      March 2024
      The Eurosystem conducts a three-monthly qualitative survey on credit terms and
      conditions in euro-denominated securities financing and over-the-counter (OTC)
      derivatives markets.
    • The survey questions are grouped into three sections:
      1.

      counterparty types ? credit terms and conditions for various counterparty
      types in both securities financing and OTC derivatives markets;

      2.

      securities financing ? financing conditions for various collateral types;

      3.

      non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives ? credit terms and conditions for
      various derivative types.

    • The survey focuses on euro-denominated instruments in securities financing and
      OTC derivatives markets.
    • For securities financing, the survey refers to the
      euro-denominated securities against which financing is provided, rather than the
      currency of the loan.
    • Reporting institutions should report on their global credit terms, so the survey is
      aimed at senior credit officers responsible for maintaining an overview of the
      management of credit risks.

      derivatives transactions had eased somewhat across all counterparties, while credit
      standards for funding secured against various types of collateral and non-price terms
      in OTC derivatives markets were generally tighter.
    • Credit terms and conditions for various counterparty types in both
      securities financing and OTC derivatives markets
      Overall credit terms and conditions eased between December 2023 and
      February 2024 (Chart A).
    • The overall easing of conditions masked some
      heterogeneity between price and non-price terms, and across different types of
      counterparty, though reported changes were relatively small.

      cleared OTC derivative
