HKMA Letter on Banking Sector Preparedness for Accelerated Settlement in Hong Kong Cash Equity Market

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority urges authorized institutions to make early preparations for the potential transition of the Hong Kong cash equity market from a T+2 to a T+1 settlement cycle. The regulator advises institutions to assess operational, liquidity, and client service impacts while allocating sufficient resources to enhance systems and infrastructure. Authorized institutions are expected to collaborate closely with HKEX and other market participants, including active participation in industry-wide testing, to ensure a smooth transition.
