Research visit to study the exchange-traded repo market in South Africa

The study has been commissioned from ICMA by Frontclear, a development finance company focused on catalysing stable and inclusive access to interbank markets for local financial institutions in emerging markets and developing countries. The aim is to understand how repo exchanges work, why they have been selected as a basis for market development, how they are used by members, their efficiency, the extent to which they meet market demands and challenges of using an exchange as opposed to the OTC market.
