• transparent price discovery
• market liquidity (risk transfer)
• reduced counterparty risk
• anonymity
• initial margin flexibility
• robust regulatory and compliance frameworks

As the largest futures exchange and clearing house in the Asia Pacific (by value of trade), ASX is seamlessly integrated with all of the clearing participants, brokers and financial market participants that service energy and environmental product markets globally.

To provide market participants with the maximum time to prepare for the listing of ASX's new energy and environmental products, ASX has set an expected launch window of Feb-May 2009. Specific listing dates will be set subject to the non-disallowance process under the Corporations Act and feedback from market participants as to the status of their readiness.
