Strate, together with the JSE, hosted its international roadshow in London during September 2014. The event, which was held at the London Stock Exchange, focused largely on South Africa’s Markets and updates pertaining to the activities of the country’s Central Securities Depository and the Stock Exchange.
In her presentation to clients, Strate CEO Monica Singer highlighted aspects of South Africa’s success story and also provided an overview of Strate and its projects. This was followed by an update from the JSE, where Brett Kotze as the Head of Operations: Clearing & Settlement at the JSE provided information about the stock exchange’s T+3 project for equities, which aims to shorten the settlement cycle from five business days to three business days.
The session concluded with a panel discussion among members of the South African Market’s Infrastructure and the Custody Business represented by RMB, Standard Bank, Société Générale, Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank. Singer moderated the discussion.
