  3. Oversight general Oversight is a task of a central bank aiming: • tocontribute to the reduction of systemic risks by performing oversight on clearing and settlement systems • to promote the adequate functioning of the payment system by performing oversight on the payment chain/infrastructure

  4. Systemic risk (general) Systemic risk • Systemic risk is the risk that propagation of a serious failure in a sector of the society will imperil other sectors (a ‘domino’ effect). The infection is propagated via the interfaces between the sectors

  5. Systemic risk In case propagation leads to a effect a systemic risk has occurred

  6. Oversight and Supervision • The objective of Supervision is to assess the (financial) health of an individual financial institution • Oversight has its focus on the chain/infrastructure, with specific attention for the security and continuity of the payment infrastructure (payment systems, payment products etc.) • Oversight assesses against (national or international accepted) oversight standards • Oversight can be legally or not legally (moral suasion) based

  7. Oversight in NL (general) Objects of oversight • Payment clearing and settlement systems • Whole sale (DNB: TOP / TARGET, CLS) • Retail (Equens: CSS) (UPSS: UPSS system) • Securities settlement systems • Clearing and settlement systems of Euroclear and LCH.Clearnet (systems used by Euronext) • Retail Paymentchain • Paymentproducts • Otherroles (excl. clearingandsettlement)

  8. Oversight in NL (general) Organization at DNB • Oversight and operations organisational located within the same division • Multidisciplinary staff (11, including head of department): lawyers, risk management experts, (IT) auditors, economists

  9. Oversight in NL (general) Approach / tools (1) • Determination of objects • Prioritisation / risk analyses • Assessments • Monitoring / continuous oversight • Oversight standards / frameworks

  10. Oversight in NL (general) Approach / tools (2) • Authority to set up minimum standards for the objects of oversight (oversight framework) • Assessment of a system, product or a role • prior approval for system or product to ensure adherence to the Oversight Framework • periodical reports on key elements for regular examination

  11. Oversight in NL (general) Approach / tools (3) • Payments become more and more international. Securities are international consequences: • International co-operation with other NCB's, ECB, BIS, CPSS/IOSCO, ESCB CESR • Oversight on Target arranged within ESCB • For other systems a common oversight approach is still missing so case by case MoU’s are drafted/amended

  12. Oversight standards • By using standards the level of playing field is guaranteed Wholesale • Core principles for systemically important payments systems (SIPS)(BIS, January 2001) • Terms of Reference (ToR) for the assessment of Large Value Payment Systems (LVPS)(ECB) • standards and best practices (ROC of DNB, agreements in context of NVB and ESCB) • technical standards (ISO, ECBS, NVB,...)

  13. Oversight on securities • Trade (Authority Financial Markets (AFM)) • Euronext • Clearing (DNB/AFM) • LCH.Clearnet • Settlement (DNB/AFM) • Euroclear • DNB / TOP (DVP-settlement)

  14. Oversight standards Securities • SSSs CPSS/IOSCO Recommendations • CCPsCPSS/IOSCO Recommendations • Oversight Framework CSE (Dutch)

  15. Trends / developments Consolidation / concentration • European consolidation underway • TARGET2 • Single European Payment Area (SEPA) • EuroNext (mergers) • Euroclear (CSD acquisitions) • EC legal initiatives: • Payment Service Directive • Code of Conduct

  16. Trends / developments Specialisation • multiple operators/owners: card schemes, transaction networks, imaging and clearing • new providers of payment products/ payments services • telecom providers • network providers • public transport • non bank ATM’s • acceptant payment service providers

  17. Trends / developments Implications • Few critical systems (operators) will remain • Retail area with local, fragmented functions • Increasing (need for) cooperation between providers (scaling-up, new markets) • Cross-border oversight will become standard

  18. Trends / developments Consequences • Standardisation increasingly important • Increasing (need for) co-operation between overseers (criteria, standards, approach) • Legal and oversight frameworks need to be harmonised (MoU’s) • Increasing (need for) co-operation with other regulators (e.g. supervisors, securities regulators, etc.)

  19. Trends / developments Overseer needs to find balance • Security – efficiency • National – international • Supplier – consumer • Regulation – market
