from ICMA European repo market survey number 41 conducted June 2021 - published November 2021
by ICMA
The ICMA European Repo and Collateral Council (ERCC) (formerly the ICMA European Repo Council) is the forum where the repo dealer community meets and forges consensus solutions to the practical problems of a rapidly evolving marketplace. In this role, it has been consolidating and codifying best market practice. The contact and dialogue that takes place at the ERCC underpins the strong sense of community and common interest that characterises the professional repo market in Europe.
The ERCC was established in December 1999 by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA, which was then called the International Securities Market Association or ISMA) as a body operating under ICMA auspices.
Membership of the ERCC is open to any ICMA who transacts repo and associated collateral business in Europe, is willing to abide by the rules and has sufficient professional expertise, financial standing and technical resources to meet its obligations as a member.
The ERCC meets twice a year (usually in February/March and September) at different financial centres across Europe. The Steering Committee now comprises 19 members elected annually and meets six or seven times a year.
More information about the ERCC is available on www.icmagroup.org.
