Question

At which point in time do data contributors have to submit regulatory data of individual financial instruments to the CTP, and how does the CTP handle and publish this information?

Answer

Data contributors must submit regulatory data of individual financial instruments only when there is a change in the trading status of an instrument, such as a suspension, halt, resumption or removal. Upon receiving a status update, the CTP should promptly update and disseminate the information as part of its real-time output. The CTP should continuously publish and maintain an up-to date list of all instruments admitted to trading, reflecting their most recent status.
