NZX-SGX Global Dairy Derivatives Partnership

On 8 April, NZX and SGX Group ("SGX") sealed a strategic partnership agreement to unlock and accelerate the distribution and growth potential of NZX’s dairy derivatives market. This follows a Heads of Agreement that was mutually signed in October 2020 to explore the listing of NZX’s Global Dairy Derivatives contracts on SGX’s trading and clearing platform. This partnership will bring together the complementary capabilities of the NZX and SGX to scale up market distribution and liquidity in the global dairy derivatives markets.

As part of the new partnership, NZX intends to delist its suite of dairy derivatives contracts from the NZX Derivatives Market and equivalent contracts will be listed on SGX.

This page outlines details of the strategic partnership including market settings, frequently asked questions, key dates and information on the open interest transfer process to migrate the NZX's contracts to SGX's trading and clearing platforms.
