CLS settles a range of major and emerging market currency pairs. Firms that use CLS to settle FX transactions can mitigate their settlement risk.

CLS operates as a monopoly in the global FX markets, however Hong Kong’s main securities and derivatives market place launched a new FX NDF Clearing solution last month.

Note: CLS reports both sides of an FX transaction. To adjust the average daily value data to equate to the same reporting convention used by the Bank for International Settlements and the semi-annual foreign Exchange committee market reports, the gross values should be divided by two.
