Release of Guidance for the Australian Clearing and Settlement Facility Resolution Regime

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has released its Guidance on the Australian Clearing and Settlement (CS) Facility Resolution Regime, accompanied by a Response to Consultation that outlines stakeholder feedback. The Guidance clarifies how the RBA may exercise its crisis‑resolution powers—granted by the 2024 Treasury Laws Amendment—to address threats to critical CS facilities. While the Guidance is non‑binding and subordinate to legislation, it aims to help participants anticipate regulatory actions. The publication follows a June 2025 consultation and reflects the RBA’s commitment to market stability.
