Summary

This paper presents a technical note on regulation, supervision, oversight, and crisis management of financial market infrastructures in Spain. The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) lacks, and should be provided, full autonomy over its recruitment of staff, including in key specialist areas. The CNMV’s effective cooperation with the Banco de España (BdE) and authorities from other jurisdictions to ensure adequate supervision of Bolsas y Mercados Españoles Clearing (BMEC) and Iberclear (IC) could be further strengthened by formalizing current arrangements with the BdE. The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) identified some enhancements to the supervision of margin practices that would make it even more robust. The CNMV should ensure that its recommendations to BMEC are implemented in timely fashion and, to the extent possible, that improvements made in one segment also benefit the others. The FSAP recommends strengthening of some aspects of IC’s recovery plan.
