The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has published its fifth six-monthly progress report on the implementation of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market reforms. This report takes stock of progress made by standard-setting bodies, national and regional authorities and market participants towards meeting the commitments made by G20 Leaders at the Pittsburgh 2009 Summit that all standardised OTC derivative contracts be traded on exchanges or electronic trading platforms, where appropriate, and cleared through central counterparties (CCPs); that OTC derivative contracts be reported to trade repositories; and that non-centrally cleared contracts be subject to higher capital requirements.
