Eurex Clearing will expand its partnership programme to cover the repo and over-the-counter (OTC) foreign exchange segments.
Eurex announced its plans following the initiation of Eurex鈥檚 OTC interest rate derivatives segment, which started in January 2018.
As part of its partnership programme, Eurex Clearing shares governance and economics with the most active programme participants.
For the repo segment, the aim of the programme is to increase choice and efficiency for market participants in special repo and general collateral instruments and to foster adoption and growth in the dealer-to-client repo business.
The new FX segment of the partnership programme is designed to deliver the benefits of clearing to OTC FX markets, which are still largely uncleared today.
Eurex Clearing is currently working with market participants to be the first major clearinghouse to offer a comprehensive cross currency swap clearing service.
Market participants can now register their interest to join the new programme components for a planned start in Q1 2019.
Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley have expressed an early interest to join both new segments鈥揜epo and OTC FX .
In addition, Citigroup, DekaBank and Landesbank Baden-W眉rttemberg have indicated their interest in participating in the repo programme.
Erik M眉ller, CEO of Eurex Clearing, commented: 鈥淭he extension of the partnership programme further enhances choice and innovation in the marketplace.鈥�
He added: 鈥淢arket participants now can tap the full benefits of Eurex Clearing鈥檚 integrated value proposition across fixed income derivatives, Repo and FX markets.鈥�
Charles Bristow, co-head of global rates trading at J.P. Morgan, said: 鈥淛.P. Morgan has been an early supporter and design partner for the OTC interest rate derivatives clearing segment of the partnership programme.鈥�
He added: 鈥淲e welcome the planned extension of this successful programme which is aimed at broadening market participants鈥� clearing options for the new asset classes and increasing resiliency.鈥�
