4 A4-1 ForewordThe worldwide collapse of equity prices in October 1987 heightened the awareness of central banks ofthe potential for disturbances in settlements of SECURITIES transactions to spread to PAYMENT systemsand to financial markets generally. Since then, central banks in the Group of Ten countries have beenworking with market participants and SECURITIES industry supervisors to strengthen settlementarrangements. In particular, most of the G-10 central banks have been actively involved in efforts toimplement the Group of Thirty s recommendations for strengthening and harmonising settlementarrangements for corporate SECURITIES as well as in efforts to strengthen settlement arrangements forgovernment order to enhance central bank understanding of issues relating to SECURITIES settlement systems, theCommittee on PAYMENT and settlement Systems reviewed and analysed arrangements in theG-10 countries at a meeting in Basle in December 1990.

5 At that meeting the Committee identified aneed for clearer understanding of the concept of DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT (DVP) and of theimplications of the design and operation of systems intended to achieve DVP for credit and liquidityrisks in SECURITIES settlements. Shortly thereafter, a study group, chaired by Mr. P. Parkinson, wasformed to analyse these report is the outcome of the study group s efforts. The group has developed a broad frameworkfor analysing the types and sources of risk in SECURITIES clearance and settlement , including the conceptand implications of DVP.

6 Building on this framework, it has reviewed the design and operation ofsecurities settlement systems in use or under development in the G-10 countries, identified commonapproaches to DVP and evaluated the implications of the various approaches for central bank policyobjectives concerning the stability of financial markets and the containment of systemic risk. Bypublishing the report the Committee hopes to contribute to the understanding of these issues andthereby to facilitate ongoing efforts to strengthen SECURITIES settlement systems in the G-10 countriesand in other report should be viewed solely as the product of study by the Committee on PAYMENT andSettlement Systems and does not necessarily represent the views of either the central banks of theG-10 countries or the Bank for International Settlements.

AND a meeting in December 1990, the Committee on PAYMENT and settlement Systems (CPSS)reviewed clearance and settlement arrangements in SECURITIES markets in the Group of Ten reports presented at that meeting indicated that substantial efforts have been made throughout theG-10 countries to reduce risk and increase efficiency in settlement arrangements since 1987, when theworldwide collapse of equity prices exposed weaknesses in many of those arrangements.

9 In particular,market participants in each of the G-10 countries have been striving to implement a set ofrecommendations for strengthening and harmonising settlement arrangements in the corporatesecurities markets worldwide that were promulgated by the Group of Thirty in March 1989 (seeAnnex 1). Central banks are concerned about the strength of SECURITIES clearance and settlementarrangements because they perceive that disturbances to settlements in the SECURITIES markets have thepotential to spread to the PAYMENT system and to the financial system generally.

10 Because of thisconcern, most of the G-10 central banks have been actively involved in the efforts to implement theGroup of Thirty s recommendations. In addition, publication of the Group of Thirty s report andrecommendations has prompted authorities in many of the G-10 countries to re-examine settlementarrangements for government SECURITIES , in which central banks typically play a prominent several of the Group of Thirty s recommendations were discussed by the CPSS atits December 1990 meeting, the recommendation that DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT (DVP) should beemployed as the method of settling SECURITIES transactions received the most attention.
