5 16 17 Free Prices Website Service to be expanded and repackaged to Basic Market Prices Service Establishment of Clearing House for Over-the-counter (OTC) Derivatives Traded in Hong Kong The Basic Market Prices (BMP) Service was successfully launched on 1 April HKEx started providing investors with real-time basic prices from the securities and derivatives markets through a wider range of information vendors which can then offer the data on interactive platforms such as websites and mobile applications. As of early April 2011, there were 23 websites and 10 mobile applications offering the BMP Service. HKEx has decided to establish a clearing house by the end of 2012 for derivatives traded in Hong Kong s OTC market. Interest rate derivatives and non-deliverable forwards will be the initial products handled. The clearing house will be run independently of HKEx s other clearing houses. HKEx is devising the detailed operating model and risk management framework and will start discussions with market participants in the coming months. HKEx has issued a Request for Information inviting IT vendors to submit responses for an OTC clearing system solution. The BMP service has been well received by the market and is currently available through a total of 28 websites and 12 mobile applications. Under the BMP service, listed companies can display their real-time stock prices on their websites. HKEx expects more BMP services to be provided on different platforms in the near future. HKEx is in the process of devising the detailed business model and risk management framework for the clearing of OTC interest rate swaps and non-deliverable forwards. HKEx has developed a master plan for setting up the OTC market infrastructure in conjunction with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and has begun to meet with OTC market participants in the past few months to outline the service scope and project implementation plan. In early June 2011, HKEx issued a Request for Proposal inviting leading vendors to submit proposals for implementing the core OTC clearing platform. HKEx is also engaging an international law firm to advise on regulatory and legal issues in relation to the OTC clearing initiative. Notes: AMS/3, the Third Generation Automatic Order Matching and Execution System, is the trading system for the securities market. CCASS/3, the Latest Generation Central Clearing and Settlement System, and the Market Data System, or MDS, are the other major market systems supporting the securities market. HKATS, the Hong Kong Futures Automated Trading System, is the trading system for the derivatives market. DCASS, the Derivatives Clearing and Settlement System, and PRS, the Price Reporting System, are the other major market systems for the derivatives market. Information is added after the date at the top of the column from time to time. 56 Exchange July 2011
