Iosco launches information repository
The International Organization of Securities Commissions (Iosco) has unveiled an information repository for central clearing requirements for OTC derivatives.
The repository provides regulators and market participants with consolidated information on the central clearing requirements of different jurisdictions. It sets out requirements on a product-by-product level, and any exemptions from them. This information will be updated quarterly.
Established in February 2014, the repository has been available until now only to Iosco members and has now gathered enough information on central clearing requirements, to open the repository to the public.
It is particularly aimed at helping authorities and participants better understand regulations.
In February 2012, Iosco released the report on Requirements for Mandatory Clearing in response to the G20 commitment to ensure that all standardized OTC derivatives contracts were cleared through central counterparties by end-2012.
