港交所(00388.HK)料最快2022年首季推Synapse平台 冀加快結算、降低門檻等
港交所(00388.HK)交易後業務主管蘇盈盈在線上記者會上指,現時滬深港通北向交易面對結算挑戰,包括是結算窗口緊迫問題,由於滬深港通結算採用T+0,但香港和國際市場多數採用T+2結算流程,參與者往往需要特別就滬深港通自行制定解決方案以配合結算需要。
她續指現時參與者亦面對營運風險,因為各種各樣的專設解決方案不少涉及人手處理,增加了處理工作的負荷和營運風險,此外參與者由於不能實時瀏覽結算狀態,面對特殊情況需要特別處理時,可使用的時間不多。
她指出港交所宣布將推交易結算加速平台HKEX Synapse,當中使用了DAML的智能合約技術,配合API及一般國際投資者都有使用的SWIFT,相信可增加流程的透明度,令不同的參與者都能實時、一次過知道所需訊息,並可透過Synapse下交易後指令。
她期望推出平台後可令參與門檻降低,方便國際投資者進行交易,而平台同時可為投資者爭取時間,提供高效及安全的服務,由於T+0下投資者面對時間緊迫的挑戰,故後場亦要更多人手滿足緊迫的時間,故相信如有Synapse對時間及人手都有幫助。
她指出Synapse平台無使用到分布式分類帳技術(DLT),主要因為投資者較想要DAML方面的技術,估計現時的方案已可滿足投資者在交易後的需要,她又認為區塊鏈對交易所亦是新嘗試,如日後有項目可用得著DLT技術亦會考慮。
她表示Synapse暫時主要針對滬深港通北向交易,料15個月後推出,最快2022年第一季可以使用,交易所會在明年首季左右開始不同測試。至於平台會否拓展至港股市場,她指出現時港股屬T+2故有足夠時間,將來則要考慮交易後場及交易所的三年計劃等。
