Caribbean Exchanges Network (CXN)Framework and Infrastructure Presented By: Marlon Yarde December 5, 2013
WHAT IS THE CXN? • The Caribbean Exchange Network (CXN) is a solution to allow investors, traders and brokers of all regional countries to have direct access to all financial products that are listed on regional securities exchanges
OBJECTIVES OF THE CXN • Objectives: • To provide an additional channel for encouraging and mobilizing domestic and regional savings • To project a larger footprint for the interest of international investors • To foster the growth of the domestic financial services sector • To increase the overall efficiency of investment • To help reduce corporate dependence on borrowing and improve the gearing of the Regional corporate sector
THE NETWORK • Access will be provided via each Exchange’s network. Members will not be required to make individual connections to each Exchange/Depository • Contingency: Appropriate backup systems will be implemented to mitigate against total failure of one exchange or the entire CXN • Telecommunication access– Should the TTSE network become inaccessible and there is still a connection to the other regions through the TTSE, the CXN will continue to operate (Example) • Application Access: Each jurisdiction will continue to control its own market. Access will be granted based on the role of the individual in the respective brokerage house, registrar and institutional investor. • System Administration & Maintenance • Day to Day administration will be de-centralized • Each system interface will be monitored by the technical team in the respective regions
What is the real impact for Brokers? • Access to 100+ stocks in 3 markets • Larger pool of investors • If Trinidadian clients want to purchase stocks which are traded on Jamaican and/or Barbados Exchanges, then • Brokers will have to open account with CSD in these countries • Have with bank in local jurisdiction to facilitate settlement of CXN transactions via RTGS • Monitor 3 markets for best execution of cross listed stocks • Explain applicable fees and conditions to clients
