FIA Highlights CCP Margin Procyclicality Concerns To European Regulators

Date 17/02/2021

FIA today presented to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on the issues experienced in the spring of 2020 when high volatility and procyclicality of margin requirements were experienced in the global clearing system.

Such a drive for liquid assets can contribute to the stress in the financial system.

FIA first issued these recommendations in a white paper published in October 2020.
