13th December 2024 | Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) will implement improvements to post-trade services starting from mid-2025, and able to support T+1 settlement cycle by the end of 2025. HKEX (12/12/24): “Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) is pleased to announce today (Thursday) that it is embarking on a multi-year post-trade services enhancement programme for its cash equities market, reflecting the Group’s ongoing commitment to build future-ready market infrastructure. Starting from mid-2025, new features will be progressively added to the Orion Cash Platform (OCP), HKEX’s integrated cash market platform, to provide more advanced, reliable and efficient post-trade services for the securities market. New features include automated post-trade report download and information exchange, as well as enabling real-time transmission and processing of trade data, related positions and reference data, and real-time matching of settlement instructions. As part of the enhancement programme, HKEX’s post-trade systems will become technically ready to support a T+1 settlement cycle by the end of 2025, though any future changes to Hong Kong’s settlement cycle will be subject to extensive market engagement. HKEX will progressively introduce these new post-trade features and services on OCP, with respective release dates to be announced in due course. Meanwhile, HKEX will continue to provide core post-trade processing through its Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS). HKEX will engage with stakeholders and market participants on the future of CCASS as the new OCP post-trade features progressively become available … … Earlier this year, HKEX also announced plans to develop the new Orion Derivatives Platform (ODP) for Hong Kong’s derivatives market. The ODP and OCP development demonstrate the Group’s strategic focus on building the long-term resilience of Hong Kong’s market infrastructure with technology developed in-house. For more details on HKEX’s post-trade services enhancements scheduled for 2025 – 2027, please refer to the circular published today.”
