How Does a CCP’s Netting Process Improve Market Efficiency?

Netting consolidates multiple transactions between a clearing member and the CCP into a single net payment obligation. Instead of settling every individual trade, only the net difference is exchanged.

This dramatically reduces the number of payments, minimizing settlement risk, operational costs, and the overall liquidity needed to manage positions.
