In 2014 FIA began collecting volume data from swap execution facilities, a type of trading venue created by the Dodd-Frank Act for over-the-counter derivatives. To provide the public with a greater transparency into the trading activity on these venues, FIA publishes data on volume and market share trends for interest rate, credit and foreign exchange products traded on SEFs. These data are accessible through a series of interactive online visualizations that allow users to display the data in charts and tables and filter the data in various ways.
