Regulators and market participants came together at the FIA Forum Brussels to discuss the latest developments in the cleared derivatives markets in Europe.
Stockholm may seem to be on the periphery of Europe from a geographical perspective. But when it comes to the major issues impacting the European derivatives markets, it’s right in the thick of the action. FIA came to Stockholm for the first in a series of forums around Europe with regulators, exchanges, brokers, clearing firms, and other market participants. Three topics dominated the discussions: location requirements for central clearing, the implications of the ION Markets ransomware attack, and the imposition of a price cap on gas markets.
The European Commission has proposed that firms subject to the EU clearing obligation should have an active account at an EU CCP, while giving the European Securities and Markets Authority the power to define the portion of certain euro- and Polish zloty-denominated contracts that should be cleared through those accounts via secondary regulation. Changes to capital rules would reinforce this, making it less commercially viable for EU market participants to clear through
CCPs based outside the EU.
The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange and Dalian Commodity Exchange have opened several key commodity futures and options contracts to overseas traders, capping off a year that has seen China take significant steps to remove barriers to international participation.
FIA has responded to the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s (CSRC) consultation on its "Administrative Measures for Futures Exchanges." The draft Measures are significant as they establish a unified framework and lay down common requirements to be adopted by all futures exchanges established in the People's Republic of China.
The exchange-traded derivatives industry has been influenced and shaped by various dynamics, regionally and globally. In this webinar, a broad spectrum of industry experts discussed how they are adapting to these forces and to share their views on future developments.
The energy crisis, the sustainability agenda, and the European Commission’s focus on shifting euro clearing from London to the continent topped the agenda at FIA Forum Brussels, where regulators and market participants gathered to discuss the pressing issues affecting the cleared derivatives markets.
On a recent FIA webinar, legal experts at Linklaters and Zhao Sheng addressed questions on clearing, licensing, and the extra-territorial implications of China’s Futures and Derivatives Law
FIA has jointly with ISDA, AFME, EBF and EFAMA written to Commissioner Mairead McGuinness requesting that the European Commission expedite the review of clearing arrangements in as many non-EU jurisdictions as possible.
