The Governor of the Bank of France issued Decision No. 2025-03 to amend the harmonised conditions for participation in the TARGET system, specifically expanding eligibility to include non-bank payment service providers and investment firms. The decision introduces strict maximum holding limits for these new participants, mandating daily reporting and imposing financial penalties for non-compliance with balance caps. Additionally, it updates the framework for intraday credit facilities, defining eligible collateral, automatic access mechanisms for central counterparties, and suspension procedures for credit lines.
