Settlement Discipline: Assessing readiness for forthcoming regulation

The CSDR’s Settlement Discipline Regime (SDR), scheduled to apply from 1 February 2022, will affect all market participants who are active in securities settling via European CSDs.
SDR harmonises aspects of the settlement cycle and introduces new rules for cash penalties and buys-ins.
The settlement efficiency will be key to meeting the requirements of SDR.

With little more than 6 months to go, all market members are entering the final round of their preparations and testing.

The Euronext Settlement Discipline Webinar aims to provide an overview on the upcoming regime from the perspective of the primary players gathered to discuss current issues and address the key points for penalties and buy-in.
