- Final answer
-
Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are to be treated as debt securities as long as they are negotiable and with the exception of those sold exclusively in the retail market and held in a retail account as outlined in Article 28(6) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61, in which case those instruments can be treated as the appropriate retail deposit category. Non-negotiable CDs should be treated as deposits of the relevant category.
