SGX seeks opinion on proposed CDP margining framework and clearing fund changes

Amongst the changes proposed include the introduction of margin offsets.

Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) is seeking market opinion on the proposed changes to the Central Depository’s (CDP) margining framework and Clearing Fund.

The public consultation can be found on SGX Group’s website and will close on 5 December 2022.

“CDP collects margins and Clearing Fund contributions to mitigate the impact a Clearing Member default could have on the rest of the financial system,” SGX RegCo explained.

The proposed margin changes include the introduction of margin offsets, enhancement of anti-procyclicality measures, and offering differentiated margin rates for groups of securities with different risk profiles.

Meanwhile, proposed changes on the clearing fund include the deferment of the use of Clearing Members’ contingent contributions until after all other sources of the Clearing Fund have been used; changing the approach for sizing the Clearing Fund and Clearing Members’ contribution; placement of a cap on Clearing Members’ Clearing Fund liability.

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.
