Navneet Kaur, business line treasurer, portfolio management at Barclays, said: “DTCC’s new LCR Data Service has significantly enhanced our ability to understand buffer requirements. DTCC’s completeness of data coverage in this market has made its solution very comprehensive.”
“When banks issue facilities to corporates to provide liquidity against outstanding CP they don’t always have a precise view of when the underlying corporates’ CP obligations are due,” said Ron Jordan, managing director of data services at DTCC.
“The LCR Data Service allows banks to receive overnight delivery of aggregated maturities based on outstanding CP market positions, and refine buffer requirements relevant to market exposure, thus allowing banks to manage their business more efficiently while complying with liquidity coverage mandates.”
