EU T+1 roadmap published – firms urged to start preparing now

The EU T+1 Industry Committee has finalised and published its high-level roadmap for shortening the settlement cycle to T+1, setting 11 October 2027 as the target date for implementation across the EU and EEA.
The roadmap, five months in the making, sets out industry-developed recommendations to help firms prepare for the transition. While not legally binding, the document is intended as a practical reference point for market participants to start assessing system changes, operational impacts, and budget needs.
