On January 24, the Bank of England updated its financial market infrastructure supervision websites with interim lists of entities and systems that will enter into the various temporary or transitional arrangements on exit day should the United Kingdom leave the European Union with no implementation period. The lists consist of:
- Third-country central counterparties (CCPs) that will offer clearing services and activities in the UK under the temporary recognition regime of the Central Counterparties (Amendments, etc., and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018;
- Third-country central securities depositories (CSDs) that will provide CSD services in the United Kingdom using the transitional provisions of the Central Securities Depositories (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018; and
- European Economic Area (EEA) systems whose operators have indicated their intention for such systems to receive settlement finality protection in the United Kingdom pursuant to the draft temporary designation regime of the Draft Financial Markets and Insolvency (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
