Central Counterparty (CCP)

A Central Counterparty (CCP) is a financial market infrastructure organisation that interposes itself between counterparties to contracts traded in financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer. This reduces counterparty risk, ensuring the smooth settlement of transactions.

Examples of CCP’s include:

LCH Ltd (London Clearing House) – UK

Eurex Clearing – Germany

DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) – USA

JSCC (Japan Securities Clearing Corporation) – Japan

ASX Clear – Australia

HKEX OTC Clearing – Hong Kong

These CCPs play a critical role in mitigating counterparty risk and ensuring financial market stability.
