Post-trade settlement efficiency refers to the speed, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of processes that occur after a trade is executed, leading to the final transfer of assets and funds between parties. Enhancements in this area aim to reduce operational risks, lower capital requirements, and shorten settlement cycles. This involves optimizing activities such as clearing, netting, and reconciliation. Improved efficiency is crucial for maintaining liquid and stable financial markets.
