CLS calculates the final net short positions of all participants in the respective currencies and draws up the revised pay-in schedule. The settlement and funding cycle then commences. While settlement usually lasts from 07:00 CET to 09:00 CET, the funding process runs alongside it between 07:00 CET and 12:00 CET. An exception are the Asia/Pacific currencies, which because of the time difference are connected to CLS only during the three hours from 07:00 CET to 10:00 CET. In those currencies in which the participants have a net short position the amount due under the revised pay-in schedule is normally divided into five tranches (pay-ins) which have to be paid hourly between 07:00 CET and 12:00 CET.15 But it is also possible to pay the whole amount due in one single Pay-in before 08:00 CET. Not only does the division into different tranches make it possible for participants to stagger their liquidity requirements, it also prevents an excessive amount of liquidity in an individual currency accumulating on the accounts of CLS.
