The European Central Bank (ECB) will now use Deutsche B枚rse Group鈥檚 STOXX EUR GC Pooling index as its new benchmark rate for fixed term deposits, following the discontinuation of the Eurepo index.

The secured market rate with regard to fixed term deposits in euro will be the STOXX EUR GC Pooling term indices with a comparable maturity, according to the ECB.

STOXX EUR GC Pooling indices are calculated by STOXX, the global index provider owned by Deutsche B枚rse Group.

The indices are based on secured euro funding transactions taking place on Eurex Repo鈥檚 GC Pooling market, Deutsche B枚rse鈥檚 pan-European marketplace for international financing in the secured money market.

Almost all of European interbank financing is now executed on a collateralised basis. STOXX and Eurex Repo jointly developed the STOXX GC Pooling indices in 2013 as a market barometer of Europe鈥檚 largest secured money market, GC Pooling, according to Deutsche B枚rse.

鈥淲e are very pleased that the ECB is going to use our STOXX EUR GC Pooling indices as it validates our approach and concept,鈥 said Hartmut Graf, COE of STOXX.

鈥淥ur transparent, rules-based and reliable benchmark for the interbank market contributes to regain trust in reference interest rates.鈥

Marcel Naas, managing director of Eurex Repo, added: 鈥淥ur GC Pooling market is a regulated, anonymous, and centrally cleared marketplace with an average daily outstanding volume of more than 鈧150 billion.鈥
