Question

Which settlement fails should be taken into account when calculating a participant's rate of settlement efficiency in accordance with Article 39(2) of the RTS on settlement discipline?

Answer

[ESMA70-156-4448 CSD Settlement discipline Q&A 9] The settlement fails to be used for this calculation should cover, for each participant, all the participant’s accounts opened/operated by the respective participant in a CSD securities settlement system: the participant’s own accounts and the participant’s client accounts. In addition, for all these accounts of a participant, the calculation should not take into account settlement fails where the settlement fail cannot be attributed to the participant (e.g. when the settlement fail is caused by the participant’s counterparty).
