The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Resolution of Central Counterparties: Partial Property Transfers and Safeguarding of Protected Arrangements) Regulations 2023

These Regulations restrict the making of certain instruments where stabilisation powers are exercised under Schedule 11 (central counterparties) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (c. 29). Schedule 11 (“the Schedule”) makes provision establishing a special resolution regime for central counterparties (“CCPs”). It provides the Bank of England with stabilisation powers to exercise various stabilisation options where a CCP has encountered, or is likely to encounter, financial difficulties, as set out in paragraph 1 of the Schedule. This includes the power to make property transfer instruments, and write-down instruments.
