The European Central Bank (ECB) is to join Eurex as a new member to its centrally cleared repo market in Q1 2026.
The ECB will diversify its securities lending infrastructure and transfer part of its securities lending activities for its monetary policy portfolios to centrally cleared repo transactions.
Im猫ne Rahmouni-Rousseau, Director General Market Operations at the ECB, says: 鈥淭he trend towards central clearing for repo transactions supports the smooth functioning and the resilience of euro area repo markets.
鈥淭hese markets play a crucial role for the transmission of our monetary policy and the redistribution of liquidity in the financial system.
鈥淐entral clearing will diversify our securities lending channels for monetary policy portfolios and will also contribute to broadening our existing market intelligence in this core segment.鈥�
The ECB is the sixth central bank to connect to Eurex鈥檚 repo ecosystem, which includes a diverse community exceeding 160 participants from 21 countries, including international banks, government agencies, and supranational organisations.
Matthias Graulich, member of the executive board at Eurex, adds: 鈥淭he ECB鈥檚 decision underscores the growing importance of centrally cleared repo for the stability and integrity of European financial markets and is a strong testament to the market's trust in our resilient and efficient infrastructure.
鈥淓urex, as part of Deutsche B枚rse Group, is relentlessly working to strengthen European capital markets, thereby contributing to the vision of a strong and sovereign Europe.鈥�
Eurex plans to continue expanding its network by connecting more central banks and public sector institutions across Europe.
