The Astana Financial Services Authority has designated Clearing Participation Certificates to be issued by International Trading System Limited as a Qualified Investment under the Astana International Financial Centre Multilateral and Organised Trading Facilities Rules. Following its public consultation, the decision introduces a standardized collateral instrument intended to help clearing members mobilize eligible assets held in a segregated pool and obtain short term liquidity through repo transactions on ITS’s regulated market infrastructure. The framework aims to improve collateral mobility and netting efficiency while controlling liquidity, market, credit, operational and collateral adequacy risks. Safeguards include asset eligibility criteria, valuation and haircut requirements, margining, concentration controls, default management and transparency requirements. The designation is also subject to specific regulatory conditions and limitations intended to manage risks as the product develops.
