Provisions for the liquidity assessment for bonds and for the determination of the pre-trade size specific to the instrument thresholds based on trade percentiles
Corporate bonds and covered bonds that are admitted to trading or first traded on a trading venue shall be considered to have a liquid market until the application of the results of the first quarterly liquidity determination as set out in Article 13(18) where:
the issuance size exceeds EUR 1 000 000 000 during stages S1 and S2, as determined in accordance with paragraph 6;
the issuance size exceeds EUR 500 000 000 during stages S3 and S4, as determined in accordance with paragraph 6.
For determining the size specific to the financial instrument for the purposes of Article 5 and according to the methodology specified under Article 13(2), points (b)(ii) to (iv), the approach for the trade percentile to be applied shall be used applying the trade percentile corresponding to the stage S1 (30th percentile).
The assessment referred to in paragraph 4 shall take into account:
the evolution of trading volumes in non-equity instruments covered by the pre-trade transparency obligations pursuant to Article 8 and 9 of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014;

ANNEX I
Description of the type of system and the related information to be made public in accordance with Article 2
Type of system |
Description of system |
Information to be made public |
Continuous auction order book trading system |
A system that by means of an order book and a trading algorithm operated without human intervention matches sell orders with buy orders on the basis of the best available price on a continuous basis. |
For each financial instrument, the aggregate number of orders and the volume they represent at each price level, for at least the five best bid and offer price levels. |
Quote-driven trading system |
A system where transactions are concluded on the basis of firm quotes that are continuously made available to participants, which requires the market makers to maintain quotes in a size that balances the needs of members and participants to deal in a commercial size and the risk to which the market maker exposes itself. |
For each financial instrument, the best bid and offer by price of each market maker in that instrument, together with the volumes attaching to those prices. The quotes made public shall be those that represent binding commitments to buy and sell the financial instruments and which indicate the price and volume of financial instruments in which the registered market makers are prepared to buy or sell. In exceptional market conditions, however, indicative or one-way prices may be allowed for a limited time. |
Periodic auction trading system |
A system that matches orders on the basis of a periodic auction and a trading algorithm operated without human intervention. |
For each financial instrument, the price at which the auction trading system would best satisfy its trading algorithm and the volume that would potentially be executable at that price by participants in that system. |
Request-for-quote trading system |
A trading system where a quote or quotes are provided in response to a request for a quote submitted by one or more other members or participants. The quote is executable exclusively by the requesting member or market participant. The requesting member or participant may conclude a transaction by accepting the quote or quotes provided to it on request. |
The quotes and the attaching volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules. All submitted quotes in response to a request for quote may be published at the same time but not later than when they become executable. |
Voice trading system |
A trading system where transactions between members are arranged through voice negotiation. |
The bids and offers and the attaching volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules. |
Hybrid trading system |
A system falling into two or more of the types of trading systems referred to in rows 1 to 5 of this Table. |
For hybrid trading systems that combine different trading systems at the same time, the requirements correspond to the pre-trade trade transparency requirements applicable to each type of trading system that forms the hybrid system. For hybrid trading systems that combine two or more trading systems subsequently, the requirements correspond to the pre-trade transparency requirements applicable to the respective trading system operated at a particular point in time. |
Any other trading system |
Any other type of trading system not covered by rows 1 to 6. |
Adequate information as to the level of orders or quotes and of trading interest; in particular, the five best bid and offer price levels and/or two-way quotes of each market maker in the instrument, if the characteristics of the price discovery mechanism so permit. |

Inflation ‘single currency swaps’ and futures/forwards/ options on Inflation ‘single currency swaps’ a swap or a future/forward/option on a swap where two parties exchange cash flows denominated in the same currency and where the cash flows of at least one leg are determined by an inflation rate RTS2#3 = DERV RTS2#4 = INTR RTS2#5 = SWAP or FONS or FWOS or OPTS RTS2#16 = IFSC |
an inflation single currency sub-class is defined by the following segmentation criteria: Segmentation criterion 1 (RTS23#13) — notional currency in which the two legs of the swap are denominated Segmentation criterion 2 (RTS2#8)— time to maturity bucket of the swap defined as follows: Maturity bucket 1: 0 < time to maturity ≤ 1 month Maturity bucket 2: 1 month < time to maturity ≤ 3 months Maturity bucket 3: 3 months < time to maturity ≤ 6 months Maturity bucket 4: 6 months < time to maturity ≤ 1 year Maturity bucket 5: 1 year < time to maturity ≤ 2 years Maturity bucket 6: 2 years < time to maturity ≤ 3 years … Maturity bucket m: (n-1) years < time to maturity ≤ n years |

The underlying index is considered to have a liquid market: (1) during the whole period of its ‘on-the-run status’ (2) for the first 30 working days of its ‘1x off-the-run status’ ‘on-the-run’ index means the rolling most recent version (series) of the index created on the date on which the composition of the index is effective and ending one day prior to the date on which the composition of the next version (series) of the index is effective. ‘1x off-the-run status’ means the version (series) of the index which is immediately prior to the current ‘on-the-run’ version (series) at a certain point in time. A version (series) ceases being ‘on-the-run’ and acquires its ‘1x off-the-run’ status when the latest version (series) of the index is created. |
Single name credit default swap (CDS) a swap whose exchange of cash flows is linked to the creditworthiness of one issuer of financial instruments and the occurrence of credit events RTS2#3 = DERV RTS2#4 = CRDT |
a single name credit default swap sub-class is defined by the following segmentation criteria: Segmentation criterion 1 (RTS2#41) — underlying reference entity Segmentation criterion 2 (RTS2#39) — underlying reference entity type defined as follows: ‘Issuer of sovereign and public type’ means an issuer entity which is either: (a) the Union; (b) a Member State including a government department, an agency or a special purpose vehicle of a Member State; (c) a sovereign entity which is not listed under points (a) and (b); (d) in the case of a federal Member State, a member of that federation; (e) a special purpose vehicle for several Member States; (f) an international financial institution established by two or more Member States which have the purpose of mobilising funding and providing financial assistance to the benefit of its members that are experiencing or are threatened by severe financial problems; (g) the European Investment Bank; (h) a public entity which is not a sovereign issuer as specified in the points (a) to (c). ‘Issuer of corporate type’ means an issuer entity which is not an issuer of sovereign and public type. Segmentation criterion 3 (RTS2#42) — notional currency defined as the currency in which the notional amount of the derivative is denominated Segmentation criterion 4 (RTS2#8) — time to maturity bucket of the CDS defined as follows: Maturity bucket 1: 0 < time to maturity ≤ 1 year Maturity bucket 2: 1 year < time to maturity ≤ 2 years Maturity bucket 3: 2 years < time to maturity ≤ 3 years … Maturity bucket m: (n-1) years < time to maturity ≤ n years |

For the purpose of the determination of the classes of financial instruments considered not to have a liquid market as per Articles 6 and 8(1)(b), each sub-asset class shall be further segmented into sub-classes as defined below |
Each sub-class shall be determined not to have a liquid market as per Articles 6 and 8(1)(b) if it does not meet the following qualitative liquidity criterion |
||
CDS index options an option whose underlying is a CDS index RTS2#3 = DERV RTS2#4 = CRDT |
a CDS index option sub-class is defined by the following segmentation criteria: Segmentation criterion 1 (RTS23#26) — CDS index sub-class as specified for the sub-asset class of index credit default swap (CDS) Segmentation criterion 2 (RTS2#8) — time to maturity bucket of the option defined as follows: Maturity bucket 1: 0 < time to maturity ≤ 6 months Maturity bucket 2: 6 months < time to maturity ≤ 1 year Maturity bucket 3: 1 year < time to maturity ≤ 2 years Maturity bucket 4: 2 years < time to maturity ≤ 3 years … Maturity bucket m: (n-1) years < time to maturity ≤ n years |
a CDS index option whose underlying CDS index is a sub-class determined to have a liquid market and whose time to maturity bucket is 0-6 months is considered to have a liquid market a CDS index option whose underlying CDS index is a sub-class determined to have a liquid market and whose time to maturity bucket is not 0-6 months is not considered to have a liquid market a CDS index option whose underlying CDS index is a sub-class determined not to have a liquid market is not considered to have a liquid market for any given time to maturity bucket |
||
Single name CDS options an option whose underly-ing is a single name CDS RTS2#3 = DERV RTS2#4 = CRDT |
a single name CDS option sub-class is defined by the following segmentation criteria: Segmentation criterion 1 (RTS23#26) — single name CDS sub-class as specified for the sub-asset class of single name CDS Segmentation criterion 2 (RTS2#8) — time to maturity bucket of the option defined as follows: Maturity bucket 1: 0 < time to maturity ≤ 6 months Maturity bucket 2: 6 months < time to maturity ≤ 1 year Maturity bucket 3: 1 year < time to maturity ≤ 2 years Maturity bucket 4: 2 years < time to maturity ≤ 3 years … Maturity bucket m: (n-1) years < time to maturity ≤ n years |
a single name CDS option whose underlying single name CDS is a sub-class determined to have a liquid market and whose time to maturity bucket is 0-6 months is considered to have a liquid market a single name CDS option whose underlying single name CDS is a sub-class determined to have a liquid market and whose time to maturity bucket is not 0-6 months is not considered to have a liquid market a single name CDS option whose underlying single name CDS is a sub-class determined not to have a liquid market is not considered to have a liquid market for any given time to maturity bucket |
