Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero Regarding $6 Million Enforcement Action Against BNP Paribas For Swap Data Reporting And Disclosure Failures And Failure To Supervise

Date 05/07/2022

I strongly support this enforcement action against BNP Paribas for violating swap data reporting requirements for more than five years, violating swap disclosure requirements, and for failure to supervise.  BNP failed to report accurately millions of swap transactions.  Certain swap dealer compliance issues were not timely identified, with the result that these violations persisted for years.  Despite BNP compliance personnel flagging a swap reporting issue, BNP did not adequately and timely address the issue apparently due to concerns that a comprehensive fix would take significant time and resources.  I also note that BNP or affiliated entities have been the subject of CFTC or other federal enforcement actions.
