Recital 26
Recital 26
(26) In order to avoid settlement risks due to the insolvency of the settlement agent, a CSD should settle, whenever practical and available, the cash leg of the securities transaction through accounts opened with a central bank. Where that option is not practical and available, including where a CSD does not meet the conditions to access a central bank other than that of its home Member State, that CSD should be able to settle the cash leg of transactions in foreign currencies through accounts opened with institutions authorised to provide banking services under the conditions provided in Regulation (EU) No 909/2014. The efficiency of the settlement market would be better served by enhancing the possibilities for CSDs to provide settlement in foreign currencies through the use of accounts opened with institutions authorised to provide banking services, within appropriate risk limits, with a view to deepen capital markets and enhance cross-border settlement. For that purpose, CSDs authorised to provide banking-type ancillary services in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 and for which the relevant risks are already monitored, should be able to offer such services to other CSDs that do not hold such license irrespective if the latter are part of the same group of companies. Designated credit institutions and CSDs authorised to provide banking-type ancillary services should only be authorised to provide such services for the purposes of settlement of the cash leg of the transactions in the securities settlement system of the CSD seeking to use the banking-type ancillary services in a currency or currencies other than that of the country where the settlement takes place, and not to carry out any other activities.
