ISDA has responded to the Swiss FINMA’s consultation on updated clearing requirements resulting from the transition away from IBORs. In the response, ISDA highlighted the following key points:
- ISDA is very supportive of central clearing.
- There should be a sufficient notice period for clearing participants (clearing members and their clients).
- Transactions stemming from post-trade risk reduction exercises should be exempt from the clearing obligation.
- ISDA welcomes the Swiss clearing obligations.
