According to Reuters’ reports, the London Metal exchange has revealed on Wednesday that they will launch a new clearing house on September 22 after they get clearance from the UK and European regulators.

The LME statement also confirms that the Bank of England has approved LME Clear's application as a central counterparty under the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR). The regulators and central banks in France and Germany gave a positive opinion about the new development according to reports.
LME Clear Chief Executive, Trevor Spanner said that the approval was the last step prior that launch. He also goes on to tell Reuters that is June the clearing house was planning to expand the types of allowed collateral to include Chinese renminbi and warehouse warrants to be used as valid collaterals for cash.
The exchange is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd.
