From March's Trading Places: OTC Derivative Reform & Global Equivalence – Is There Ever Really Equivalence? - Comment Piece By Richard Baker, CEO Cleartrade Exchange (CLTX)

Date 11/03/2016

As the CEO of a global commodities exchange, this is a topic I frequently encounter.  I also spend valuable resources in terms of time and money – such as legal & compliance fees - keeping abreast of the changes.  What has changed in what region (for our business and our clients, the focus is Asia, US and Europe) and waiting with anticipation the outcome of various regulatory huddles that take place on global equivalence. I then head back to my clients to try and explain why their various legal entities (operating companies) in certain geographical locations can or can’t a) be subject to certain conditions b) log in to our trading terminal and c) hedge or trade a position. Whilst regulatory change is creating opportunities, it is also true that the pace of implementation and lack of alignment between regulators over that last few years has created uncertainty which inhibits market participants from real business. In contrast, it is quite remarkable that I can login to the likes of Amazon or EBay from anywhere in the world, go through that voyage of discovery of exactly where my wants and needs lie and then go on to buy or sell and settle a transaction (including trade reporting!) in minutes with anyone around the world.  Yet amazingly, it remains impossible to do that in the OTC Derivatives market even 6 years since the G20 reforms started.
