Indonesia launches central counterparty clearing house
Add quotes and details from paragraph 3 onwards
JAKARTA, Sept 30 (Reuters) -Indonesia launched on Monday a central counterparty clearing house (CCP) for foreign exchange and money market transactions as it aims to deepen the capital markets of Southeast Asia's largest economy.
The CCP should help integrate Indonesia's currently fragmented and segmented money and foreign exchange markets, facilitating liquidity for banks by reducing default and other market risks, BI has said.
"With the CCP we hope the volume of transactions in the money market and the FX market will increase quickly," Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo said at the launch event.
Domestic Non-Deliverable Forwards (DNDF) and repurchase agreements (repo) are the instruments that will be facilitated first by CCP, Warjiyo said.
BI expects that in five years the CCP could increase the daily DNDF transactions volume from $100 million currently to $1 billion. Meanwhile, repo transactions it hopes will grow from 14 trillion rupiah per day currently to 30 trillion rupiah per day in 2030.
