Equity Settlement Cycles: Where Are We Today?
Around the world, cash equity settlement cycles range from T+0 to T+5, but T+2 remains the clear global standard, accounting for over 60% of markets. [The numbers in this article are based on 137 securities depositories servicing over 160 exchanges in 136 countries.]
A growing number of markets, including the US, Canada, India and Mexico, have adopted T+1 settlement, while most of Asia and Europe continue to operate on T+2. Across Africa, settlement cycles range from T+1 to T+5, reflecting the diversity of settlement practices and the varying pace of market modernization across the continent.
