CFTC(米国商品先物取引委員会)、中央清算されないスワップ取引に係る証拠金規制の最終修正案を承認


Default: Change to:


The amendments ensure that master netting agreements are not excluded from the definition of “eligible master netting agreement” under the CFTC Margin Rule based solely on such agreements’ compliance with the QFC Rules.


The CFTC is required to establish margin requirements for uncleared swaps for all CFTC registered swap dealers (SD) and major swap participants (MSP) for which there is not a Prudential Regulator (i.e. the FRS, FDIC, OCC, Farm Credit Administration, and Federal Housing Finance Agency). The Prudential Regulators impose similar margin requirements on SDs and MSPs for which there is a Prudential Regulator in their margin rule (Prudential Margin Rule).

The CFTC Margin Rule was issued in January 2016 and establishes minimum requirements for SDs and MSPs to collect and post initial and variation margin for certain swaps that are not cleared by a registered derivatives clearing organization or a derivatives clearing organization that the CFTC has exempted from registration. The CFTC Margin Rule is designed to help ensure the safety and soundness of SDs and MSPs while being appropriate for the risk associated with the uncleared swaps.
