  • ISDA Response To US Proposed Rule-Making On Swap Margin Requirements

    Date 17/09/2019

    ISDA has published the following response to US proposed rule-making on swap margin requirements.

    “We welcome the proposed rule, as it reflects a global effort by regulators to make the margin requirements more sensitive to risk, and to align those rules across jurisdictions. ISDA analysis showed the number of in-scope firms would have jumped by roughly 20-fold under the original phase-five initial margin implementation deadline, raising doubts about the capacity of these entities to comply in time. The proposal to split the phase-five implementation schedule over two years will give smaller, less systemically important firms an extra 12 months to prepare. Providing regulatory relief to legacy swap transactions that might come into scope due to contractual changes brought about by benchmark reform will also ensure the industry is able to focus on systemic risk reduction by cutting its reliance on LIBOR without adding to the margin compliance burden,” says Scott O’Malia, ISDA CEO."

  • SIFMA Statement On FDIC NPR On Swap Margin Requirements

    Date 17/09/2019

    SIFMA today issued the following statement from President and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. on the NPR issued by the FDIC on swap margin requirements:

    “SIFMA appreciates the continuing efforts by regulators to review rules, regulations and practices to identify those areas which can be simplified, harmonized and streamlined to eliminate unnecessary inconsistencies and overlap.  SIFMA believes exempting inter-affiliate swaps from the initial margin requirement is a beneficial step, as it unlocks liquidity for investments which contribute to economic growth.  It is important to note that these swaps would remain subject to variation margin and central risk management."
