Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) is pleased to announce today’s (Monday) launch of Orion Central Gateway – Securities Market (OCG-C), a new market access platform for the Hong Kong securities market. The new central gateway is fully integrated with HKEX’s securities trading system, the Orion Trading Platform – Securities Market (OTP-C), offering improved performance and reduced latency, compared with the vendor-supplied platform that it replaces.
OCG-C is a centralised access point that enables Exchange Participants to connect their order management systems with HKEX's securities trading platform. The introduction of OCG-C is part of HKEX’s ongoing commitment to investing in the innovation, modernisation and enhancement of its market infrastructure, delivering resiliency and ensuring its competitiveness.
HKEX President and Chief Operating Officer Calvin Tai said: “The launch of OCG-C underscores HKEX’s commitment to leveraging the latest technologies to build reliable, resilient and efficient platforms and processes. We look forward to continuing to invest in our technology and market infrastructure as we further elevate our leadership role in shaping global capital markets.”
