    Date 01/10/2020

    FIA and ISDA (together the “Associations”) welcome the Bank of England’s consultation paper (CP) on operational resilience of Central Counterparties (CCPs). We applaud the UK authorities for focusing on the operational resilience of the entire financial sector – including Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) such as CCPs. We agree with the Bank of England’s assessment that disruption to clearing markets is a financial stability issue and support the policy objective for CCPs to be operationally resilient to disruption events.  We also support the concepts of important business services and impact tolerances.
