The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, has recognised four additional third country CCPs (TC-CCPs) under Article 25 of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), bringing the total number of TC-CCPs recognised by ESMA to 39.

The newly recognised TC-CCPs are:

  • Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Clearing Berhad (Malaysia);
  • Taiwan Futures Exchange Corporation (Taiwan);
  • Cámara de Riesgo Central de Contraparte de Colombia S.A. (Colombia); and
  • Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Clearing House Ltd (Israel).

The recognition of these four TC-CCPs follows the conclusion of standard Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between ESMA and their respective supervisory authorities, namely the Securities Commission Malaysia, the Financial Supervisory Commission Taiwan, the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia and the Israel Securities Authority.

  • NSE Clearing Limited (NSCCL), supervised by SEBI;

  • India International Clearing Corporation (IFSC) Limited (IICC), supervised by the International Financial Services Centre Authority (IFSCA); and
