PFMI implementation database
This is an online data repository of jurisdictions' implementation measures for the Principles for financial market infrastructures and associated CPMI and IOSCO assessment principle ratings. It complements the Level 2 assessment programme on the extent to which jurisdictions' implementation measures are complete and consistent with the international standards for payment systems, central securities depositories, securities settlement systems, central counterparties and trade repositories.
Note that authorities may have updated their rules, regulations and policies since the assessment. For current implementation measures, please contact the relevant authority.

TR-CMB
- Principle ID 23.0
- Rating Broadly consistent
Implementation measure cut-off date: 15-May-2022
Assessment rating date: 30-May-2019
Principle
An FMI should have clear and comprehensive rules and procedures and should provide sufficient information to enable participants to have an accurate understanding of the risks, fees, and other material costs they incur by participating in the FMI. All relevant rules and key procedures should be publicly disclosed.
Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328 CMB TR Regulation
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures require TRs to regularly disclose to the public, through TRs’ websites, the prices of trade repository services, and the regulations and principles regarding the provision of services. They also require TRs to publicly disclose data relating to trade transactions. However, the implementation measures do not provide clear requirements about publishing to the public the FMI rules or the system designs, and rights and responsibilities of its participants. 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 gap relating to requirements to publish, by the TRs, the rules, system designs, and rights and responsibilities of its participants to the public.

Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
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 gap relating to instructing the TRs to clearly publish the TR rules for the benefit of its members and general public.

All relevant rules and key procedures should be publicly disclosed.
Implementation measures
CMB Board Decision (Policy Statement) no.10/328 CMB TR Regulation - Article 7 and 15
Assessment comments (key conclusions and recommendations)
The implementation measures do not require TRs to disclose the description of the system's design and operations, or participants' rights, for the benefit of participants. 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.

Description of filters
Jurisdiction
This filter limits the search results to selected jurisdictions. The available jurisdictions represent assessments that have been completed to date. The table below provides also a pdf of key conclusions and recommendations for all Principles of a given jurisdiction.

Australia RBA: Reserve Bank of Australia | |
Brazil BCB: Central Bank of Brazil | |
Canada | |
European Union ESMA: European Securities and Markets Authority | |

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.
