Assessment of ASX Clearing and Settlement Facilities - September 2026
The Reserve Bank of Australia rates ASX Clearing and Settlement facilities as having 'observed' or 'broadly observed' many Financial Stability Standards, while finding they 'partly observed' requirements for Governance, Framework for Comprehensive Management of Risks, Credit Risk, and Operational Risk. The Reserve Bank upgraded ASX Clear and ASX Settlement from 'not observed' to 'partly observed' against the Operational Risk Standard due to strengthened CHESS resourcing and contingency arrangements following the December 2024 batch settlement incident. The Reserve Bank has set clear expectations for ASX's Transformation Portfolio to address longstanding shortfalls in governance, capability, culture, and risk management to meet the standards expected of critical market infrastructure operators.
