  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo Regarding Final Rule On Margin Requirements For Uncleared Swaps

    Date 16/12/2015

    Today’s final rule regarding margin requirements for uncleared swaps is far from perfect. The Commission had the unenviable task of harmonizing its rule with the prudential regulators’ rules and with standards issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (BCBS/IOSCO).
