Singapore Exchange lists Credit Suisse to clear OTC financial derivatives

Credit Suisse also seen to strengthen SGX’s capabilities in the interbank interest rate swap market.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Wednesday welcomes Credit Suisse AG to its SGX AsiaClear service as SGX Bank Clearing Member for the clearing of over-the-counter (OTC) traded financial derivatives, according to an SGX report.

Mr Muthukrishnan Ramaswami, President of Singapore Exchange, said, “We welcome Credit Suisse to SGX. With the addition of Credit Suisse, we now have a total of 10 bank clearing members that are active in the OTC traded financial derivatives. Following our launch on 15 November, we are seeing more global and regional banks coming forth with interest to participate in our clearing service. Banks see benefits in using SGX’s central counterparty clearing services to reduce counterparty risk and facilitate their business growth.”

Credit Suisse is delighted to have become a clearing member of SGX’s OTC financial derivatives clearing service, which strengthens our capabilities in the interbank interest rate swap market,” said Lito Camacho, Vice Chairman for Asia Pacific and Singapore CEO, Credit Suisse. “By pioneering exchange-based derivatives clearing in Asia Pacific, the SGX has underlined Singapore’s status as an innovative regional financial centre. The introduction of this service helps reduce systemic risk in the swap markets and Credit Suisse looks forward to working with the SGX as it develops clearing services for a greater range of OTC derivatives.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
