General framework
Market infrastructures: critical component of operational efficiency of markets
Focus on one of the components of financial infrastructure: CSDs as « organic links » between issuers and investors

1. CSDs functions within a domestic area: post-market stabilisation
CSDs : a « double-sided market » with: A link to the issuer A link to investors

CSDs functions within a domestic area: post-market stabilisation
CSDs as « notaries » for securities: Keep record of the securities issued in the
country where they operate; Testify to the authenticity and the existence
of outstanding securities CSDs as a « securities carrier »:
Operate one or several SSSs and ensure the circulation of securities within the market
Ensure the traceability of securities flow in a dematerialized environment

CSDs functions within a domestic area: post market stabilisation
Central Banks Hold central
accounts of commercial banks
Operate the interbank systems and notably the RTGS
CSDs Hold central
accounts of custodians
Operate the SSS

CSDs functions within a domestic area: post market stabilisation
A central and ultimate custodian for issuers and investors
A central hub for securities flows For issuers & for investors For market users, banks and investment firms…but…
…not a « Central Bank for securities » ! CSDs are not securities issuers CSDs do not certify the stability of securities CSDs are not « lender of last resort »

CSDs functions within a domestic area: post market stabilisation
CSDs and SSSs: important features of a « financial territory »
Like payment systems, SSSs constitute a tool for the operational efficiency of markets i.e.create the conditions of relationships between issuers and investors with conditions of: security rapidity cost
![Page 12: The impact of the creation of CSDs in CEECs. Implications for Armenia. Karine THEMEJIAN (ECB) Dominique CHABERT (University Lyon 2 / GATE UMR 5824 – CNRS)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514981c550346f06e8b55dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CSDs functions within a domestic area: post market stabilisation
SSSs cannot be reduced to their technical components. They represent a critical element of the issuance and circulation of property rights.
CSDs as « post-market » centralized actors are not only « back-office » actors.

International standards and recommendations for SSSs (1/3)
International initiatives Private sector level: G30, FIBV, ISSA Public sector level: CPSS and IOSCO with
notably Recommendations for SSSs (2001) risk-based approach covers all countries
But, need to take into account specificities linked to the particular context within a country

International standards and recommendations for SSSs (2/3)
At the European level Standards for securities clearing and
settlement in the European Union Developed by the ESCB in cooperation with CESR Consists in Europeanisation of CPSS-IOSCO

Criteria for assessment: Guadamillas and Keppler (2001) Level of consolidation of the post-trading
infrastructure, enabling to reap benefits of Economies of scale Economies of scope Network effects

2004) 2 Accession countries

The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
Level of consolidation: progresses achieved at varying degrees. 3 main situations: Single CSD acting as central register, clearing
and settlement agent for private securities and public shares
Bicephalous organisation, distinguishing between a single CSD for private securities and the NCB acting as central depository for Government bonds
CSD acting as central depository only, besides other SSSs and the NCB
![Page 19: The impact of the creation of CSDs in CEECs. Implications for Armenia. Karine THEMEJIAN (ECB) Dominique CHABERT (University Lyon 2 / GATE UMR 5824 – CNRS)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514981c550346f06e8b55dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
Criteria defined by Guadamillas and Keppler (2001) Clearing and settlement processes: general
compliance with some exceptions Legal soudness: difficulty to assess Settlement risks: Most of the countries
implement DvP schemes (majority DvP model 1)
![Page 20: The impact of the creation of CSDs in CEECs. Implications for Armenia. Karine THEMEJIAN (ECB) Dominique CHABERT (University Lyon 2 / GATE UMR 5824 – CNRS)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514981c550346f06e8b55dc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Settlement of transfer instructions
Final transfer of securities and funds Potential risks
Model 1 Gross basis Simultaneous settlement of individual securities transfer instructions and associated funds transfer instructions
High fail rates (linked to the need to maintain important money and securities balances) with consequences on replacement cost risk and liquidity risk
Model 2 Gross basis for securities Net basis for funds
Final transfer of securities throughout the processing cycle;Settlement of funds transfer on a net basis with final transfer at the end of the processing cycle
Principal risk (if no additional safeguard)Replacement cost risk and liquidity risk, but reduced thanks to the possibility to settle funds transfer on a net basis
Model 3 Net basis Simultaneous settlement at the end of the processing cycle
Principal risk may occurReplacement cost risk and liquidity riskSettlement bank failure if accounts are not held at a central bankPotential for high liquidity pressures Unwind

The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
Criteria defined by Guadamillas and Keppler (2001) Regulatory oversight: all SSSs are subject to
some form of regulation Clearing and settlement institutions and
their participants: no undue restriction Safeguard policies: various risk control
measures in place System capacities: progress in the
implementation of back up and disaster recovery facilities
![Page 22: The impact of the creation of CSDs in CEECs. Implications for Armenia. Karine THEMEJIAN (ECB) Dominique CHABERT (University Lyon 2 / GATE UMR 5824 – CNRS)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514981c550346f06e8b55dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
Most of these infrastructures comply with the minimum criteria
To what extent has the compliance with international requirements enabled a significant development of markets and the economy?

The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
In most countries under review, CSDs’ activity in volume & in value of transactions handled went along with the development of the volume of transactions on stock exchanges
A covariation sometimes blurred by the coexistence of several SSSs (for instance when the Central Bank operates a specific system for public bonds)
![Page 30: The impact of the creation of CSDs in CEECs. Implications for Armenia. Karine THEMEJIAN (ECB) Dominique CHABERT (University Lyon 2 / GATE UMR 5824 – CNRS)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514981c550346f06e8b55dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
In most countries, a significant growth of securities issued and securities registered at the national CSD IPO’s and privatisation process Development of mutual funds and pension
funds But, still a shy development
Privatisations have created a flow (not always with the expected effects)
Investment portfolios by non-residents still low

The implementation of CSDs in CEECs
The creation of CSDs has enabled to create the conditions to a shift towards a « secure securities economy ».
CSDs are also, with other market infrastructure, decisive actors: They enable to attract foreign investors who

registry of securities issued They build, with Central Banks, a link
between the securities world and the cash world for repos operations
