Settlement Discipline Regime

Q&A Document

Client information on KELER CCP compliance under SDR


CSDR (909/2014/EU Regulation) places a particular emphasis on ensuring and maintaining the settlement discipline of securities transactions. In order to reach its main goal the Regulation not only sets requirements for central securities depositories (CSDs), but for central counterparties (CCPs) as well. CSDR is complemented by various Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) and Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS), in particular 2017/389/EU Regulation contains the detailed rules of the cash penalty requirements for settlement fails, while the 2018/1229/EU Regulation sets requirements for the buy-in mechanism. These three regulations are commonly referred to as the settlement discipline regime (SDR).
