  • ISDA’s Response To The European Commission’s Public Consultation On The Regulation of Indices

    Date 30/11/2012

    On behalf of our members, ISDA appreciates the opportunity to respond to this consultation, with the goal of contributing to a robust and stable financial market. In this response, we have limited ourselves to commenting on those issues that are directly relevant to ISDA and OTC Derivatives Markets. There are, of course, many important issues discussed in the consultation document that go beyond that scope, and we defer, in relation to those issues, to other financial market respondents with greater expertise and/or a more relevant focus. Equally, we will not address considerations of possible alternatives or successors to relevant indices (e.g. Libor or Euribor), either generically or specifically, in the case that the ultimatedecision is reached that any of these indices should be discontinued.

  • DTCC Media Statement On CME Requested DCO Rule Change And Amendments To CFTC Reporting FAQ

    Date 30/11/2012

    The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (“CFTC”) rules and interpretations of the Dodd Frank Act have made it clear for nearly a year that clearinghouses must provide open access and that data repositories cannot bundle other services as the CME Group Inc. (“CME”) proposes. In fact, the CME is proposing that as a condition for using their clearing services, market participants must agree to report their trade data to the clearinghouse's own captive swap data repository (SDR). The industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to be fully prepared to meet reporting obligations that will become effective in one month. The Commission's action late yesterday was an unexplained and an abrupt reversal of course. This action is inconsistent with the Commission’s previous actions, and will cause market participants to question the finality of any Commission rule or interpretation. This will ultimately disrupt the progress the industry and regulators have achieved so far to implement the financial reforms mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. We are surprised and disappointed that the Commission would take such a step at this late date and ask that it reverse its decision and reinstate the FAQs which have provided the industry with appropriate decision-making capabilities in regards to their own swaps data.
