ISDA derivatiViews: An Important Step Towards Efficient Reporting

Date 23/07/2026

Of all the problems that have hindered effective trade reporting in the derivatives market, one of the most difficult to resolve has been duplication. In the EU, both parties to a trade are mandated to submit the same information, while multiple regulations can require the same trade to be reported several times. This not only adds to cost and resources, but it also means trade repositories and supervisors have a hard time reconciling repetitive data to build an accurate picture of risk. The good news is that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has now decided to move towards a so-called ‘report once’ framework – a change that, if done correctly, could materially improve reporting for both market participants and regulators.

Letter From The Bank Of England Governor To The Daily Mail - Letter From Governor Andrew Bailey To The Daily Mail On The Subject Of AI And Cyber-Attacks

Date 23/07/2026

Letter

Connor Axiotes is right to draw attention to the seriousness of frontier AI and its potential impact on the risk of cyber attacks (‘Humanity is no longer in control of its most awesome creation since the atom bombOpens in a new window ’). But his assertion about the Bank of England’s cyber defences being unsophisticated is totally wrong, unfounded and dangerous. For obvious security reasons we do not discuss our defences in detail. But I can assure Daily Mail readers the Bank has the right investment, expertise and capabilities and works extremely closely with expert partners including the National Cyber Security Centre.

Monetary Policy Statement: Christine Lagarde, President Of The ECB, Boris Vujčić, Vice-President Of The ECB

Date 23/07/2026

Good afternoon, the Vice-President and I welcome you to our press conference.

The Governing Council today decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. The outlook for energy prices, while highly volatile, currently stands close to the baseline of the June Eurosystem staff projections and well above the levels recorded prior to the conflict in the Middle East. Uncertainty remains high and the full inflationary impact of the energy shock has yet to play out. We are therefore closely monitoring the intensity and duration of the shock, as well as its indirect and second-round effects. We are committed to setting monetary policy to ensure that inflation stabilises at our two per cent target in the medium term.
