Securities clearing and settlement

Securities clearing and settlement statistics provide information on the different types of pre- and post-trade infrastructures/systems for structural analysis, for oversight and research purposes.

The Securities clearing statistics cover the activities of centralised clearing counterparties (CCPs). This dataset provides information on clearing members as well as the number and value of different types of contracts cleared.

Number of participants/clearing members refers to the participants in CCP operations. Clearing members are broken down into central banks, CCPs, credit institutions, and other (residual). The number of clearing members refers to the last day of the year.

The Securities settlement statistics cover the activity of central securities depositories (CSDs). This dataset provides information on direct participants in CSDs and also on the number and value of securities held on accounts as well as on delivery instructions.
