About Eurepo®

Since the introduction of the Euro, the European repo markets have developed significantly, with more and more emphasis on cross border financing trades. This has led to an increasingly homogenous Euro-denominated General Collateral ('GC') market.
Administrated by the European Money Markets Institute the Eurepo® was defined as the rate at which, at 11.00 a.m. Brussels time, one bank offers, in the euro-zone and worldwide, funds in euro to another bank if in exchange the former receives from the latter the best collateral within the most actively traded European repo market.
3 years after its creation, ECB’s President Trichet quoted:
"The growing repo market is still somewhat less integrated than the unsecured segment which is fully integrated, but integration progresses. The creation of the EUREPO® index - the benchmark for secured money market transactions in the euro area - three years ago was an important market initiative for promoting the repo market’s integration. Anecdotal evidence collected via market survey from counterparties active in the repo market suggests that the share of euro area cross-border transactions increased further to around 30% in December 2004." (New York, 19 April 2005).
