Readiness Steps

Eurex Clearing has, in close alignment with Clearing Members, identified the key steps required to achieve readiness by 06 February 2023. These are marked as checkpoints in the customer journey to readiness. We have developed a series of short online questionnaires to monitor the progress of the items for each checkpoint and, where required, to support clients with the individual readiness steps. Whilst there is no requirement to complete these online questionnaires, Eurex encourages Clearing Members to do so in order to gather information on the market readiness.

The following questionnaires will be made available over the next few months:
