  • “Do What You Can” - Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia, Effective Date Of Title VII Of The Dodd-Frank Act

    Date 14/06/2011

    Today we are voting on a proposed order aimed at providing legal certainty in the form “temporary exemptive relief” for swap market participants as of the July 16, 2011 general effective date of the Dodd-Frank Act. This temporary relief is necessary because: (1) the Commission has not yet put forth final rules defining such key terms such as “swap” and “swap dealer”; and (2) certain exemptions and exclusions for transactions in exempt and excluded commodities currently relied upon by market participants will be repealed effective July 16, 2011. The proposal is supposed to “ensure that current practices will not be unduly disrupted during the transition period to the new regulatory regime.” However, because we have yet to put forth an implementation schedule for the final rules as to their approval and effective dates, and because the proposal includes an arbitrary sunset provision that could cut that transition period short on December 31, 2011, the proposal, albeit “temporary” will likely not provide the necessary “relief.” Though it is the right thing to do at this time, I have concerns that this proposal will not provide the appropriate level of legal certainty, and if it is to last only a few months, will likely only serve to further confuse and frustrate the markets and market participants.

  • ISDA Announces Commodity Derivatives Trade Repository Selection

  • Autorité Des Marchés Financiers Publishes 2011 Risk And Trend Mapping For Financial Markets And Savings

    Date 14/06/2011

    The Autorité des Marchés Financiers today published 2011 Risk and Trend Mapping for Financial Markets and Savings. This fifth edition of the report covers market and financing trends, household saving and asset management, and changes in market structure. Most of the risks identified in the previous edition published in April 2010 have materialised and some have intensified with Europe’s sovereign debt crisis. In addition, certain major issues highlighted by the AMF now constitute new and significant areas of focus for the G-20 work programme on financial regulation:

    • the transfer of risks from the banking sector to other parts of the financial system, now addressed from the broad angle of shadow banking;
    • the goals of market transparency, integrity and efficiency;
    • supervision and oversight of commodity derivatives markets.
