Based on the public data from the first full year of SFTR reporting, this special report looks at some of the key trends and features of the European repo market. The first part of the report covers the period from the initial reporting go-live in July 2020 until January 2021 for the whole EU-28 market. The second part of the report focuses on the period after the end of the post-Brexit transition, from 1 January 2021 to July 2021, distinguishing accordingly between the EU-27 and the UK market segments. While the quality of SFTR data has improved since the reporting start, there are still significant challenges with the data, which are briefly explained in the final section.
