Solution

The MoU between RBI and BoE aims to establish a framework for the Bank of England to place reliance on RBI’s regulatory and supervisory activities concerning CCIL. This cooperation is intended to facilitate CCIL's recognition as a third-country Central Counterparty (CCP), which is a prerequisite for UK-based banks to clear transactions through CCIL.
