New guide sets out operational priorities for Europe’s shift to T+1

A newly published guide from Citi and ValueExchange outlines practical questions firms should address as European markets prepare to shorten the securities settlement cycle to T+1. The T+1 Implementation Guide for European markets summarises industry discussions and benchmarking carried out in January 2026 with market participants and industry bodies. According to the authors, the document aims to help firms build their internal plans ahead of the scheduled transition on 11 October 2027.
