新任澳大利亚证券交易所（ASX.AX）首席执行官安东尼·阿蒂亚表示，他希望加快推进一日付现股票交易结算的过渡，使澳大利亚与美国以及计划明年实施该举措的欧洲和香港交易所保持一致。
New ASX (ASX.AX) CEO Anthony Attia said he wants to expedite the transition to one-day cash equity trading settlement, bringing Australia in line with the United States as well as European and Hong Kong exchanges which plan the move next year.
ASX曾在2024年考虑将交易结算周期从T+2调整为T+1，但在市场参与者表示应优先聚焦于其4.45亿澳元（3.1154亿美元）的技术升级后搁置了该计划。此前，一系列系统故障、结算延迟及其他问题导致受到警告并被处以监管罚款。
ASX considered shifting to trading-plus-1 days from T+2 in 2024 but shelved the idea after market participants said it was more important to focus on its A$445 million ($311.54 million) technology overhaul after a series of outages, settlement delays and other glitches led to a reprimand and a regulatory fine.
清算和结算系统（即CHESS）的最终升级预计要到2029年才能完成，但阿蒂亚表示，更快的结算周期有可能在此之前推出。
The final upgrade of the clearing and settlement system, known as CHESS, is not due to be finished until 2029, but Attia said a faster settlement period could be introduced beforehand.
“我认为现在已经太晚了。所以我很愿意与市场互动，推动这一进程，”阿蒂亚在周三的一次采访中说道，并补充称他计划开始与监管机构和市场参与者进行磋商。“今天我们没有任何理由继续维持T+3或T+2。”美国已实行T+1两年，伦敦和泛欧交易所计划于明年十月切换。香港交易所计划在2027年第四季度实施该举措。
"I think it's too late. So I'm very willing to engage with the market to bring that forward," Attia said in an interview on Wednesday, adding he plans to start consulting with regulators and market participants. "We don't have any reason to keep T+3 or T+2 today." The US has had T+1 for two years and the London and Euronext exchanges plan to switch in October next year. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange plans the move in the fourth quarter of 2027.
自2016年以来，澳大利亚的现货股票交易一直通过CHESS以两日结算方式进行。
Australia's cash equity trades have settled on a two-day basis in CHESS since 2016.
更快的结算只是阿蒂亚上任仅六周所考虑的众多举措之一，旨在提升ASX的竞争力并恢复其声誉。
Faster settlement is just one of the initiatives Attia, only six weeks into his role, has in mind to increase ASX's competitiveness and restore its reputation.
“ASX还有大量工作要做，才能成为一流的竞争型交易所，”阿蒂亚表示。
"The ASX has a lot of work to do to become a best-in-class competing exchange," Attia said.
“这是一个竞争非常激烈的行业。我热爱竞争。我认为竞争能激发人们的最佳表现。而我的工作是转型ASX，使其成为一个大型、成功且具有竞争力的交易所。”这位曾在泛欧市场运营商Euronext工作近三十年的法国交易所高管，接替了前任首席执行官海伦·洛夫豪斯。
"It's a very competitive industry. I love competition. I think it gets the best out of people. And my job is to transform ASX to become a large, successful, competitive exchange." The French exchange executive spent nearly three decades at pan-European market operator Euronext before replacing former CEO Helen Lofthouse.
他接手这份工作时，ASX正经历其最具挑战性的时期之一，这一时期因CHESS升级延迟和成本超支以及系统故障，而受到监管机构和投资者的严格审查。
He took the job following one of ASX's most challenging periods, marked by intense scrutiny from regulators and investors stemming from CHESS upgrade delays and cost blowouts as well as outages.
他早期面临的挑战包括数据中心运营商Firmus上周取消了首次公开募股计划。
His early challenges included data centre operator Firmus scrapping an initial public offering last week.
但Attia表示，ASX不应等到问题全部解决后才推进诸如现代化和提升其上市业务吸引力等举措。
But ASX should not wait until issues are settled before pursuing initiatives, such as modernising and improving the attractiveness of its listing business, Attia said.
“我没有奢望（可以等待），因为我们身处一个变化极快的行业。我们已经在讨论24/7代币化。资本具有流动性。资本没有护照，”他说。
"I don't have the luxury to (wait) because we are in an industry where things are moving extremely fast. We're already talking about 24/7 tokenisation. Capital is mobile. Capital has no passport," he said.
“我的CEO职责是为ASX营造正确的文化和适当的雄心水平，以便我们能够几乎同时实现修复和增长。”ASX股价在截至6月30日的财政年度收盘下跌23.6%。
"My job as CEO is to create the right culture at ASX and the right level of ambition so that we can fix as well as grow almost simultaneously." ASX's share price closed the financial year ended June 30 down 23.6%.
为期九个月的监管调查发现，ASX优先考虑股东回报，而未在基础设施上进行足够投入，这“损害了澳大利亚金融市场的成功”。
A nine-month regulatory investigation found ASX had prioritised shareholder returns and failed to invest adequately in infrastructure, which "compromised the success of Australia's financial markets".
当被问及为何投资者应在ASX经历十年动荡后仍信任他的能力时，Attia表示：“我不要求任何人仅凭我的话或我的雄心就信任我。
When asked why investors should trust in his ability, after a decade of turmoil at ASX, Attia said: "I'm not asking anyone to trust me on my word, on my ambition.
“我要求人们继续与ASX合作……我们将展示，我们将证明变革的成果，”他说。
"I'm asking people to continue working with ASX... We will demonstrate, we will show proof of changes," he said.
