Repo: A destination for banks and corporates
Corporate treasurers
• Looking to decrease direct exposure on banks
• Looking to create collateral pools for derivatives activity
Banks need to:
• Have alternative sources of funding
• Prove they have access to long term funding
• Comply with NSFR as this favours corporate funding sources
Repo is the natural meeting place

A clear route through the GMRA
Euroclear has launched RepoAccess, a service that makes Repos easier by reducing the effort needed to set up a GMRA
Our aim is to create a community of banks and corporates centered around the GMRA

Why the GMRA?
The GMRA is the market standard agreement under which most international repo activity takes place. It provides:
• Protection: ►Tried and tested (Lehman, MF Global)►Robust legal framework: Well understood in major
markets
• Reliability: Well establised and widely
The GMRA opens the door to European funding markets but can be a challenge to implement.
