Daily timetable for clearing and settlement (based on the Article 360 of SKDD Procedures) will be amended so that periodic processing batches within the settlement system will be carried out at intervals of every 15 minutes.
2.Transaction-related changes
With the amendments to SKDD Procedures (point 8.5.3.3.3), SKDD will allow its members to independently:
- Cancel “off-the-market” settlement transactions that have secured sale
