IOSCO Makes Repository of Information on Global Clearing Requirements Available to Public

IOSCO announced that its information repository for central clearing requirements for OTC rate and credit derivatives is now available to the public. Previously, the repository was only available to IOSCO members; however, IOSCO explained, it has gathered enough information on central clearing requirements to make the repository public.

Updated quarterly, the repository sets out central clearing requirements on a product-by-product level, as well as any exemptions from the requirements. IOSCO stated that the repository aims to provide regulators and market participants with consolidated information on the clearing requirements of different jurisdictions.
