Open / Open-Variable Repos: Partial Closing

With this circular Eurex Clearing would like to inform you that Eurex Repo will introduce the possibility to partially close open or open-variable repos with the Eurex Repo mandatory Release 10.2.7 as of November 30, 2009.

The new service will have no impact on the CCP processing.

As of November 30, 2009, it will be possible in the Eurex Repo trading system to close an active open or open-variable repo for a reduced amount / size, while automatically a new repo will be created for the remaining amount, with a purchase date that is equal to the repurchase date of the original repo (T+2).

In the CCP system this processing leads to the complete closing of the original repo effective on T+2, and the receipt of a new open / open-variable repo from the trading system.

Please consider within your back-office processing the creation of new open / open-variable repo transactions based on partial closing in the trading system.

Kindly forward this product announcement to all involved departments in your company.
