The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) has published an updated version of its detailed ‘Recommendations for Reporting under SFTR’.
According to the association, this latest update introduces four new questions and numerous further updates, reflecting recent regulatory developments as well as the ongoing discussions with reporting firms.
Compared to the previous public version, the updated guide includes a number of important clarifications, particularly covering recent regulatory developments such as reporting of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC)-sponsored repo and repo cleared via the DTCC agent clearing service, which are expected to become more prominent in light of the US mandatory clearing mandate.
The recent changes to the reporting recommendations also address emerging topics, including reporting of repos involving digital assets.
The Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) recommendations will continue to develop over time, incorporating further input from the European Repo and Collateral Council’s (ERCC’s) SFTR Taskforce, regulatory changes, and developments in market practice.
