Thomas Murray Provides Independent Validation to Chile’s Depósito Central de Valores S.A (DCV) on their CPMI-IOSCO PFMIs Level of Observance

 

Thomas Murray, the specialist research, rating and risk information firm, has provided an independent third-party view in respect of the level of observance of the Depósito Central de Valores (DCV) on the CPMI-IOSCO Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMIs). Infrastructures are expected to undertake regular self-assessments in order to establish their degree of compliance with the PFMIs, using the Disclosure Framework and Assessment Methodology published in 2012.

 

The results of the analysis show that, DCV is ‘broadly’ observant overall of the CPMI-IOSCO PFMIs. Of the 24 Principles, DCV ‘fully’ observes 6, ‘broadly’ observes 8, ‘partly’ observes 2 and there are 8 Principles not applicable to DCV’s operations . There are no Principles that DCV does not observe.

 

Thomas Murray Data Services used its Capital Market Self-Assessment (CMSA) tool that helps Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) complete the self-assessment required by CPMI-IOSCO. The questionnaire is completed by the infrastructure entities.

 

Simon Thomas, CEO and Chief Ratings Officer of Thomas Murray said: “Thomas Murray is pleased to have worked with DCV in providing our view in terms of the level of observance on CPMI-IOSCO’s principles. Our analysis shows that DCV fully observes many of the principles established in the framework established by CPMI IOSCO for Financial Market Infrastructures. There are a few areas that have been identified where some effort needs to be undertaken to fully observe the principles. We look forward to continuing working with DCV. ”

 

Fernando Yañez, Chief Executive Officer of DCV, said “The exercise with Thomas Murray was very helpful in understanding DCV’s level of Observance from an external and independent expert. We will work internally and with the regulators to try to reduce the gaps in order to increase our level of observance in the future. ”
