On 7 December 2022, the European Commission made two proposals to amend EU legislation on derivative markets. The objective is to reduce the excessive and concentrated exposure of EU financial institutions to third-country central counterparties (CCPs). CCPs are clearing platforms that mitigate counterparty risks on derivative instruments by demanding collateral. Among other things, the proposals would require EU financial institutions to retain a portion of mandatory CCP derivative trading, to be ...

This papers reflects on recent turmoil created by derivatives used by energy companies and by UK pension funds, assessing some recent work of the European Supervisory Authorities, reports on EIOPA’s review of Credit Protection Insurance that unveiled poor underwriting and sales practices, as well as poor value for money from a consumer perspective, and contains a section on cyber risk, subject to increased warnings by supervisory authorities.

The increasing importance of central counterparties (CCPs), and challenges such as the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU, call for a more comprehensive supervision of CCPs in EU and non-EU countries to secure financial market infrastructure and build confidence. In June 2017, the Commission proposed amendments to Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 (ESMA – European Securities and Markets Authority) and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (EMIR – European Market Infrastructure), to strengthen the regulatory ...

Regulation of OTC derivatives in the EU

Lühitutvustus 06-06-2018

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR – Regulation (EU) No 648/2012) addressed the problems observed in the functioning of the 'over-the-counter' (OTC) derivatives market during the 2007-2008 financial crisis.

This briefing gives an overview of the role of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in setting international standards in banking regulation and supervision. It also raises the questions on how the preparatory work is organised in the European Union in order to enhance transparency and co-operation.
