Recent positive developments in the PRC’s legislative framework for derivatives, specifically the adoption of the Futures and Derivatives Law in 2022, made it possible for FIA to commission these opinions for the benefit of global clearing firms that provide derivatives clearing services (cleared OTC and ETD) to PRC clients when they wish to access non-PRC CCPs under the English law governed FIA Terms of Business.
