    Amendments to monetary policy implementation guidelines

    On 25 September 2020 the Governing Council adopted amendments to the ECB legal framework for the implementation of monetary policy, applicable from 1 January 2021. Under the amended Guidelines, no secured marketable assets other than asset-backed securities and covered bonds would be accepted as Eurosystem collateral. The ECB will also phase out non-legislative covered bonds (i.e. contractual covered bonds) from the Eurosystem collateral framework. The amended Guidelines also clarify the application process and acceptance criteria for external credit assessment institutions in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework, and furthermore amend the Eurosystem monetary policy counterparty framework with respect to the treatment of confirmed breaches of minimum own funds requirements and breaches of the obligation to report information on capital ratios within the required deadlines. A related press release, the amended Guidelines (Guideline ECB/2020/45 amending Guideline (EU) 2015/510 on the implementation of the Eurosystem monetary policy framework, Guideline ECB/2020/46 amending Guideline (EU) 2016/65 on the valuation haircuts applied in the implementation of the Eurosystem monetary policy framework, and Guideline ECB/2020/47 amending Guideline ECB/2014/31 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral) and the Decision those Guidelines implement (Decision ECB/2020/48 amending Decision (EU) 2020/187 on the implementation of the third covered bonds purchase programme) are available on the ECB’s website.
