1. Background

(3)

G20 Pittsburgh Summit Leaders’ Statement

(Sep. 2009)

1. All standardized OTC derivative contracts:

a) should be traded on exchanges or electronic trading platforms, where appropriate; and

b) cleared through central counterparties(CCP).

2. OTC derivative contracts should be reported to trade repositories(TR).

Based on this G20 statement, regulatory reforms for

OTC Derivatives markets have started.

(4)

G20 Cannes Leaders Summit Communiqué

(Nov. 2011)(excerpt)

●Reforming the over the counter derivatives markets is crucial to build a more resilient financial system. All standardized over-the-counter derivatives contracts should be traded on exchanges or electronic trading platforms, where appropriate, and centrally cleared, by the end of 2012; OTC derivatives contracts should be reported to trade repositories, and non-centrally cleared contracts should be subject to higher capital requirements. ・・・We call on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), the International Organization for Securities Commission (IOSCO) together with other relevant organizations to develop for consultation standards on margining for non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives by June 2012, and on the FSB to continue to report on progress towards meeting our commitments on OTC derivatives.

(5)

G20 Saint Petersburg Summit Leaders’ Declaration

(Sep. 2013)(excerpt)

● We welcome the FSB’s report on progress in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives reforms, including members’ confirmed actions and committed timetables to put the agreed OTC derivatives reforms into practice. We also welcome the recent set of understandings by key regulators on cross-border issues related to OTC derivatives reforms, as a major constructive step forward for resolving remaining conflicts, inconsistencies, gaps and duplicative requirements globally, and look forward to speedy implementation of these understandings once regimes are in force and available for assessment. We agree that jurisdictions and regulators should be able to defer to each other when it is justified by the quality of their respective regulatory and enforcement regimes, based on similar outcomes, in a non-discriminatory way, paying due respect to home country regulation regimes. We call on regulators in cooperation with the FSB and the OTC Derivatives Regulators Group to report on their timeline to settle the remaining issues related to overlapping cross-border regulatory regimes, and regulatory arbitrage.

G20 Leader’s Communiqué

(Brisbane, Nov.2014)(excerpt)

●Strengthening the resilience of the global economy and stability of the financial system are crucial to sustaining growth and development. We have delivered key aspects of the core commitments we made in response to the financial crisis. Our reforms to improve banks’ capital and liquidity positions and to make derivatives markets safer will reduce risks in the financial system.・・・But critical work remains to build a stronger, more resilient financial system. The task now is to finalise remaining elements of our policy framework and fully implement agreed financial regulatory reforms, while remaining alert to new risks. We call on regulatory authorities to make further concrete progress in swiftly implementing the agreed G20 derivatives reforms. We encourage jurisdictions to defer to each other when it is justified, in line with the St Petersburg Declaration. We welcome the FSB’s plans to report on the implementation and effects of these reforms, and the FSB’s future priorities. We welcome the progress made to strengthen the orderliness and predictability of the sovereign debt restructuring process.

FSB - OTC Derivatives Reforms -

1)- take every opportunity to increase market use of central clearing, and minimize opportunities for regulatory arbitrage.

2)- renew their focus on the commitment to increase the use of exchanges and electronic trading platforms.

3)- implement finalized capital and margin requirements in accordance with agreed phase-in schedules.

4)- adopt resolution regimes for FMIs, and ensure that recovery / resolution plans for FMIs are developed in line with international guidance.

5)- continue to cooperate in the application of regulations in cross-border contexts, to enable them to defer to each other’s rules where these achieve similar outcomes.

6)- provide clarity regarding the detailed rules on the treatment of cross-border transactions and the timetables for implementation.

7)- Authorities will need to ensure that they can make full use of the data collected by trade repositories in fulfilling their financial stability mandates; to assist in this, a f/s on approaches to the aggregation of TR data is underway.

A lot of Work to be done by authorities…

(8)

OTC Derivatives Regulators Group (ODRG) Issue Report to the G20: Sep.2013

1)- Consultation/communication when equivalence or substituted compliance assessments are being undertaken is essential.

2)- A flexible, outcomes-based approach should form the basis of final assessments regarding equivalence or substituted compliance assessments.

3)- A stricter-rule approach would apply to address gaps in mandatory trading or clearing obligations.

4)- Jurisdictions should remove barriers (ⅰ) to reporting to TR by market participants and (ⅱ) to access to TR data by authorities.

5)- There should be appropriate transitional measures and a reasonable but limited transition period for foreign entities to implement OTC Derivatives reforms.

There are already many main points agreed:

3. Progress on bilateral

discussions

(21)

Discussion with US CFTC

― Remaining issues for substituted compliance determination (i.e. reporting requirement to TR , clearing obligations etc.)

― Derivatives Clearing Organization(DCO) registration:

Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC)

― Early consultation framework to avoid conflict of regulations on trading mandate

Points to be concluded

― Substituted Compliance Determination (Dec. 2013):

A broad range of entity-level regulatory requirements for swap dealers in Japan were decided to be comparable to and as

comprehensive as those of the CFTC’s requirements

― Supervisory Cooperation (Mar. 2014):

JFSA and CFTC agreed on Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) to enhance supervision of cross-border regulated entities

Points agreed

(22)

Discussion with EC/ESMA

― The European Commission adopted the equivalence decision for the regulatory framework of Japan for CCPs to the requirements of EU regulation on

Oct. 30, 2014.

― JFSA and ESMA established a cooperation

arrangement related to the supervision of CCPs on Feb. 18, 2015.

― ESMA recognized two CCPs in Japan (JSCC and TFX) as third-country CCPs on April. 29, 2015.

The procedure for the recognition of Japanese CCPs

to provide EU financial institutions with clearing services

(23)

4. Challenges

(24)

Challenges for regulators in the implementation phase 1. Resolving cross-border issues

- how to reconcile differences in the rules

- how to prevent market fragmentation risks

- how to prevent dominance by a small number of major financial institutions or markets

2. Assessing and addressing the effect of regulatory reforms

- cumulative impact of various reform measures - unintended consequences

- regulatory gaps or inconsistencies of incentives

(e.g. clearing obligation vis-a-vis leverage ratio regulation)

23

(25)

Forthcoming International Agenda in the Derivatives Space

1. Addressing Systemic Risk of CCPs

― Resilience

stress testing

margin requirement

skin-in-the-game

― Recovery Planning

― Resolvability

― Interdependencies

2. Standardization and Aggregation of TR Data

― Data Harmonization (UTI, UPI, LEI, etc.)

― Removal of Legal Barriers to Cross-border Reporting
