Current definitions are now shown alongside the previous ones. You can generate a PDF version of the glossary here.

interdependency

Interconnections among payment, clearing and settlement systems based on direct relationships between the systems, indirect relationships arising from the activities of large financial institutions in multiple systems and broader commonalities. The smooth functioning of one system can be dependent on that of another system and the smooth functioning of two or more systems may be dependent on a third party or factor (for example, common participants or service providers).
