China INE to Accept Chinese Government Bond as Margin

 On September 2, Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE), a subsidiary of Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), has released the amended Clearing Rules of the Shanghai International Energy Exchange and Delivery Rules of the Shanghai International Energy Exchange, formally accepting Chinese government bonds as margin collaterals. The two amended rules will come into effect on October 18, 2021.

There are three major additions to the updated Clearing Rules. First, the provision that “book-entry Chinese government bonds issued in the Chinese Mainland by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China” can be used as margin. Second, the provision that “Any Client, Overseas Intermediary, or OSP that posts assets as margin is deemed to have given consent to its carrying FF Member to post the assets at the Exchange [i.e., INE] as margin,” and the related consent clause, which states “Any Client, OSP, Overseas Intermediary, or Member that posts assets as margin is deemed to have authorized the Exchange to complete the transfer or pledge of those assets.” Third, the rule that “in each instance where Chinese government bonds are posted as margin, the total face value thereof shall not be less than one million yuan (RMB 1,000,000).”

The updated Clearing Rules also contains revised and more specific rules regarding the procedures for posting marketable securities as margin, attribution of interest for bonds being used as margin, and the time limit for marketable securities used. For the Delivery Rules, the provision on the use of standard warrants as margin has been removed.

Market observers see government bonds as high-quality collaterals due to their stable value and high liquidity. SHFE launched this service on October 19, 2020. It has been running smoothly, with active interest from investors and rising bond deposit volume.

  1. My name is Fajar. I live in Bedono in Central Java I was in a very chronic financial issue and terminal health situation some few weeks back. After all my search for assistance from friends and neighbors proved abortive, I feel there was no one who truly cares. I became so exhausted due to lack of funds to expand my business and my 2 kids aged 5 and 8 were also not good looking due to lack of proper care as a result of finance. One faithful morning I saw an old time friend of my late husband and I told him all I have been going through and he said the only way he could help was to direct me to a good loan officer in USA that also helped him, He explained to me on how he was financially down and how he got boosted by this loan officer ( Mr Pedro who grant him 7,000,000.00 USD loan at an affordable rate of 2% rate . He further assured me that they were the only legit loan firm he found online. He gave me their email & That was how i applied and was also granted a loan and my life changed for the good. CONTACT THE ONLY GENUINE LENDER Mr Pedro VIA Email / Whatsapp +18632310632 pedroloanss@gmail.com to resolve your financial mess.
