OTC Derivatives Regulation

March 18th 2010

 "There is no credible evidence that the non-financial sector end-user of derivatives were the source of any systemic risk …. Forcing companies into standardised exchange contracts and centrally cleared transactions will threaten economic recovery, increase the volatility of reported corporate performance, may well leas to bilateral trading between corporate that will be wholly outside the purview of regulators, and may open up regulatory arbitrage…"

OTC Derivatives Regulation
18th March 2010

Reform of OTC derivatives is gathering pace as regulators seek to find ways to prevent a repeat of the near collapse of the financial system after the demise of Bear Stearns, the default of Lehman Brothers and the bailout of AIG. Central to this effort in both Washington and Brussels is the shift - in the words of the EU's October Communication - from a "predominantly OTC bilateral to more centralized clearing and settlement".

The conference will cover:

  • Current Regulatory Initiatives
  • Recent Market Developments
  • Clear and Execution of the OTC Transactions
  • The Future of non-CCP Cleared Products
