HKMA and HKEX eye one-stop multi-asset post-trade hub

It will cover Mainland and Hong Kong equities and debt.

Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s CMU OmniClear Holdings Limited and Hong Kong Exchange will study a one-stop, multi-asset post-trade infrastructure covering Mainland and Hong Kong equities and debt.

The system aims to enable cross-product and cross-border collateral connectivity, link with global central securities depositories, and support liquidity and risk management, said Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary, during the 2026-27 Budget delivery.

The Central Bank of the UAE has joined CMU, which will also connect with Switzerland’s SIX and launch equity post-trade services.

OmniClear plans a digital asset platform this year to handle issuance and settlement of digital bonds, with expansion to other digital assets and regional tokenisation platforms.
