How has readiness shifted across the region?
Our latest Accelerated settlements: T+1 in the EU, UK and Switzerland research provides the broadest and clearest picture yet of readiness, dependencies and potential misalignment across the region.
Based on feedback from more than 600 market participants, the findings show how firms are progressing as the transition moves closer to execution.
Key findings include:
• Engagement is high across the EU, UK and Switzerland
• Full readiness remains limited
• More key milestones are shifting into 2027
• Investor development work remains uneven
• Service provider readiness is still a concern
The research is sponsored by Clearstream, DTCC, Euroclear, SIX, and the UK Accelerated Settlement Taskforce.
It is supported by ISSA, EFAMA, ISITC, ISLA, IA – The Investment Association, AFME, ECSDA, UK Finance and Swiss SPTC.
