HKEX (00388.HK) announced that it has reached an agreement with CMU OmniClear, under Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU) of Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), to acquire newly issued shares of CMU OmniClear for up to HKD455 million, resulting in a 20% stake of CMU OmniClear. HKEX stated that this strategic investment builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed between HKEX and CMU OmniClear in March 2025, and underscores HKEX’s commitment to cement Hong Kong’s position as a leading FIC center and an international RMB hub. The Strategic Investment represents a partnership between the HKMA and HKEX to harness the combined resources, technology, talent and market expertise to accelerate the development of Hong Kong’s post-trade securities infrastructure into a major CSD in the region. This would involve the continued commercialization of CMU and the pursuit of business development initiatives in areas such as expansion of its investor CSD services, asset classes coverage and collateral management services, with the goal of enhancing CMU’s competitiveness, and the cross-asset class efficiency of CSD platforms in Hong Kong.
