Statement Of CFTC Chairman Timothy Massad, Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking On Amendments To Swap Data Recordkeeping And Reporting Requirements For Cleared Swaps

Date 19/08/2015

One of the most important requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is the reporting of data on the swaps market. In 2008 during the global financial crisis, regulators had little information about this market or the exposures of major institutions, but difficult policy choices still had to be made. Today, that has changed. Today, all swap transactions, whether cleared or uncleared, must be reported to swap data repositories (SDRs). The availability of accurate data is allowing the CFTC to move forward with the important work of monitoring the market and understanding its potential risks.
