The final version of the XPM catalogue, created by the authors, contains about 314 million stellar positions and absolute proper motions and covers the whole celestial sphere without gaps in the magnitude range 10m < B < 22m. The analysis of stellar positions and proper motions of the XPM catalogue is presented. The coordinate axes, defined by the XPM catalogue, were shown to have an ambiguity of rotation relative to the LQAC quasars and ICRF2 sources less than 0.2 mas yr-1. It is concluded that the XPM catalogue is the independent realization of the ICRS in the optical and near-infrared wavelengths in the sense of obtaining of proper motions. The absolute proper motions of XPM stars were compared with the similar data from the HCRF modern catalogues. The proper motions of stars in these catalogues were shown to have the appreciable random and systematic errors.
