The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) have released a joint consultation conclusion, proposing amendments to the *Securities and Futures (OTC Derivative Transactions—Clearing and Record Keeping Obligations and Designation of Central Counterparties) Rules*. The aim is to standardize the calculation periods for mandatory clearing obligations of OTC derivatives. According to the proposal, starting from March 1, 2027, two fixed calculation periods will be adopted annually (March 1 to May 31, and September 1 to November 30). This change is intended to simplify the current practice of periodically revising the calculation period list, enhancing market participants' planning and compliance efficiency. https://(wublock123.com)/news/hk-sfc-and-pa-standardize-otc-derivatives-settlement-period-62266
