Statute overview

About this statute

This provision says the law governs the Central Securities Depository (CSD) and qualified netting agreements. This article defines many terms used in the Law, including CSD rules, cash, qualified financial contract, netting, collateral, securities, account holder, CSD participant, Authority, and issuer. This article says the law covers CSD activities, licensing and regulation of CSD operators, dematerialisation and immobilisation of securities, participants’ rights and obligations, collateral arrangements, and related insolvency and enforceability rules. A person who wants to establish or operate a CSD, or hold out as a CSD operator, must be licensed by the Authority. A CSD operator may carry out listed CSD activities, but must run them properly and keep data confidential and integral; a licensed CSD operator needs prior approval to do other business or raise fees.
