FINANCIAL MARKETS INFRASTRUCTURE (FMI)

Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) refers to the infrastructure, systems, and processes that facilitate the functioning of financial markets. It includes entities such as stock exchanges, clearinghouses, central securities depositories, and payment systems that play crucial roles in the trading, clearing, settlement, and custody of financial instruments. FMIs provide the necessary infrastructure for smooth and efficient transactions, risk mitigation, and the overall stability of the financial system. FMCT ensure that trades are executed accurately, payments are settled promptly, and counterparty risks are managed effectively.

Market Infrastructure

These markets operate within a robust infrastructure that facilitates trading, pricing, and settlement of financial instruments. This includes exchanges (such as stock exchanges), trading platforms, clearinghouses, settlement systems, and regulatory bodies. The infrastructure ensures transparency, fairness, and efficiency in market operations.

Trading and Execution

Stock markets and OTC markets provide platforms for the buying and selling of financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, derivatives, and commodities. At FMCT, we offer various trading mechanisms, including auctions, continuous trading, and electronic trading, allowing market participants to execute transactions. Market participants, such as brokers and dealers, play a crucial role in facilitating trades and providing liquidity.

Clearing and Settlement

Clearing and settlement processes are crucial for financial markets. Clearing involves validating and matching trades, while settlement refers to transferring ownership and exchanging funds. Clearinghouses act as intermediaries, managing counterparty risks, and ensuring trade performance. Settlement systems ensure accurate and timely completion of transactions, including securities transfer and fund settlement.

Regulatory Framework

The stock market, OTC markets, and clearing and settlement operations are governed by a comprehensive regulatory framework. Regulatory authorities establish rules to ensure market integrity, protect investors, and maintain fair and efficient markets. Compliance with these regulations is crucial to ensure transparency, investor protection, and overall financial system stability.
