Why does Europe need T2S?Why does Europe need T2S?
Europes securities markets are too fragmented and
inefficient.
Europe needs a single pool of securities to stimulate
competition and harmonisation.
There is no other realistic Europe-wide approach to creating
this single pool.
Making Europe a better place to invest and trade (in line with
the Lisbon agenda)

T2S will be a single IT platform enabling settlement of
securities in central bank money in the euro area/EU/EEA.
CSDs will delocalise their securities accounts to T2S, which
will perform the processing of their settlement instructions on
these accounts.
CSDs will keep their customer base and continue to perform
non-settlement related functions (e.g. issuance, corporate actions,
custody, etc.).
Settlement in commercial bank money is out of the scope of
T2S
