Overview of principles and responsibilities

Principles for financial market infrastructures

General organisation

Principle 1: Legal basis

An FMI should have a well-founded, clear, transparent, and enforceable legal basis for each

aspect of its activities in all relevant jurisdictions.

Principle 2: Governance

An FMI should have governance arrangements that are clear and transparent, promote the

safety and efficiency of the FMI, and support the stability of the broader financial system,

other relevant public interest considerations, and the objectives of relevant stakeholders.

Principle 3: Framework for the comprehensive management of risks

An FMI should have a sound risk-management framework for comprehensively managing

legal, credit, liquidity, operational, and other risks.

Credit and liquidity risk management

Principle 4: Credit risk

An FMI should effectively measure, monitor, and manage its credit risk from participants and

from its payment, clearing, and settlement processes. An FMI should maintain sufficient

financial resources to cover its credit exposure to each participant fully with a high degree of

confidence. A CCP should also maintain additional financial resources to cover a wide range

of potential stress scenarios that should include, but not be limited to, the default of the [one/

two] participant[s] and [its/their] affiliates that would potentially cause the largest aggregate

credit exposure[s] in extreme but plausible market conditions.

Principle 5: Collateral

An FMI that requires collateral to manage its or its participants’ credit risk should accept

collateral with low credit, liquidity, and market risk. An FMI should also set and enforce

appropriately conservative haircuts and concentration limits.

Principle 6: Margin

A CCP should cover its credit exposures to its participants for all products through an

effective margin system that is risk-based and regularly reviewed.

Principle 7: Liquidity risk

An FMI should effectively measure, monitor, and manage its liquidity risk. An FMI should

maintain sufficient liquid resources to effect same-day and, where appropriate, intraday

settlement of payment obligations with a high degree of confidence under a wide range of

potential stress scenarios that should include, but not be limited to, the default of [one/two]

participant[s] and [its/their] affiliates that would generate the largest aggregate liquidity need

in extreme but plausible market conditions.

CPSS-IOSCO - Consultative report on Principles for financial market infrastructures - March 2011 1

Settlement

Principle 8: Settlement finality

An FMI should provide clear and certain final settlement, at a minimum, by the end of the

value date. Where necessary or preferable, an FMI should provide final settlement intraday

or in real time.

Principle 9: Money settlements

An FMI should conduct its money settlements in central bank money where practical and

available. If central bank money is not used, an FMI should minimise and strictly control the

credit and liquidity risk arising from the use of commercial bank money.

Principle 10: Physical deliveries

An FMI should clearly state its obligations with respect to the delivery of physical instruments

or commodities and should identify, monitor, and manage the risks associated with such

physical deliveries.

Central securities depositories and exchange-of-value settlement systems

Principle 11: Central securities depositories

A CSD should have appropriate rules and procedures to help ensure the integrity of

securities issues and minimise and manage the risks associated with the safekeeping and

transfer of securities. A CSD should maintain securities in an immobilised or dematerialised

form for their transfer by book entry.

Principle 12: Exchange-of-value settlement systems

If an FMI settles transactions that involve the settlement of two linked obligations (for

example, securities or foreign exchange transactions), it should eliminate principal risk by

conditioning the final settlement of one obligation upon the final settlement of the other.

Default management

Principle 13: Participant-default rules and procedures

An FMI should have effective and clearly defined rules and procedures to manage a

participant default that ensure that the FMI can take timely action to contain losses and

liquidity pressures, and continue to meet its obligations.

Principle 14: Segregation and portability

A CCP should have rules and procedures that enable the segregation and portability of

positions and collateral belonging to customers of a participant.

General business and operational risk management

Principle 15: General business risk

An FMI should identify, monitor, and manage its general business risk and hold sufficiently

liquid net assets funded by equity to cover potential general business losses so that it can

continue providing services as a going concern. This amount should at all times be sufficient

to ensure an orderly wind-down or reorganisation of the FMI’s critical operations and services

over an appropriate time period.

2 CPSS-IOSCO - Consultative report on Principles for financial market infrastructures - March 2011

Principle 16: Custody and investment risk

An FMI should safeguard its assets and minimise the risk of loss or delay in access to those

assets, including assets posted by its participants. An FMI’s investments should be in

instruments with minimal credit, market, and liquidity risks.

Principle 17: Operational risk

An FMI should identify all plausible sources of operational risk, both internal and external,

and minimise their impact through the deployment of appropriate systems, controls, and

procedures. Systems should ensure a high degree of security and operational reliability, and

have adequate, scalable capacity. Business continuity plans should aim for timely recovery

of operations and fulfilment of the FMI’s obligations, including in the event of a wide-scale

disruption.

Access

Principle 18: Access and participation requirements

An FMI should have objective, risk-based, and publicly disclosed criteria for participation,

which permit fair and open access.

Principle 19: Tiered participation arrangements

An FMI should, to the extent practicable, identify, understand, and manage the risks to it

arising from tiered participation arrangements.

Principle 20: FMI links

An FMI that establishes a link with one or more FMIs should identify, monitor, and manage

link-related risks.

Efficiency

Principle 21: Efficiency and effectiveness

An FMI should be efficient and effective in meeting the requirements of its participants and

the markets it serves.

Principle 22: Communication procedures and standards

An FMI should use or accommodate the relevant internationally accepted communication

procedures and standards in order to facilitate efficient recording, payment, clearing, and

settlement across systems.

Transparency

Principle 23: Disclosure of rules and procedures

An FMI should have clear and comprehensive rules and procedures and should provide

sufficient information to enable participants to have an accurate understanding of the risks

they incur by participating in the FMI. All relevant rules and key procedures should be

publicly disclosed.

Principle 24: Disclosure of market data

A TR should provide timely and accurate data to relevant authorities and the public in line

with their respective needs.

4 CPSS-IOSCO - Consultative report on Principles for financial market infrastructures - March 2011

Responsibilities of central banks, market regulators, and other relevant authorities for

financial market infrastructures

Responsibility A: Regulation, supervision, and oversight of FMIs

FMIs should be subject to appropriate and effective regulation, supervision, and oversight by

a central bank, market regulator, or other relevant authority.

Responsibility B: Regulatory, supervisory, and oversight powers and resources

Central banks, market regulators, and other relevant authorities should have the powers and

resources to carry out effectively their responsibilities in regulating, supervising, and

overseeing FMIs.

Responsibility C: Disclosure of objectives and policies with respect to FMIs

Central banks, market regulators, and other relevant authorities should clearly define and

disclose their regulatory, supervisory, and oversight policies with respect to FMIs.

Responsibility D: Application of principles for FMIs

Central banks, market regulators, and other relevant authorities should adopt, where

relevant, internationally accepted principles for FMIs and apply them consistently.

Responsibility E: Cooperation with other authorities

Central banks, market regulators, and other relevant authorities should cooperate with each

other, both domestically and internationally, as appropriate, in promoting the safety and

efficiency of FMIs.

1.0. Introduction

1.1. Financial market infrastructures (FMIs) that facilitate the recording, clearing, and

settlement of monetary and other financial transactions can strengthen the markets they

serve and play a critical role in fostering financial stability; however, if not properly managed,

they can pose significant risks to the financial system and be a potential source of contagion,

particularly in periods of market stress. While FMIs performed well during the recent financial

crisis, events highlighted important lessons for effective risk management. These lessons,

along with the experience of implementing the existing international standards, led the

Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and the Technical Committee of

the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) to review and update the

standards for FMIs.1

This review was also conducted in support of the Financial Stability

Board (FSB) initiative to strengthen core financial infrastructures and markets. All CPSS and

IOSCO members intend to apply the updated standards to the relevant FMIs in their

jurisdictions to the fullest extent possible.

1.2. The standards in this report harmonise and, where appropriate, strengthen the

existing international standards for payment systems that are systemically important, central

securities depositories (CSDs), securities settlement systems (SSSs), and central

counterparties (CCPs). The revised standards also incorporate additional guidance for over￾the-counter (OTC) derivatives CCPs and trade repositories (TRs). In general, these

standards are expressed as broad principles in recognition that FMIs can differ in

organisation, function, and design, and that there are often different ways to achieve a

particular result. In some cases, the principles also incorporate a specific minimum

requirement (such as in the credit, liquidity, and general business risk principles) to ensure a

common base-level of risk management across FMIs and countries. In addition to standards

for FMIs, the report outlines the general responsibilities of central banks, market regulators,

and relevant authorities for FMIs in implementing these standards.

Background

1.3. FMIs play a critical role in the financial system and the broader economy. For the

purposes of this report, an FMI refers to payment systems, CSDs, SSSs, CCPs, and TRs.2

These infrastructures facilitate the clearing and settlement of monetary and other financial

transactions, such as payments, securities, and derivative contracts (including derivatives

contracts for commodities). While safe and efficient FMIs contribute to maintaining and

promoting financial stability and economic growth, FMIs also concentrate risk. If not properly

managed, FMIs can also be sources of financial shocks, such as liquidity dislocations and

credit losses, or a major channel through which these shocks are transmitted across

domestic and international financial markets. To address these risks, the CPSS and the

Technical Committee of IOSCO have established, over the years, international risk￾management standards for payment systems that are systemically important, CSDs, SSSs,

and CCPs.

1

In this report, the term "standards" is used as a generic term to cover all normative statements such as

standards, principles, recommendations, and responsibilities. The use of this term is consistent with the past

practice of indicating that the principles and responsibilities set out in this report are, or are expected to be,

part of the body of international standards and codes recognised by the Financial Stability Board (formerly

called the Financial Stability Forum) and international financial institutions.

2

In general, the principles in this report are not addressed to other types of market infrastructures, such as

trading exchanges, trade execution facilities, or multilateral trade-compression systems; however, relevant

authorities may decide to apply some or all of these principles to them.

CPSS-IOSCO - Consultative report on Principles for financial market infrastructures - March 2011 5

1.4. The CPSS, in January 2001, published the Core principles for systemically

important payment systems (CPSIPS), which provided 10 principles for the safe and efficient

design and operation of systemically important payment systems. These principles drew

extensively from the Report of the Committee on Interbank Netting Schemes of the central

banks of the Group of Ten countries (also known as the Lamfalussy Report), which was

published in November 1990. The CPSIPS were followed by the Recommendations for

securities settlement systems (RSSS), which were published jointly by the CPSS and IOSCO

in November 2001. This report identified 19 recommendations for promoting the safety and

efficiency of SSSs.3

The accompanying Assessment methodology for 'Recommendations for

securities settlement systems' was subsequently published in November 2002. The CPSIPS

and RSSS have been included in the 12 Key Standards for Sound Financial Systems by the

FSB.

1.5. In November 2004, building upon the recommendations established in the RSSS,

the CPSS and the Technical Committee of IOSCO published the Recommendations for

central counterparties (RCCP). The RCCP provided 15 recommendations that addressed the

major types of risks that CCPs face. In January 2009, the CPSS and the Technical

Committee of IOSCO established a working group to provide guidance on the application of

these recommendations to CCPs that clear OTC derivative products and to develop a set of

considerations for TRs in designing and operating their systems. The reports of this working

group, Guidance on the application of 2004 CPSS-IOSCO recommendations for central

counterparties to OTC derivatives CCPs and Considerations for trade repositories in OTC

derivatives markets, were issued as consultative reports in May 2010. The feedback received

from the consultative process on these reports has been incorporated into this report.

1.6. In February 2010, the CPSS and the Technical Committee of IOSCO launched a

comprehensive review of the three existing sets of standards for FMIs –the CPSIPS, RSSS,

and RCCP– in support of the FSB’s broader efforts to strengthen financial systems by

ensuring that gaps in international standards are identified and addressed. The CPSS and

the Technical Committee of IOSCO also identified the review as an opportunity to harmonise

and reorganise the three sets of standards. The lessons from the recent financial crisis, the

experience of implementing the existing international standards, and recent policy and

analytical work by the CPSS, the Technical Committee of IOSCO, the Basel Committee on

Banking Supervision (BCBS), and others were incorporated into the review.4

This report,

containing a unified set of standards, is the result of that review. The standards in section 3

of this report replace the CPSIPS, RSSS, and RCCP standards insofar as they are directed

specifically to FMIs. Mappings of the new standards to the CPSIPS, RSSS, and RCCP

standards are provided in annexes A and B.

1.7. A full reconsideration of the marketwide recommendations from the RSSS was not

undertaken as part of this review. Those recommendations remain in effect. Specifically,

RSSS recommendation 2 on trade confirmation, RSSS recommendation 3 on settlement

cycles, RSSS recommendation 4 on central counterparties, RSSS recommendation 5 on

securities lending, RSSS recommendation 6 on central securities depositories, and RSSS

recommendation 12 on protection of customers’ securities remain in effect. These

recommendations are provided in annex C for reference. In addition to keeping RSSS

3

The definition of the term “securities settlement system” in the RSSS is the full set of institutional

arrangements for confirmation, clearance, and settlement of securities trades and safekeeping of securities.

This definition differs from the definition of SSS in this report, which is more narrowly defined (see paragraph

1.12).

Recent policy and analytical work include CPSS, Market structure developments in the clearing industry:

implications for financial stability, September 2010, and CPSS, Strengthening repo clearing and settlement

arrangements, September 2010.
