      March 2024
      The Eurosystem conducts a three-monthly qualitative survey on credit terms and
      conditions in euro-denominated securities financing and over-the-counter (OTC)
      derivatives markets.
    • The survey questions are grouped into three sections:
      1.

      counterparty types ? credit terms and conditions for various counterparty
      types in both securities financing and OTC derivatives markets;

      2.

      securities financing ? financing conditions for various collateral types;

      3.

      non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives ? credit terms and conditions for
      various derivative types.

    • The survey focuses on euro-denominated instruments in securities financing and
      OTC derivatives markets.
    • For securities financing, the survey refers to the
      euro-denominated securities against which financing is provided, rather than the
      currency of the loan.
    • Reporting institutions should report on their global credit terms, so the survey is
      aimed at senior credit officers responsible for maintaining an overview of the
      management of credit risks.

      Overall credit terms and conditions eased between December 2023 and
