as descripted in 3.2.4.1.1(6). Since the standard of ISO20022 may change, update of
message format after external design phase will be considered by CBM, and the
status of the update will be noticed to FIs. In particular, CBM is required to watch
and grasp the update of ISO20022 continuously, and if it is upgraded, CBM will
decide to or not to follow the upgrade and modify the message format of CBM-NET
by considering the needs of FIs. Then, CBM will upgrade CBM-NET with caring
about the impact to each function of CBM-NET.
3.2.4.1.3 Liquidity Saving Features and Message Queuing
(1) System Function
(A) Overview of liquidity saving features and message queuing
Liquidity saving features (LSF) allow participant FIs to settle interbank payment
instructions with less settlement liquidity. Most developed countries have already
introduced pure RTGS systems as well as RTGS with LSF systems (called hybrid
systems). Central banking systems have gradually progressed from the DTNS
(Designated Time Net Settlement) system to a pure RTGS system; currently, the
hybrid system is deemed the international standard (EU: Target 2, UK: CHAPS,
Singapore: MEPS+, Korea: BOKWire, and Japan: BOJ-NET).
Liquidity saving features consist of event driven bilateral offsetting (BLOS) and time
driven multilateral offsetting (MLOS). BLOS and MLOS can settle with less
liquidity; therefore, these offsetting mechanisms strongly contribute to the
settlement progress compared to the pure RTGS mechanism.
(B) LSF transactions
Transactions with LSF mode are composed of interbank funds transfer (hereinafter
“bank transfer”) and customer credit transfer (hereinafter “customer transfer”), and
these types of transactions are mainly not urgent and suited for a queue or offsetting
algorithm. However, urgent payment instructions can be selected and processed by
RTGS mode with intra-day O/D facility.
(C) Account structure
All types of transactions, including LSF transactions, are settled in RTGS a/c (=
