Changes to the Eurosystem collateral framework

On 27 November 2024 the Governing Council approved a number of technical changes to the Eurosystem collateral framework, discontinuing the eligibility of certain asset types that were temporarily made eligible or that were not actually used and integrating into the general framework certain temporary asset types. These changes are in line with the outcome of the recently concluded operational framework review and will help ensure that the ECB’s policy implementation remains effective, robust, flexible and efficient in the future. More detailed information is provided in a related press release available on the ECB’s website.
