Regulation on capital requirements for central counterparties

This procedure establishes detailed technical standards for the amount of capital that central counterparties (CCPs) must hold. By ensuring these financial institutions have sufficient capital buffers, the EU aims to reduce the risk of systemic failure in the financial markets and protect the stability of the wider economy.

This primarily affects central counterparties and financial supervisors. It updates the rules on how capital is calculated and reported to ensure consistent oversight across the European Union.
