TR-CMB
- Principle ID 15.0
- Rating Partly consistent
Implementation measure cut-off date: 15-May-2022
Assessment rating date: 30-May-2019
Principle
An FMI should identify, monitor, and manage its general business risk and hold sufficient liquid net assets funded by equity to cover potential general business losses so that it can continue operations and services as a going concern if those losses materialise. Further, liquid net assets should at all times be sufficient to ensure a recovery or orderly wind-down of critical operations and services.
Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328 CMB TR Regulation
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures only provide for having risk management systems established by TRs, but do not explicitly focus on the types of risks that the TRs should identify, monitor and manage – including general business risks, losses arising from poor execution of business strategy, and unexpected and excessively large operating expenses. The implementation measures do not provide for holding liquid net assets funded by equity for continuing its operations on a going-concern basis, which should also be factored into the preparation of a recovery plan. The CMB may consider implementing measures to address gaps pertaining to identification, monitoring and management of various types of risks by the TRs, including general business risks, losses arising from poor execution of business strategy, and unexpected and excessively large operating expenses. The CMB may also consider addressing gaps pertaining to holding liquid net assets funded by equity by TRs for continuing its operations on a going-concern basis, which should also be factored into the preparation of a recovery plan.

Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328 CMB TR Regulation Article No: 5 (3) (b-c) and Article 7(1-a)
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
Though the CMB TR Regulation requires TRs to establish internal controls and risk management systems and ensure its operability, there is no provision about the requirements of TRs in respect of the identification, monitoring and management of general business risks, losses from poor execution of business strategy or large operating expenses. Although CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under the supervision of the CMB to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps pertaining to the management of general business risks.
TR-CMB
- Principle ID 15.2
- Rating Partly consistent
Implementation measure cut-off date: 15-May-2022
Assessment rating date: 30-May-2019
Principle
An FMI should identify, monitor, and manage its general business risk and hold sufficient liquid net assets funded by equity to cover potential general business losses so that it can continue operations and services as a going concern if those losses materialise. Further, liquid net assets should at all times be sufficient to ensure a recovery or orderly wind-down of critical operations and services.
Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328 CMB TR Regulation Article No:5 (1) (c-d), 3 (a-b), Article No:7 (1) (a, f)
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures do not require TRs to hold liquid net assets funded by equity (such as common stock, disclosed reserves or other retained earnings) so that they can continue operations and services as a going concern if it incurs general business losses. Although the CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under the CMB’s supervision to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps.

- Principle ID 15.3
- Rating Partly consistent
Implementation measure cut-off date: 15-May-2022
Assessment rating date: 30-May-2019
Principle
An FMI should identify, monitor, and manage its general business risk and hold sufficient liquid net assets funded by equity to cover potential general business losses so that it can continue operations and services as a going concern if those losses materialise. Further, liquid net assets should at all times be sufficient to ensure a recovery or orderly wind-down of critical operations and services.
Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures do not provide for putting in place a recovery plan and wind-down plan by the TRs and also to hold sufficient liquid net assets equivalent to six months of operating expenses. Although the CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under the CMB’s supervision to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps pertaining to recovery plans and wind-down plans by TRs.

Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures do not require TRs to have high quality liquid assets so as to cover general business risks under a range of scenarios including adverse market conditions. Although CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under CMB’s supervision to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps.

Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures do not provide for maintaining a viable plan by the TRs for raising additional equity in case of possible reduction in its equity to or below the amount needed. Although CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under the CMB’s supervision to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps.
TR-CMB
- Principle ID 17.0
- Rating Broadly consistent
Implementation measure cut-off date: 15-May-2022
Assessment rating date: 30-May-2019
Principle
An FMI should identify the plausible sources of operational risk, both internal and external, and mitigate their impact through the use of appropriate systems, policies, procedures, and controls. Systems should be designed to ensure a high degree of security and operational reliability and should have adequate, scalable capacity. Business continuity management should aim for timely recovery of operations and fulfilment of the FMI’s obligations, including in the event of a wide-scale or major disruption.
Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328 CML CMB TR Regulation CMB Communiqué on Information Systems Management (VII-128.9) CMB COMMUNIQUE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures provide for putting in place a risk management system and conducting TR services in an effective, reliable and uninterrupted manner with necessary data processing systems and technological infrastructure established, and with a business continuity plan. However, those measures do not cover management of operational risk, including governance structure for operational risk. Nor do they provide for a high degree of certainty for ensuring management of risks posed by the participants of TRs and other FMIs in their operations, or risks posed by the TR to other FMIs. Although CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under CMB’s supervision to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps.

Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
Article 5(3)(b) of CMB TR Regulation only mentions establishing a risk management framework by the TRs. However, the implementation measures do not provide for putting in place a robust operational risk management framework by the TRs. Although CMB Policy Statement No 10/328 provides a general requirement for FMIs under CMB’s supervision to pay due care and diligence in complying with the PFMI, the CMB may consider implementing measures to address the above gaps.
Description of filters

FMI type
This filter limits the search results to the selected FMI types. FMIs may be subject to different regulatory, supervisory and oversight regimes depending on their organisation, function and design.
PS: Payment system
A set of instruments, procedures and rules for the transfer of funds between or among participants; the system includes the participants and the entity operating the arrangement.
CSD/SSS: Central securities depository / Securities settlement system
CSDs are entities that provide securities accounts, central safekeeping services and asset services, which may include the administration of corporate actions and redemptions, and play an important role in helping to ensure the integrity of securities issues (that securities are not accidentally or fraudulently created or destroyed or their details changed). The precise activities of a CSD vary based on jurisdiction and market practices.
SSS are entities that enable securities to be transferred and settled by book entry according to a set of predetermined multilateral rules. Such systems allow transfers of securities either free of payment or against payment. Typically, a CSD also operates an SSS.
CCP: Central counterparty
An entity that interposes itself between counterparties to contracts traded in one or more financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer and thereby ensuring the performance of open contracts.
TR: Trade repository
An entity that maintains a centralised electronic record (database) of transaction data.
Principle or key consideration ID
This filter limits the search results to selected principles and key considerations. Each principle includes a headline standard and a list of key considerations that further explain the headline standard. The principles are listed below. A detailed list of key considerations is available in the CPMI-IOSCO Principles for financial market infrastructures.
Principle rating
This filter limits the search results to selected principle rating(s) used in the L2 assessments. The ratings reflect conditions at the time of the assessment, and are built on key conclusions that reflect CPMI and IOSCO's collective expert judgment regarding the impact of identified gaps and/or shortcomings. Ratings are determined for each principle after the jurisdiction's legislative and regulatory framework, including policy statements, as relevant, was compared against the corresponding content of the PFMI.
The jurisdiction’s regulatory framework is consistent with the Principle. The assessment has identified no gaps or shortcomings, or only a few gaps and/or shortcomings that have no material impact on completeness and/or consistency.
The jurisdiction’s regulatory framework is broadly consistent with the Principle. The assessment has identified gaps and/or shortcomings that have a minor impact on completeness and/or consistency.
The jurisdiction’s regulatory framework is partly consistent with the Principle. The assessment has identified gaps and/or shortcomings that have a significant impact on completeness and/or consistency.
The jurisdiction’s regulatory framework is not consistent with the Principle. The assessment has identified gaps and/or shortcomings that have a major impact on completeness and/or consistency.
This status corresponds to the case where no relevant FMI exists that is within the scope of the Principles. A rating of “NA” will be indicated only if no relevant regulatory measures are being taken and no such FMI is expected to develop within the jurisdiction.
