Thanks. I'm still mulling this one over. In over 20 years of financial translation I've never heard of a settlement chamber, which is why I hesitate to use it, even though liquidação means settlement. Clearing houses of course exist, but don't make much sense.

I appreciate you thoughts on this one.

Marian
