EU agrees to shorten securities settlement cycle to T+1 under CSDR amendment

The change, proposed by the European Commission on 12 February 2025, aims to improve post-trade efficiency, align EU practices with global markets, and enhance the competitiveness of EU capital markets. An exemption will apply to certain securities financing transactions (SFTs), provided they are documented as single transactions comprising two linked operations. The new rules are expected to be formally adopted and will apply from 11 October 2027.
