Supporting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz On The Comparability Determination For Australia: Margin Requirements For Uncleared Swaps For Swap Dealers And Major Swap Participants

Date 27/03/2019

I support the issuance of the Margin Comparability Determination for Australia (Determination).

The Commission should assess comparability by determining if the totality of a legal regime’s regulations, guidance, and supervisory approach achieve comparable outcomes to the CFTC’s regime, instead of engaging in a rule-by-rule analysis for identical requirements.
