CFTC Issues Final Rule To Modify Clearing Requirement For Canadian Dollar- And Mexican Peso-Denominated Interest Rate Swaps

Date 02/09/2026

The final rule amends the regulations to remove the requirement to clear interest rate swaps referencing the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate and the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate, also known as TIIE, and replace it with a requirement to clear Canadian dollar (CAD)- and Mexican peso (MXN)-denominated interest rate swaps referencing overnight, nearly risk-free rates.
