期货和衍生品行业监管动态

The Bank of England (the Bank) welcomes the decision of the European

Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to extend the existing EU recognition of

UK central counterparties (CCPs). The decision enables continued access to the

clearing services of UK CCPs by EU participants, and supports the sound and stable

functioning of markets in both the UK and EU. The recognition decision follows the

European Commission’s extension of EU equivalence for the UK’s legal and

supervisory framework for CCPs in January 2025:

decision on the UK’s legal and supervisory framework for central

counterparties

Alongside this, revisions have been agreed to the existing Memorandum of

Understanding (MoU) between the Bank and ESMA regarding cooperation and

information sharing in relation to UK CCPs. The revisions meet the new requirements

for cooperation arrangements in EU legislation under the European Markets and

Infrastructure Regulation.

The Governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey said: “The Bank is

responsible for supervising financial market infrastructures (FMIs) that are used by
market participants from around the world. Our commitment to cooperation with

other authorities enables the effective cross-border supervision of FMIs. As the lead

supervisor and resolution authority for UK CCPs, we have a longstanding relationship

with ESMA, and we look forward to our continued cooperation under the updated

MoU.
