Welcome address TARGET Services

The Eurosystem has embarked on an ambitious journey to contribute to the integration of Europe’s financial market infrastructure. Enhanced TARGET Services will allow market participants to integrate their liquidity in a single pool of central bank money that can be used for cash, securities or collateral transactions. This will help to optimise liquidity flows across TARGET Services, set credit lines and manage central bank operations in an efficient and harmonised way.

Global move to ISO 20022

The launch of the new real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system in November 2021 will require a migration to ISO 20022 for large-value payments. Why are RTGS systems across the globe moving to ISO 20022? What benefits can be expected? How should market participants engage with challenges posed by the switch?

Panel members:

  • Marek Kozok, ECB
  • Will Lea, Bank of England
  • Frank Van Driessche, Federal Reserve Bank of New York

Moderator: Paula Roels, Deutsche Bank

Lunch break

Central bank readiness

Launching the new RTGS system requires central banks, and central bank communities, to migrate to the new set-up. How are central banks preparing for this? How will they ensure that both they, and their communities, are ready for the change?

Interactive discussion:

  • Luis Garcia, Banco de España
  • Michael Schoenmakers, Banque Centrale du Luxembourg
14:00

Panel: What will it take to be ready?

Diverse stakeholders will need to be ready to migrate to the new system in 2021 – financial institutions, central banks, ancillary systems etc. What approach should they take? What is needed to ensure they are all ready in time? What support is available?

Panel members:

  • Edouard Berthet, BNP Paribas
  • Olivier de la Maisonneuve, Worldline
  • Jette Simson, EBA Clearing

End of event
Call for participation in the ECB marketplace

In November 2021 the Eurosystem will replace its current TARGET2 settlement system with a new real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system built on ISO 20022. The launch will consolidate the new system and T2S, the securities settlement platform, on both technical and functional levels. The project will optimise liquidity management across all TARGET Services (TARGET2, T2S, TIPS and ECMS).

All current users – financial institutions, central banks, ancillary systems, network services providers, etc. – will be connected to the new system using a “big bang” approach, i.e. over a single weekend.

Extensive preparations and solid migration plans will be required to ensure everyone involved can meet the transition deadline of November 2021. To facilitate a smooth changeover process, some may choose to use external service providers. To foster transparency for all, the European Central Bank will run a marketplace where potential external providers can showcase their services and engage in dialogue with users of the new RTGS system.
