The effects of the 2007/2008 global financial crisis

prompted the Group of 20 (G20) leaders and their

international coordinating body, the Financial Stability

Board, to review global financial markets to enhance their

stability and integrity, and to provide necessary protections

to financial market participants.

G20 OTC REQUIREMENT

All OTC derivatives trades should be reported to a trade repository

All standardised OTC derivatives trades should be centrally cleared

Standardised OTC derivatives should be traded on exchange or electronic

platforms where appropriate

Higher capital charges should be implemented for non-cleared OTC

derivatives

2009 commit to reform the OTC derivatives

market in 4 key areas:

IOSCO RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OTC

DERIVATIVES FOR EMERGING MARKETS

•Players should have the necessary resources, especially minimum regulatory capital, to minimise the risk resulting from transactions. Market entry

•Disclosure standards and suitability tests of unsophisticated OTC investors can reduce the risk they face. Investor protection

•This can enhance data quality and reporting standards, but the balance between standardisation and market efficiency and liquidity must be taken into account. Standardisation

•For cost reasons, central clearing of standardised contracts makes more sense for large OTC markets.

Clearing/central counterparty (CCP) clearing

•Central counterparties or trade repositories can improve transparency. Regulatory standards and arrangements should be established for them. Transparency

•Reporting should cover at least the size of positions and be accessible to regulators and supervisors. The standards of reporting should be set out. Providing data and reporting

•For transactions that are not centrally cleared, the standards for bilateral collateralisation should be set and appropriate capital charges should be arranged for the relevant risks.

Collateralisation and risk management

•OTC derivatives should be valued realistically. Market value should be applied as much as possible. Where market value is not available, fair value should be used. Valuation

G20 VIEW OF THE ROLE OF A TRADE REPOSITORY

OTC derivatives contracts should be reported to trade repositories (“TRs”) in order to:

improve transparency

mitigate systemic risk

protect against

market abuse in the

derivatives markets

WHY THE NEED FOR A TRADE

REPOSITORY

What to do when we next face a Lehman

Trade repositories act as authoritative registries of key information regarding open over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trades

They provide an effective tool for mitigating the inherent opacity of OTC derivatives markets, i.e. brings transparency

Required to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and protection of reported information.

They will need to calculate the positions by class of derivatives and by reporting entity,

based on the details of the derivatives contracts.

Trade repositories will be obliged to allow parties access to correct contract information to prevent any misuse of data and confidential information by the trade repository or any of its

subsidiaries.

TRANSPARENCY

REDUCTION

• The collection of data and making it available to regulators does not

automatically reduce systemic risk.

• In order to reduce systemic risk regulators/supervisors must:

– sensibly interpret data

– overcome data gaps

– accurately assess risks

– enforce risk-reducing measures

COUNTERPARTY RISK

Credit counterparty risk has proven to be one of

the biggest risks to financial institutions and the

best way to mitigate this risk is through collateral

management.

OTC DERIVATIVES – COUNTERPARTY RISK

AND THE THREAT OF CONTAGION

OTC Derivatives: The default of firm A in an OTC derivative transaction has a

possible contagion effect. It does not only affect firm C it leaves all connected

trading counterparties to firm A and C potentially at risk.

• The Basel Committee provides a forum for regular cooperation on banking supervisory matters with the goal of enhancing the understanding of key supervisory issues and improving the quality of banking supervision worldwide.

• It fulfills this objective by, among other things, issuing supervisory standards in areas that the Basel Committee considers most in need.

LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO (LCR)

• To ensure that a bank maintains an adequate level of

unencumbered, high-quality liquid assets that can be

converted into cash to meet its liquidity needs for a 30

calendar day time horizon under a significantly severe

liquidity stress scenario.

NET STABLE FUNDING RATIO (NSFR)

• To promote resiliency over longer-term horizons by creating

additional incentives for banks to fund their activities with more

stable, longer tenor sources of funding.

• 1 Jan 2018

• Given the structural funding challenges faced in the South African

economy, sourcing stable funding will increase funding costs, whilst

the lack of appropriate funding levels may hamper credit extension,

which is already under pressure.

• The availability of the required stable funding in South Africa to meet

these requirements will also be a challenge

SA BANKS & THE CRISIS

• South African banks were:

• not exposed to toxic assets

• are well capitalised

• generally well run from a liquidity risk management perspective

• not overly reliant on offshore funding

• have only a small portion of funding arising from structured

products

• the necessity for the new regulations from a purely local context

could be questioned, but in order to align itself with global market

standards these are essential.

• Pension funds / Corporates hedging in Europe

have been granted exemption from clearing

• Dilemma …

– Opting for exemption means opting for higher capital

charges on uncleared OTC and therefore a higher
