  • ISDA derivatiViews: A Welcome Extension On US Treasury Clearing

    Date 26/02/2025

    Yesterday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it would delay the implementation of mandatory clearing for US Treasury securities by one year. That means eligible cash transactions will now need to be cleared by December 31, 2026, with repos following from June 30, 2027. This is a very welcome extension that ISDA and other industry groups had been advocating for and we’d like to thank the SEC for taking this crucial step. But it’s important to bear in mind that this is the absolute minimum extension that is necessary – several critical operational, regulatory and legal issues need to be resolved, and this will take time.

  • CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero To Step Down From The Commission And Retire From Federal Service

    Date 26/02/2025

    With the fulfillment of her term, and the nomination of Brian Quintenz to succeed her, Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero will step down from the Commission upon Mr. Quintenz’s confirmation, and retire from federal service.  Commissioner Goldsmith Romero said, “It’s been a tremendous privilege to serve in the federal government for 23 years.  Following my wonderful tenure at the SEC and as the Special Inspector General for TARP at the Department of the Treasury, it has been a joy to be a CFTC Commissioner and serve alongside my fellow Commissioners and the CFTC staff.  History has shown how sound regulation plays a critical role in U.S. financial markets being the envy of the world, and I am honored to have played a part in promoting U.S. markets and protecting investors and customers.”

  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Kristin N. Johnson On The Enforcement Advisory On Self-Reporting, Cooperation And Remediation

    Date 26/02/2025

    Today, the Division of Enforcement released an Enforcement Advisory on Self-Reporting, Cooperation and Remediation (Advisory). I thank the Division staff for receiving and considering the comments shared by my office. While I am supportive of the goals of greater transparency, clarity, and efficiency in enforcement practices designed and developed to enhance registrants’ willingness to be forthcoming and cooperative with the Commission, I believe that we must be careful not to muddy the waters. To best enable market participants to develop internal compliance infrastructure, is critical that the Commission offer clear, consistent guidance that enables effective compliance as well as a well-defined pathway to report, cooperate, or remediate. We must exercise caution when advancing new reporting, cooperation, and remediation regimes or rescinding long-standing guidance.  Any effort to adopt new reporting processes, particularly processes that require inter-division guidelines and infrastructure, must be consistent with the mandates of our statue and regulation. Consequently, I am unable to support the Division’s recent Advisory. 

  • Between A Shock And A Hard Place: Trade Fragmentation And Monetary Policy – Speech By Swati Dhingra, Bank Of England, Member Of The Monetary Policy Committee, Given At The 2025 Dow Lecture, National Institute Of Economic And Social Research

    Date 26/02/2025

    We live in an era of deep economic integration, where goods and services cross borders at an unprecedented scale. However, in recent years, the political consensus around globalisation has started to fracture. In this lecture, I will discuss how our trading relationships have shaped price stability and the potential impacts of trade fragmentation on the UK economy. The appropriate monetary policy response to new developments would depend on the nature of fragmentation, its sectoral impacts, and the time horizon over which it would be expected to unwind.
