current a/c), but LSF transactions cannot make use of intra-day overdrafts for
settlement liquidity. Since settlements other than LSF transactions (cash
withdrawal, DTNS for ACH/CT/MCH/MPU) shall be settled immediately with both
RTGS a/c balance and intra-day overdrafts occur despite the RTGS a/c balance
shortage by LSF transactions. To conduct LSF in one single a/c (RTGS a/c) due to the
request of CBM, all kinds of transactions with RTGS a/c (on the same a/c) are forced
to wait during the settlement process of MLOS (during MLOS calculation and
clearing process, the transactions with RTGS a/c can be processed). Any future
increase in transactions may cause system performance issues derived from the
transaction concentration of the RTGS a/c. To avoid this, segregation of the a/c for
LSF settlement will be one of solution. However, a countermeasure for this problem
may have to be considered and solved by CBM. In particular, CBM-NET may have
to be modified to equip the sub account that is able to move funds easily from/to the
current RTGS account, and LFS settlement should be conducted on the sub account.
