Trade Repository Registration Arrangements under the UK Securities Financing Transactions Regulation

Updated 16 October 2020

The Treasury previously made The Trade Repositories (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, helping enable Trade Repositories to be registered to operate in the UK post-Transition Period in relation to functions established by the European Market Infrastructure Regulation.

Trade Repositories and relevant market participants should note that the Treasury will bring forward similar legislation prior to the end of the Transition Period helping enable Trade Repositories to register with the FCA or apply in advance to operate in the UK immediately following the end of the Transition Period, in relation to functions established by the UK Securities Financing Transactions Regulation.

Further information on registration will follow from the Financial Conduct Authority in due course.
