The Financial Market Association AEFMA Germany welcomes the extension of Eurex’s Partnership Program to Repo. The increased liquidity in German Bunds is very important for the EUR-Repo Market, given the need for an alternative central clearer within the EU 27.

Continued high demand for HQLA collateral combined with a concentration of settlement in Europe requires strong sources of market liquidity. The linkage between custody, triparty, CCP and electronic trading are key to achieve this high degree of market efficiency. Commerzbank as a key driver of digital innovation joint the Eurex Partnership Program Repo in order to ensure operational readiness                                    towards the next level of Liquidity/HQLA management.

The extension of the Eurex Partnership Program to Repo is a logical step for Eurex Clearing to complete the value proposition for interest rate products. DZ Bank AG as a longstanding client of Eurex Repo is therefore very pleased to be involved and be a partner in this initiative tool.
