It warned ASX’s clearing and settlement units still fall short of regulatory standards and pledged close oversight. “ASX is not currently meeting the regulators’ expectations for an operator of critical national infrastructure,” according to RBA Assistant Governor Brad Jones, stressing the need for “resilient and secure” systems. The RBA urged improvements to ASX’s risk transformation plan and a review of its business continuity protocols. Meanwhile, ASX CEO Helen Lofthouse acknowledged the need to “accelerate our progress to rebuild trust” and stated that the exchange has implemented contingency measures, code fixes, and memory upgrades to improve resiliency.
