EU’s transition to T+1 settlement on 11 October 2027

High-Level Overview of the EU T+1 Settlement Initiative

The EU T+1 Settlement Initiative is a strategic program led by the EU T+1 Industry Committee, in collaboration with ESMA, the European Commission and the European Central bank, to shorten the securities settlement cycle from T+2 to T+1 across the European Union and European Economic Area.


EU T+1 Industry Committee Survey

As we approach the halfway point to T+1 implementation, the EU T+1 Industry Committee has launched its first comprehensive survey to assess industry progress on High-Level Roadmap recommendations.

Please find here the link to the survey and the relevant guidance note.

We welcome responses by 2nd of January 2026.


T+1 Is Coming: Are you preparing?

The move to T+1 settlement represents a major industry shift toward faster, more efficient post-trade processes. While the High-Level Roadmap, prepared by EU T+1 Industry Committee, offers guidance through the recommendations it contains, each firm must conduct its own analyses to understand the operational and technological changes required. We strongly encourage market participants to begin assessing their readiness now and take the necessary steps to ensure a smooth and timely transition. 

“Like climbers at base camp, market participants must check their equipment and prepare for the ascent to T+1.”

Giovanni Sabatini
Chair of EU T+1 Industry Committee
