This direction comes despite last week’s announcement by regulators in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore to delay this implementation date and a similar announcement several months ago by the European Commission of their own delay. These jumbled decisions confirm the failure of U.S. and overseas regulators to coordinate the implementation of new margin requirements. Worse, they leave U.S. regulators going it mostly alone to the detriment of American financial firms, their employees and the American businesses they serve.
