Deconstructing FinfraG,
Dodd-Frank & EMIR
Following are areas where FinfraG, Dodd-Frank
and EMIR obligations vary.
Reporting: All derivatives transaction data,
including OTC and exchangetraded derivatives
(ETD), must be reported to a trade repository
recognized by FMIA, similar to EMIR, whereas
in the U.S., ETDs do not have to be reported.
FinfraG and DoddFrank reporting obligations
are singlesided, i.e., only one of the counterparties will have to report the transaction to
the repository. A cascade principle is used to
determine the reporting party. EMIR requires
reporting by both sides. A counterparty can
connect to a recognized trade repository and
report in a specified format within the T+1
deadline.
Clearing: All eligible contracts must be cleared
through a central clearing counterparty
recognized by FMIA. Similar to the U.S., FinfraG
provides exemption to small financial counterparties, whereas EMIR does not. Also, FX
transactions have been kept out of the scope of
clearing obligations, unlike EMIR.
Risk mitigation: To reduce counterparty and
operational risk, contracts not traded through an
exchange or centrally cleared are subject to risk
