Clearstream Completes First Tri-Party Repo in Taiwan

Clearstream successfully executed its first tri-party repo transaction in Taiwan. This milestone was achieved through a collaboration between Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank Ltd (SCSB) and ANZ Banking Group Ltd (ANZ), with Clearstream serving as the tri-party agent. 

The transaction highlights the growing importance of tri-party repos in Taiwan’s financial market. The repo and reverse repo market plays a crucial role in liquidity management in Taiwan. Around the world, tri-party repos are steadily gaining traction, especially among buy-side clients like corporates, hedge funds, and asset managers. 

Their appeal lies in their unique risk/return profile, offering both security and the potential for enhanced yields. Consequently, many financial institutions are shifting from traditional money market instruments and bilateral repos to tri-party repos. For over 30 years, Clearstream has provided tri-party repo services, acting as a neutral intermediary to connect global market participants. Its platform grants clients access to extensive liquidity pools while simplifying settlement and administrative processes.
