As Deadline Looms G20 Urges Action on OTC Derivatives

In their final communiqué from June's Los Cabos meeting, the G20 said that it expects member nations to finalize their OTC derivatives regulations in order to meet the the G20's fast approaching deadline.  The communiqué urges member nations to fast track their legislative and regulatory policy processes so that by the end of 2012 all standardized OTC derivative contracts are traded on exchanges or electronic trading platforms (as appropriate) and cleared through central counterparties.  In addition, the G20's committment calls for OTC derivative contracts to be reported to trade repositories, and non-centrally cleared contracts to be subject to higher capital requirements by the end of 2012 as well.
