CSDR settlement discipline modifications are in effect as of 1 February 2022 - KDPW
Modifications in connection with the alignment of the KDPW Group with the CSDR settlement discipline requirements (Phase II of the project) have been implemented on 1 February 2022 in the 2022 winter implementation window:a new system of cash penalties for late settlement, including mechanisms for the redistribution of cash penalties to counterparties by KDPW and KDPW_CCP;mechanisms for monitoring of participants’ timely settlement and assessment of settlement efficiency and mechanisms for supervisory reporting of settlement discipline;modifications to the existing hold/release mechanism; and additionallychanges to the processing of settlement orders relating to post-trade settlements; the changes follow from discussions in working groups aiming to improve the processing of instructions delivered by participants’ clients, in particular allowing instructions not to be marked with a specific code related to post-trade settlement (market code XPXX in the KDPW system).

In view of ESMA’s statement regarding processes related to buy-in transactions (link), the KDPW system has not implemented mechanisms related to reporting the details of such transactions to KDPW. However, the KDPW mechanisms supporting settlement processes related to potential buy-ins by participants offer the full range of functionalities as of 1 February 2022 including:the hold/release mechanism, as modified on 1 February 2022;settlement instruction cancellation;partial settlement, including modification of consent for partial settlement in a settlement instruction by means of technical instructions;,new operation codes for buy-ins outside the trading system.
Due to the ongoing authorisation process, only the changes concerning the collection and redistribution of cash penalties by KDPW_CCP on the basis of KDPW data have been implemented in the KDPW_CCP system as of 1 February 2022, including new operation codes for buy-ins in payment systems.
