The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) has appointed the National Stock Exchange of
India (NSE) to act as a consultant for the implementation of a Risk Management
System and a Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) system for the settlement of all
secondary market transactions in equity securities traded on the CSE.
DVP is one of the best practices advocated by the International Organization of
Securities Commissions (IOSCO). It is a mechanism which is effective in minimizing
risk and currently has been implemented in all leading bourses. By implementing DVP,
both the ownership transfer and payment for securities will occur simultaneously, thus
minimizing risk. The implementation of DVP and risk management practices is to be
completed in mid-2012 and will be a first step towards transforming the CSE into a
modern exchange on par with the most developed global exchanges.
NSE would be acting as a consultant throughout the implementation process. The NSE
is considered a leading exchange in a global context. As one of its pioneering
innovations, the NSE set up the first clearing corporation in India-"National Securities
Clearing Corporation Limited" (NSCCL). NSCCL was a landmark in providing
innovation on all spot equity market and derivatives market trades in India.
The new developments in risk mitigation would contribute to the enhancement of
market efficiency and help the CSE in the transition from frontier to emerging market
status in the future. Commenting on the initiatives, Chairman CSE, Krishan Balendra
said “The introduction of a progressive risk management model will certainly aid the
transformation of the CSE. In addition to size and liquidity, post-trade risk mitigation
features prominently on leading market index selection criteria. As a frontier market,
our transition to the more accepted emerging market level depends on these
enhancements”.
Commenting on the initiatives Joint Managing Director NSE, Ms. Chitra Ramkrishna
said "NSE has a long-standing relationship with the Colombo Stock Exchange through
multiple initiatives. We will assist CSE in setting up market infrastructure and
implementing global best practices that enables CSE to further strengthen market
safety and integrity, thereby creating the platform to offer globally benchmarked
products and services ".
The strategy for implementation of risk plans at the CSE envisions an extensive
consultation process with market participants, custodians, investors and regulators.
For the successful completion of the process brokers and other participants would have
to take steps to convert to the new settlement mechanism and risk management
practices. This would entail meeting necessary technical requirements, streamlining of
back office operations, participating in related training and adopting of certain
procedures in particular with respect to the maintaining of liquid assets for margining
requirements.
