EMIR

 

European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) entered into force on 16 August 2012 (UE N 648/2012) and aimed to increase the stability of European OTC derivatives market by introducing:

  • – Clearing obligation for eligible OTC derivatives in order to reduce counterparty risk
  • – Measures to reduce operational risk for other derivatives
  • – Reporting obligation for OTC derivatives through a central trade repository in order to improve transparency

GMS has extensive expertise in implementing solutions to respond to these new regulations on OTC derivatives.
