Date 03/05/2019

(This article first appeared in the April 2019 issue of Focus which provides monthly insight from the World Federation of Exchanges and its member exchanges.)

It is often said that regulators spend too much time looking in the rear-view mirror instead of the road in front of them to address new and emerging risks. I would agree only to the extent that we do glance behind once in a while, to remind ourselves that during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, Lehman Brothers’ cleared derivative portfolio was in the trillions, yet it took mere weeks for the Central Counter Parties (CCPs) to close out the position. A CCP eliminates counterparty risk for participants in the financial market by assuming the role of seller to the buying Clearing Member and the role of buyer to the selling Clearing Member. By doing so, the CCP assumes most of the credit risks of the seller and the buyer.
