  • EBA: Consultation Paper On Draft Guidelines On The Treatment Of Structural FX Under 352(2) Of The CRR (EBA/CP/2019/11)

    Date 16/10/2019

    The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on draft Guidelines on the application of the Structural FX provision. These Guidelines aim at setting a regulatory framework on Structural FX to address the observed diversity in its application across the EU. In particular, the guidelines identify criteria to assist Competent Authorities in their assessment of the structural nature of a foreign-exchange position and whether such position has been deliberately taken for hedging the capital ratio. The consultation runs until 17 January 2020.

  • Supporting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dan M. Berkovitz - Proposed Rule Excluding The European Stability Mechanism From Definition Of Financial End User

    Date 16/10/2019

    I support the proposed regulation that would add the European Stability Mechanism (“ESM”) to the list of governmental entities excluded from the definition of financial end user in the Commission’s margin regulations.  The Commission has recognized for many years that entities established by governments like the ESM should be exempted from some of our regulatory requirements for financial entities.  These entities serve a governmental purpose that is not to speculate or profit from derivatives and therefor are less likely to engage in activities that would bring risk to the United States.  The ESM, an intergovernmental entity designed to assist EU member states in financial distress, would likely reduce systemic risk in the European Union.  If the 2008 financial crisis is any guide, reducing financial distress in one region of the world is likely to benefit the rest of the world, including the United States.
