Recital 17

(17)Point (d) of Article 59(3) of Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 relating to the credit risk of a CSD-banking service provider requires the collection of ‘highly liquid collateral with minimal credit and market risk’. Point (d) of Article 59(4) of Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 relating to the liquidity risk of a CSD-banking service provider, requires availability of ‘qualifying liquid resources’. One such qualifying liquid resource is ‘highly liquid collateral’. While it is understandable that the terminology used in each of the two cases is different, given the different nature of the risks involved and the correspondence to different concepts in the regulation of credit and liquidity risk, they both relate to a similarly high quality of providers or assets. Therefore, it would be appropriate to require that the same conditions are met before a collateral or a liquidity resource in the form of collateral can qualify as pertaining to either the ‘highly liquid collateral with minimal credit and market risk' category’, or to the ‘qualifying liquid resources’ category, respectively.
