This report will evaluate the necessity for adjustments to the existing regulatory framework that governs the market for Collective Investment Undertakings (CIUs) featuring solely euro-denominated sovereign bonds from Member States.

Importantly, the report will assess the relationship between the composition of these CIUs and the proportional capital contributions of each Member State to the European Central Bank (ECB). Such modifications aim to enhance market operations and facilitate bank engagements with these specific asset classes.
