customers of Clearstream Banking 1 that have subscribed to Clearstream´s Domestic Markets Monitoring Report (DMMR) can access the most recent version of the report through a dedicated closed user access section of the Clearstream website.

How to access the DMMR

For each market, the respective DMMR can be viewed under the section Products and Services/Market coverage at the bottom of each country page.

Customers can choose to display the PDF report on an individual market basis or as a whole, covering the more than 90 links across 54 markets that Clearstream is currently maintaining.

Existing subscribers are granted with access to the DMMR pages automatically as long as they are already registered users of the Clearstream website2.

New report subscribers will have to register as Clearstream website users to be provided with the closed user group access upon receipt of their valid DMMR subscription form and indication of their personal corporate email address (access through a group email address is not possible).

How to subscribe to the service

The DMMR subscription form can also be found on the Clearstream website under Key Documents/ICSD/Account opening forms or customers can request it from their Relationship Officer. A sample report can be provided to customers upon request.

Background of the DMMR

The Domestic Markets Monitoring Report was initially launched in May 2014 to support the due diligence obligations and the regulatory related functions that a customer may be required to perform, particularly where, for example, it is acting as a “depositary bank” under AIFMD3  or UCITS V4.

The report supplements existing materials by providing additional reporting on the domestic market links maintained by Clearstream Banking S.A. (Creation) and those maintained by Clearstream Banking AG (CASCADE).

Further information

For further information, customers may contact Clearstream Banking Client Services or their Relationship Officer.
