Abstract

This project-dissertation was established in collaboration with the securities committee of the Luxembourg Bankers’ Association – ABBL. The objective is to provide a first-hand experience of Target2-Securities (T2S) in Luxembourg by understanding the reaction and the potential impact on current business and operating models of selected Luxembourgish securities actors. Furthermore, to identify the main challenges and opportunities stemming from the introduction of T2S and highlight the expected benefits and major market trends in the T2S environment in Luxembourg. 

T2S is one of the biggest infrastructure projects set-up by the Eurosystem. It is expected to overcome the current fragmented European landscape and bring major improvements and benefits to the European post-trading landscape by establishing a single pan-European security settlement platfrom in central bank money (ECB, 2016).

Target2-Securities started its operations in June 2015. How does it affect the different Luxembourgish securities actors? In order to answer this question, a questionnaire has been established with 3 main parts:

1.T2S in Luxembourg. How did the respondents react to T2S in Luxembourg?
2.T2S, what was the impact on current business and operating models?
3.T2S, what are opportunities and benefits?

A logical framework and step-by-step methodological approach is used to achieve the demanded objectives. A survey questionnaire was designed and face to face meetings were carried out with selected securities actors in Luxembourg.

The results are based both on a sеries of in-depth interviеws organised in Luxembourg between October 2015 and March 2016 and the survey questionnaire. The respondents of the study only included experts in the securities services. The interviews were conducted in complete anonymity. All the gathered data was consolidated and normalised.

The conclusion of our study will be that the impacts of T2S in Luxembourg are significant for the CSDs and ICSD while limited or even nonexistent for the (global) custodians and Banks due to their operating models and roles in the markets. However, some opportunistic impacts are discovered for those actors.

Abstract

Over the last decade, the securities industry has been revolutionized. Technological and market innovations urged regulators to respond by updating the rules on securities trading. While in the US, traditional stock exchanges were under attack from electronic trading systems (ECNs), the European Union wanted to increase competition by abolishing the monopoly of traditional exchanges and by allowing systemic internalization by banks. The first part of this book focuses on the front-office of securities trading. It discusses the impact of alternative trading systems (ATSs), the regulatory response through the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) and the Regulation National Market System (RegNMS), the appearance of multilateral trading facilities (MTFs), and the use of dark pools. Although the trading practice has been adjusted to the new challenges, the back-office did not follow in a similar way. The European clearing and settlement industry has been fragmented for many years. Since MiFID allows trading venues to choose the route for clearing and settlement, the need for adjustments down the trading chain is urgent. The book discusses the competition and externalities of this network industry, cross-border central securities depositories (CSDs), systemic risk and central counterparty (CCP), the market consolidation process (Link-Up Markets), as well as the initiative of the European Central Bank by launching the TARGET 2 Securities (T2S) project. The book is for practitioners, executive and market professionals from the banking and securities industry, as well as academics who want to update their insights and knowledge about the profound changes in securities trading, clearing, and settlement in Europe. Readers will find state-of-the-art discussions about MiFID, T2S, and so on.
