Date 28/09/2021
FIA today released a policy paper outlining seven principles to guide the regulation of cross-border activity in the derivatives markets.

Policymakers and regulators in many parts of the world are re-examining their approaches to cross-border activity, and some are favoring more insulated national policies that favor direct oversight of domestic and foreign entities. As FIA points out in the paper, these national approaches do not defer to home country regulation, and the resulting overlap of regulation on cross-border activity will lead to less efficient markets and higher costs for end-users.
