Australia 麻豆传媒 Exchange (ASX) has released a consultation paper proposing a new pricing policy for its clearing, settlement, and issuer (CSI) services from 1 January 2025.
The new pricing policy will introduce the building block method (BBM), a pricing model used across regulated industries, to calculate a revenue requirement reflecting the efficient costs of ASX鈥檚 CSI services.
Through an annual review, the pricing policy aims to ensure that ASX recovers no more than those costs, including a 鈥渞easonable鈥� return on investment commensurate with the commercial risks involved.
ASX said there will be no change to the structure or level of its CSI services prices upon commencement of the pricing policy.
However, the policy will introduce new processes designed to increase transparency and ensure that users are paying 鈥渘o more than necessary鈥� for the services.
ASX published the 鈥楥ash Equities Clearing and Settlement Services: Pricing Policy Consultation Paper鈥� alongside Q&A on 16 September.
Through the consultation paper, the public company seeks feedback on the key elements of the pricing policy, including reimbursement for excess revenues, and CSI services fee schedules.
ASX requests responses via an electronic form by 25 October 2024.
