SI ENTER Market entered on the list of the ECB eligible markets

Ljubljanska borza, d. d., Ljubljana

Ljubljana Stock Exchange, d. d., Ljubljana, informs that it has in cooperation with the Bank of Slovenia successfully completed the process of listing the SI ENTER market on the list of acceptable non-regulated markets of the European Central Bank (ECB), which is one of the criteria to be met by debt financial instruments for being considered as eligible marketable assets that can serve as collateral for Eurosystem credit operations.

In order to be eligible as collateral for Eurosystem credit operations, debt financial instruments must comply with the general eligibility criteria as laid down in the General Conditions of the Bank of Slovenia on the Implementation of the Monetary Policy Framework and must be issued or guaranteed by central banks of Member States, public entities, agencies, credit institutions, financial and non-financial corporations, multilateral development banks or international organizations.

Eligibility criteria include the condition that the debt financial instrument is listed on one of the acceptable markets for marketable assets. An acceptable market is considered to be an organized market, such as the Stock Exchange Market of Ljubljana Stock Exchange, and certain non-regulated markets that meet the principles of security, transparency and accessibility, and are included by the ECB in the list of eligible non-regulated markets. As of today, the SI ENTER market is also included among these markets. The list of acceptable non-regulated markets is available at:

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/coll/standards/marketable/html/index.en.html.

The inclusion of the SI ENTER market on the list of eligible markets of the ECB opens new possibilities on the Slovenian capital market regarding the listing of debt financial instruments.
