Singapore Moves to Shorten Settlement Cycle
Singapore currently has T+3 settlement, in which a transaction completes no later than three days after a deal is struck. It will move to T+2 by 2016, says the joint consultation paper, which will be open for comment for 12 weeks.
In the same release, the two bodies also updated their collateral guidelines, the introduction of a short-selling reporting regime, new measures over transparency and listing admissions changes.
"This joint consultation and enhancements to SGX's regulatory tools encompass structural and regulatory aspects crucial to a well-functioning securities market," says Magnus Bocker, CEO at SGX. "Today's world is fast-changing and we need to strengthen Singapore's securities market to meet the expectations of investors and companies."
