BMV Launches Central Counterparty Clearing for Bonos M

Regulatory approval allows the CCV to start with Bonos M as a precursor to broader coverage of debt and repo trades.

Overview

  • The Bolsa Mexicana de Valores activated its Contraparte Central de Valores for the debt market, beginning with compensation and settlement of Bonos M.
  • The CCV interposes between buyers and sellers to guarantee trades, cutting counterparty risk and supporting continuity during volatility.
  • The model removes the need for bilateral credit lines between banks and brokerages, opening participation to more firms, including international investors.
  • Standardized clearing and netting are designed to reduce errors, lower amounts to settle, free liquidity and improve balance-sheet efficiency.
  • BMV is onboarding banks and broker-dealers as clearing members in an orderly rollout, with future phases planned for other government debt and repo operations.
