- Widen the scope of eligible equity securities to those listed on any regulated exchange (that is, an exchange regulated by MAS or other financial services regulatory authority).
- In relation to eligible equity securities included in a main index that qualify for a 15% haircut, clarify the definition of main index as one which is referenced by futures or options traded on a regulated exchange.
