What are the changes and why are they important?

Regulatory reforms were drafted in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2007-2009.

The reforms focus significantly on the trading of over-the-counter (OTC) derivative products.

The OTC derivatives market has historically been considered high risk and lacking in transparency. Many participants have previously entered into complex transactions without fully understanding the market and credit risk they were assuming.

Banks’ positioning in a range of OTC derivative positions are believed to have been a notable contributor to the GFC. The crisis saw many OTC derivative positions calling for payments of significant amounts of cash collateral. A lack of confidence, coupled with a credit crunch in the market, led to a funding deficit and the collapse of names such as Lehman Brothers, previously considered “too big to fail”.

The reforms aim to:

– enhance the transparency of transaction information available to relevant authorities and the public.

– promote financial stability.

– support the detection and prevention of market abuse.

G20 nations’ commitments to the reforms included:

– reporting of all OTC derivatives transactions to trade repositories.

– clearing of all standardised OTC derivatives through central counterparties.

– execution of all standardised OTC derivatives on exchanges or electronic trading platforms, where appropriate.

– risk mitigation processes for any trades that are not cleared.

– margining on uncleared swaps.

The changes provide a framework for the regulation of OTC derivatives reporting, clearing and trade execution.

How has the reform been implemented?

Regulators have been appointed by governments to oversee the OTC trading legislation and ensure compliance.

Regulatory change has typically been phased in, beginning with the US in 2012.

Regulations will continue to be rolled out across jurisdictions in coming years.

Regulators are working together through groups such as the International Organization of Securities Commission (IOSCO) to achieve cross-border harmonisation on all regulations.

Regulators are also considering substitute compliance (agreement between regulators that meeting local regulations is sufficient for the other regional jurisdictions). Substitute Compliance has been agreed between CFTC and ASIC for Entity level requirements, but is still being negotiated for transaction-level requirements including reporting.

All applicable new OTC trades executed, and any amendments or cancellations, are reported on the day they occur.

Clearing

7

To minimise bilateral counterparty risk, all regulators have indicated that they will implement a clearing mandate to ensure products are cleared via an authorised Centralised Clearing Party (CCP).

Each jurisdiction has its own process for authorising CCPs. Cross-border recognition of authorised CCPs is taking place.

CFTC is the only jurisdiction with products currently subject to the clearing mandate.

Risk Mitigation

8

To further mitigate the risk of trading OTC derivatives which do not clear centrally, a number of additional obligations are being introduced by regulators. These include:

Obligation Requirement

Portfolio Reconciliation

Regular reconciliation of the MET and Mark-to-Market valuation of every OTC swap with each counterparty.

Timely Confirmation

Trade confirmation provided to and agreed upon by the counterparty within a specified time period.

Market Valuation Provision of daily market valuations.

Portfolio Compression

Regular portfolio compression on a multilateral and bilateral basis.

Dispute Resolution

Timely resolution of dispute between counterparties on market values or MET. Escalation to regulators if disputes cannot be resolved.

CFTC and ESMA both have live regulatory obligations on the obligations listed above. Although ANZ has no direct requirement to ESMA Risk Mitigation obligations, it has an indirect obligation when facing an EU Person.

IOSCO has recently released a paper outlining standards for Risk Mitigation based on the CFTC and ESMA implementations. It is expected that this will be rolled out globally by other regulators which are yet to implement these rules.

APRA is expected to consult on these obligations in Australia in late 2015.

OTC Program – Compliance Status and Forward Agenda

11

Compliance Forward Agenda

U.S. Dodd Frank Developments· CFTC issued updated Part 20 Guidebook providing instructions for submitting large trader reports (LTR). The

guidebook includes a number of technical corrections to the existing LTR validation rules that the CFTC staff use to check Part 20 LTR data submissions. The validation rules will go live for testing on 31 August 2015. reporting entities LTR will need to pass the new validation requirements for the LTR to be successfully submitted to the CFTC from the go live date. The Compliance go live date for successful submission is 1 October 2015

· CFTC new electronic submissions of Ownership and Control Rules 102s Reports has opened the test environment for swap dealers to test new 102s report filings

EMIR• ESMA published responses to the consultation paper on extending the clearing obligation to EEA currencies. ESMA

proposed to extend the mandatory clearing obligation for certain IRS products in CZR, DKK, HUF, NOK, SEK & PLN – the remaining countries (after the UK) that have not taken the Euro

Switzerland • Switzerland will implement legislation with regards to OTC reform with the Swiss Financial Market Infrastructure Act

(FMIA) expected to come into effect in early 2016. Although the FMIA appears to follow EMIR to a certain extent, it is not a mirror copy. For instance, although the Swiss reforms will bring in trade reporting, risk mitigation requirements, mandatory clearing and a trading obligation in a similar format to EMIR, reporting will be single-sided only. FMIA will also introduce four (4) categories of counterparties. This categorisation will apply to both Swiss and non-Swiss counterparties when they enter into a derivative contract with a Swiss entity. FMIA is yet to be translated into English

Clearing  • MAS is consulting on a SGD and USD clearing mandate. • Similarly consultation on ASIC’s clearing mandate closed in July. Hong Kong have not yet consulted. Based on this

the industry do not expect to see clearing mandates for Australia, Hong Kong or Singapore until Q1 2016 at the earliest.
