      The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s securities markets regulator, today launches a consultation paper (CP)
 examining the potential extension of the list of financial instruments 
eligible for investments by CCPs under EMIR, including EU Money Market 
Funds (MMFs).
The consultation paper (CP) explores the benefits and
 disadvantages of the potential inclusion of financial instruments that 
are considered highly liquid with minimal market and credit risk. It 
also looks at whether the inclusion of MMFs is authorised under the EU 
Money Market Funds Regulation (MMFR).  
Next steps
ESMA  will consider the responses it receives to this consultation 
paper by 24 January 2022 and expects to publish a final report in Spring
 2022. This CP will primarily be of interest to EU central 
counterparties, their clearing members and clients of those clearing 
members.
