Slovenia: Investor-CSD link activation for the Slovenian market (KDD)

05.08.2024

As a next milestone in implementing its enhanced Investor-CSD solution, effective

21 October 2024 and 25 November 2024

LuxCSD1 informs clients about the activation of its direct link to Clearstream Banking AG for securities issued by Centralna klirinško depotna družba d.d (KDD, the Slovenian domestic CSD) eligible for T2S.

The securities to be eligible for holding in LuxCSD are, but not limited to:

  • Government bonds;
  • Corporate bonds;
  • Listed equities;
  • Ordinary shares;
  • Warrants.

Security eligibility activation

To ensure all Slovenian ECMS securities remain mobilised and eligible for the ECMS go-live on 18 November 2024, LuxCSD will proceed with the activation of securities in two phases:

  • Phase one where all ECMS eligible securities will be activated on Monday, 21 October 2024; and
  • Phase two where all remaining securities will be activated Monday, 25 November 2024.

LuxCSD will publish the final list of ISINs for each phase of activation in advance.

The access to KDD-eligible securities may require system changes, especially in the areas of asset servicing and connectivity. 

LuxCSD reminds clients that technical specifications related to Swift are available in the Market Link Guide, which will be available on the website in due time.
