt time for repo transactions settled in USD. 

We would like to ask all market participants to review their operational and/or treasury processes for funding of their cash and securities accounts to support efficient settlement.
