中央结算公司:携手奋进 铸大国金融之基(附英文版)
来源:金融街微平台
上世纪90年代,为更好适应我国社会主义市场经济转型,推动债券市场平稳健康发展,中国人民银行、财政部等主管部门报经国务院同意,正式成立了中央国债登记结算有限责任公司(以下简称“中央结算公司”)。作为党领导下中国金融市场锐意改革、破旧立新的产物,中央结算公司自成立之初便扎根金融街,见证了金融街近三十年的光辉发展历程,并在金融街建设运营单位的支持下,始终牢记建设与中国大国强国地位相称的世界一流金融基础设施的初心,忠实践行防范金融风险、深化金融改革开放、助力金融高质量发展、服务实体经济的光荣使命,不负党和国家重托,默默耕耘,夙夜图强,建成先进的登记托管结算制度,完善一体化的服务体系,建设现代化的国家重要金融基础设施,为大国金融发展贡献智慧和力量。
扎根金融街 开启我国金融基础设施服务新时代
建成先进的登记托管结算制度,奠定债市健康发展基石。1981年我国正式恢复国债发行,此后债券市场迅速发展。但当时未建立起规模化、规范化的债券登记托管体制,分散失序的登记托管导致市场乱象丛生、几经风险,严重损害国家信用和投资者权益。1995年,中央结算公司的前身中国证券交易系统有限公司在管理部门的指导和市场各方支持下,借助世界银行技术援助项目,提出构建全国集中统一的债券登记托管体系,并在政策性金融债领域率先实践了统一登记托管制度。1996年,中央结算公司在中国证券交易系统有限公司的基础上改组成立,选址金融街,行使债券中央登记托管结算职能,这是唯一一家经国务院批准并出资设立的、专门承担金融市场基础设施职能的中央金融企业。自此,我国正式建立了符合国情、领先国际、透明高效的债券中央登记托管结算体制,奠定了债市安全高效发展的基础,支持银行间债券市场迅速崛起成为我国债券主体市场。
研发建成中央债券综合业务系统,加速我国金融基础设施现代化进程。中央结算公司以推动我国金融市场现代化为己任,依托信息技术和自主研发,于1999年正式建成并投入使用中央债券综合业务系统,打造集债券簿记系统、债券发行系统和公开市场业务交易系统为一体的现代化金融基础设施,标志着我国银行间债券市场具备了集中登记、托管、结算的全国性债券结算系统,开启我国金融基础设施现代化服务的新时代。
深化紧密协作 提升服务质效 支持债券市场快速发展
进入二十一世纪,伴随着我国金融市场的迅速发展,金融街发展成为汇聚金融资本、引领金融蓬勃发展的国家级金融中心,中央结算公司立足债券中央登记托管结算职责,不断夯实业务基础,提升服务质效和影响力,与金融街建设运营单位等市场同仁一道,积极推动我国金融市场改革发展。
建立国内首个券款对付结算机制,提升债券结算效率和安全性。2004年,在人民银行的支持下,中央债券综合业务系统与人民银行大额支付系统实现连接,中央结算公司建立了国内首个券款对付(DVP)结算机制,此后在主管部门的支持下银行间债券市场全面实行DVP结算,标志着我国债券结算模式达到国际先进水平。2005年,中央债券综合系统与全国银行间同业拆借中心债券交易报价系统联网运行,实现债券交易结算直通式处理(STP),进一步提高了金融基础设施的服务能力和信息化水平。
持续完善人民币债券指数体系,建设金融市场基准定价平台。中央结算公司以1999年编制发布的全球第一条国债收益率曲线为基准,陆续自主构建起一整套反映人民币债券市场价格及风险状况的中债价格指标体系,并在全球首创由中央托管机构提供第三方估值的范例,助推中国债券市场风险防范和人民币国际化有效实施。2015年,国际货币基金组织(IMF)将中债3个月期国债收益率纳入特别提款权(SDR)利率篮子。
探索基础设施跨境交流合作,率先支持债市开放探索。立足金融街这片中国金融对外开放的前沿,中央结算公司在管理部门的指导下,较早参与了我国债市对外开放探索。早在2004年便与香港金管局CMU签署合作协议,迈出我国债市对外开放的第一步。此后的三年间,又先后与国际知名金融基础设施签署合作备忘录,在培训、融券、跨境结算等领域开展务实合作,推动债市进一步开放。2005年,泛亚债券指数基金获准进入银行间债券市场,这是境外机构进入我国债券市场的起点,中央结算公司公司为其提供直接开户等相关服务,我国债券市场对外开放实现了“从0到1”突破。
携手金融街服务局 支持债券市场平稳健康发展

CCDC: Working Together to Fortify the Financial Cornerstone of China
In the 1990s, to facilitate China’s transition to a socialist market economy and promote steady development of the bond market, China Central Depository & Clearing Co., Ltd. (CCDC) was founded by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and other authorities with the approval of the State Council. Rooted in the Financial Street from its very beginning, CCDC, born out of China’s financial market reform in a new era, witnessed the glorious course of the Financial Street over the past three decades. With support from the Financial Street builder and operator, CCDC has always kept in mind the vision of creating a world-class financial market infrastructure (FMI) commensurate with China’s status as a great power and faithfully implemented the missions of forestalling financial risks, deepening the financial reform and opening-up, advancing high-quality financial development and serving the real economy. Living up to its missions, CCDC has created an advanced registration, depository and settlement system, improved the integrated service system, built a fully functioning nationwide FMI and contributed to the financial development of China.
Rooted in the Financial Street and ushering in a new era of China’s FMI services
An advanced registration, depository and settlement system was created as the cornerstone for sound development of the bond market.China officially resumed the issuance of government bonds in 1981, which sparked a proliferation of the bond market. However, in the absence of a large-scale, well-regulated depository system, decentralized registration and depository activities led to chaos and risks in the market, which hurt the state credibility and investors. In 1995, the National Electronic Trading System (NET), the predecessor of CCDC, proposed a centralized bond depository system based on the World Bank’s technical assistance project, with guidance from authorities and support from market players. NET also managed to put central depository into practice for policy financial bonds. In 1996, NET was reorganized to set up CCDC on the Financial Street to perform the function of central bond registration, depository and settlement. It is the only central financial enterprise approved and funded by the State Council to function as a specialized FMI. Hence, China established a transparent, efficient and globally leading system of centralized bond registration, depository and settlement that caters to China’s domestic conditions. The system has laid a foundation for secure and efficient development of the bond market, fueling rapid growth of the interbank bond market into the main bond market of China.
The CCDC ChinaBond Integrated Operation Platform (CIOP) was developed to accelerate the modernization of China’s FMI services. Tasked with advancing China’s financial market modernization, CCDC launched its proprietary CIOP in 1999 to build a modern FMI integrating the bond bookkeeping system, the bond issuance system and the open market trading system. It came to serve as a nationwide bond settlement system enabling central registration, depository and settlement in the interbank bond market, marking China’s entry into a new era of modern FMI services.
Supporting bond market growth through closer collaboration and higher quality and efficiency of services
In the 21st century, the Financial Street has become a national financial center that pools financial capital and leads robust financial development as China’s financial market grows rapidly. By delivering to its duty of central registration, depository and settlement, CCDC has been fortifying its business foundation with higher service quality, efficiency and influence, and advancing China’s financial market reform in joint efforts with other market participants, including the builder and operator of the Financial Street.
The first delivery versus payment (DvP) mechanism in China was created to enhance efficiency and security of bond settlement. With support from the PBOC, the CIOP got connected to the PBOC’s high-value payment system (HVPS) in 2004, enabling CCDC to create China’s first DvP settlement mechanism. Since then, DvP settlement has been applied across the interbank bond market with support from competent authorities, giving China a global edge in the bond settlement model. In 2005, the CIOP got linked to the bond trading system of the National Interbank Funding Center (NIFC), enabling the straight through processing (STP) of bond transaction settlement and giving a further boost to the service capacity and information technology level of FMI services.
The RMB bond index system was constantly improved to create a benchmark pricing platform for the financial market.Taking the world’s first Chinese government bond yield curve issued in 1999 as the basis, CCDC developed a full spectrum of ChinaBond pricing products reflecting the market price and risk profile of RMB bonds. It set a global example of third-party valuation from a central securities depository (CSD), helping forestall risks in China’s bond market and effectively advancing the RMB internationalization. In 2015, the ChinaBond 3-Month Government Bond was included by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) into the special drawing rights (SDR) interest rate basket.
CCDC took the lead in supporting bond market opening-up explorations through cross-border exchange and cooperation on FMI.Based on the Financial Street, the frontier of China’s financial opening-up, CCDC was among the early explorers for China’s bond market opening-up with guidance from authorities. As early as in 2004, CCDC signed a cooperation agreement with the Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU) of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), marking the first step toward China’s bond market opening-up. In the three years that followed, CCDC inked memorandums of cooperation with well-known international FMIs for pragmatic cooperation in training, securities lending and cross-border settlement, helping deepen the opening-up. In 2005, the Pan Asian Bond Index Fund was approved to enter China’s interbank bond market, marking the first entry of a foreign institution into the bond market of China and the starting point of China’s bond market opening-up. CCDC provided direct account opening and related services for the fund, facilitating the breakthrough “from zero to one”.
Working with the Beijing Financial Street Service Bureau to support steady and sound development of the bond market
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China’s bond market has moved into a new stage of development. On the Financial Street full of investment vitality, CCDC has been forging ahead with a focus on its core business to support the market development.
The regulatory support function was enhanced to ensure precise implementation of national macro policies.CCDC has persistently improved its service capacity and system support for government bonds by supporting government bond tenor management, rolling issuance, reopening, when-issued trading and market-making, and promoting auction of local government bonds. The monetary policy support was deepened to provide professional operational support for the PBOC’s innovative monetary policy tools. In facilitating China’s industry policy implementation, in 2014, CCDC, authorized by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), started to provide issuance support, central registration and depository, settlement, principal and interest payment and information disclosure for enterprise bonds. It also assumed the function of building a credit system for enterprise bonds and worked in sync with the implementation of national initiatives on regional development to unleash the positive role of enterprise bonds in stabilizing growth and adjusting structure.
Financial asset service scenarios were expanded in support of financial reform.Guided and driven by management authorities, CCDC established China Credit Assets Registration & Exchange Co., Ltd. in 2014 as part of its efforts to implement the regulatory guidelines for reform, and to help fulfill the State Council’s requirement of “activating the stock of money and credit in idle to support transition and upgrading of the real economy”. The nationwide Wealth Management Products (WMP) information registration system, the WMP direct financing instrument business platform and Chinawealth.com.cn went live in 2015 to promote steady development of the bank wealth management business.
The R&D functions were innovated and deepened to develop a think tank system.Staying true to the philosophy of a “R&D-based firm”, CCDC provides intellectual support for regulators and gives advice on regional planning at the frontier of market innovation. With close ties to international organizations, administrative authorities, academic institutions and market entities, CCDC has carried out a number of technical assistance projects of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and worked with administrative authorities on many significant research projects. CCDC created the ChinaBond journal in 2012, the only reliable and professional journal of its kind in China, organized professional research sessions and set up a postdoctoral research program in 2015. CCDC R&D Center was established in 2017 based on the former R&D department. Now CCDC has in place a three-pronged (namely in-house research, cooperative research platforms with reputed universities and postdoctoral research program) R&D working mechanism that pools internal and external resources. It operates a comprehensive platform for distribution of think tank outputs that covers the ChinaBond journal, WeChat platform, audiovisual platforms, brand events and book series, disseminating a slate of research findings valuable in terms of both theoretical innovation and real-world application. In this way, it has built a ChinaBond think tank featuring a combination of “research, publicity and services”. In recent years, CCDC R&D Center and Beijing Financial Street Service Bureau have worked together pragmatically and comprehensively in a number of key research projects on promoting development of the asset management industry and expanding financial opening-up. CCDC gave advice on the Plan for Optimization and Upgrading of Financial Street (2019-2035), provided inputs for the Financial Street Development Report and took part in preparing for the Financial Street Forum for consecutive years, helping boost the influence of the annual event.
Keeping China’s bond market on course for innovative development, joining the efforts to build an international financial center
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China’s financial sector has entered a new stage of high-quality development. On the Financial Street, which is home to a national financial management center, CCDC has deepened its cooperation with the Beijing Financial Street Service Bureau, kept enhancing the quality and efficiency of services, deepened the ChinaBond solutions and practices, and implemented the national strategies for financial security, financial opening-up and fee cuts, making new contributions to the high-quality development.
Additional dimensions of FMI services were developed to support the implementation of major national strategies.As a key firewall, CCDC has played its part well in forestalling major financial risks. In implementing requirements of the Commission for Deepening Overall Reform, CCDC created a mechanism for monitoring government bond market price fluctuations, a system of bond market risk monitoring indicators and the collateral default disposal services, so as to improve the financial market risk control system. With the ChinaBond risk management metrics increasingly enriched, the benchmark for market risk measurement have been created and the ChinaBond Market Implied Ratings are provided on a daily basis. The SOE risk monitoring system was built and promoted under the authorization from the NDRC. In pursuit of the “emission peaking and carbon neutrality” goal and green development, CCDC has issued regular reports on green bond development, created the ChinaBond green index series, the ChinaBond green bond environmental impact disclosure indicator system, a green bond database and the ChinaBond green bond environmental impact information portal website. It implemented the initiatives on cutting fees and benefiting the real economy and respond to the call for “cutting overcapacity, reducing excess inventory, deleveraging, lowering costs and strengthening areas of weakness”. To this end, CCDC conducted studies on fee reduction in 2017 and became the first FMI to lower fees in early 2020, taking the first spot by either degree or amount of fee cuts among its peers. It also granted special fee reductions targeting provinces hit by COVID-19 or floods and exempted the registration service fee for bonds earmarked for poverty alleviation. As a responsible and important national FMI, CCDC has established links to many other FMIs, including the HVPS, the China Foreign Exchange Trade System, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, commercial banks, CSDC, Shanghai Clearing House, futures exchanges, CIPS, Hong Kong CMU and SWIFT.
CCDC embraces FinTech, keen on enhancing technology-empowered development.It has made the most of FinTech to pursue service innovation and high-quality development. Sticking to a high standard of planning, development and operation, solid progress has been made in the construction of the Next-Generation CIOP and the new data centers in Beijing and Shanghai. The Next-Generation CIOP went live in October 2020 as a modern FMI with a broader range of functions, a better-established architecture and a sharper edge in technology, so as to reshape the technology path and ensure self-reliance in core technologies. The data centers in Beijing and Shanghai were put into operation to complete the two sets of “three centers at two locations” and a unified system of operation and maintenance, enhancing business continuity and information security.
The ChinaBond solutions have been implemented to help deepen the financial opening-up.As the key gateway to China’s bond market, CCDC created the ChinaBond solutions featuring “central confirmation of ownership, look-through supervision, multi-level service and win-win cooperation”. It now supports all market access modes, namely CIBM Direct, Hong Kong Bond Connect and Macao MOX mode, works on an upgraded version of cross-border FMI connectivity and facilitates growing foreign holdings of RMB bonds. In response to relevant national strategies, CCDC fully supported Macao in building its bond market and CSD. It also pushed for the inclusion of RMB bonds in the international eligible collateral pool and for cross-border use of RMB bonds as collateral.
Looking back, CCDC, setting sail from the Financial Street, has focused on its core FMI services and built a comprehensive, cross-market and multi-product ChinaBond integrated operation platform over nearly 30 years under the guidance of competent authorities and with strong support from the Beijing Financial Street Service Bureau. In the process, it has nurtured in its employees a spirit of respect for the profession, courage to overcome challenges, professionalism, dedication, cooperation and trust. Going forward, CCDC will grasp the new development stage, practice the new development philosophy and facilitate the new development pattern. It will work closely with the Beijing Financial Street Services Bureau to make steady and sustained progress toward a world-class FMI and make new contributions to China’s financial reform, opening-up and high-quality development.
