Life cycle of securities transactions • Transactions (by a telephone call or system) • Entry in a system (buy or sell) • Validation • Authentication & authorisation • Matching & confirmation • Clearing • Money settlement (usually t+3) • Securities settlement (usually t+3) • Custody (corporate actions)

Risks Credit risk: The risk of loss from default by a participant, as a consequence of its insolvency Replacement cost risk Principal risk
Risks Principal risk • Risk that full value of securities or funds will be lost when either the seller or buyer fails to settle • Can be eliminated by Delivery versus Payment
Securitiescash 2 ^2 CSD NCB A B A B ^3 3 ^ 1 1 Bank A Bank B Sell Order Buy Order Delivery versus Payment (DvP) DvP
DvP in practice • Sell/buy transaction • The CSD blocks the securities in the account of the seller, followed by sending a payment instruction to the NCB • The central bank transfers the funds from the buyer’s to the seller’s account and sends a confirmation to the CSD • The CSD move the securities from the seller’s to the buyer’s account
Risks Risk of failure of a settlement bank • Failure of bank providing cash accounts for payments • Impact particularly severe if all CSDs use the same • Approaches to control: use of the central bank money, limited purpose bank
Risks Systemic risk • Failure of one institution could cause other institutions to fail • Liquidity and credit problems may disrupt financial markets • Liquidity is dependent on confidence in reliability of SSS • Oversight function central bank
European developments • Lisbon agenda 2000: European economy has to become stronger to compete with the USA and Japan/China • Shortage: there is no integrated European financial market • European Union has identified 15 barriers for integration (Giovannini 2001) • Technical, market practices (10) • Legal and fiscal barriers (5)
Inefficiencies European market Huge difference in costs of securities transactions: • Domestic costs vary within the EU • In average higher than in the USA • EU cross-border costs are much higher than domestic costs in the USA

Integration & consolidation Financial integration for all market participants: • Equal access • Uniformal set of rules • Treatment in an equal way Consolidation means a less number of service providers
Vertical integration Deutsche Börse Eurex Clearing Clearstream Integration models in Europe Horizontal integration Euroclear (ICSD) CIK (BE) Sicovam (FR) Euroclear (NL) Crest (UK) CBISSO (IE) Euroclear
Dynamics in the securities market • Market integration, level playing field and harmonisation • Consolidation of exchanges and SSSs in the market goes full speed on • Markets in Financial Instruments Directive • Code of Conduct for Clearing and Settlement • CESAME Group to lift technical, market practices Giovannini barriers • Internalisation: huge banks settle transactions internally
Risks Replacement cost risk • Risk of loss of unrealised gains • Due to price changes between trade and settlement • Exposure depends on price validility and time gap between trade settlement (e.i. t+3)
Risks Liquidity risk • Risk that counterparty will not settle an obligation when due • Costs depend on degree of liquidity • Potential to create systemic problems
Risks Custody risk • Risks that securities are not adequately protected by the custodians • Either full loss or temporary inability to transfer securities • Segregation of accounts
Risks Operational risk • Due to deficiencies in systems and controls, human error or management failure Legal risk • Due to uncertain legal rules (unenforceability of contracts, bankruptcy laws, delay in recovering funds or securities)
TARGET2 Securities • An integrated platform of the Eurosystem for the DVP settlement of securities transactions in central bank money within the euro area
Why? The current initiatives: Deutsch Börse Gruppe T2S: a workable solution for DVP cross-border settlement of securities within central bank money Euroclear Group APK Euroclear NL NTMA Euroclear BE Clearstream FFM NBB Clearing Clearstream Lux OeKB Euroclear FR Monte Titoli SCL Bilbao BOGS SCL Barcelona Interbolsa Iberclear CSD SA Siteme SCL Valencia
Why? • The model can offer advantages in terms of efficiency and cost-cutting, provided that a critical mass of CSDs actually joins and the system can be developed at reasonable cost. • It would benefit financial stability
CSD Custodian bank or ICSD central bank money Investor Investor bank Background: Essential concepts T2S concerns only settlement in central bank money commercial bank money

How? • The CSDs outsource the administration of securities accounts to the Eurosystem, which then manages the securities and associated cash accounts on the platform. • At the end of the day the money goes back into the TARGET2 payment system, and the securities return to the CSDs • Only securities settlement, CSDs keep the custody and notary functions • Based on DVP

Potential obstacles • Dependence on the decision of the CSDs to participate (voluntary) • Concentration of risk, monopolisation of settlement • Prerequisite of the project: harmonisation of legal structures and operating rules • Removal Giovannini barriers, especially • Barriers 4, 6 and 7: T2S may ensure common operating hours and finality rules for domestic and cross border transactions
TARGET2 Securities • TARGET2 Securities is a workable solution for the long term • Market consultation and user requirements is going on • Governing Council of the ECB will take a decision on the implementation of T2S in March 2008
CCBM2 • Currently, banks hold collateral at several locations, it is exchanged through the Correspondent Central Bank Model • CCBM2 is a common platform for central banks that integrates both domestic and cross-border collateral management
