Spain: Custody & Settlement

A special report prepared by Chemical Bank and The Chase Manhattan Bank NA.

A EUROMONEY SURVEY – MARCH 1996

SETTLEMENT

There are three different securities settlement operations in Spain: the Bank of Spain’s Central de Anotaciones for public debt, Espaclear for corporate debt and the stock market’s Servicio de Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores (SCL) for share settlement.

Share settlement

The creation of the Servicio de Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, the settlement and registration system in Spain which began operating in December 1992, means that the country now has a paperless, computerized, centralized and fully fungible electronic system for registration and settlement of all shares quoted on the Spanish stock exchanges.
