Parties looking to conclude OTC derivatives contracts
(derivatives that are traded outside regulated markets) will face
many new requirements due to the recently adopted EMIR Regulation. Requirements include central
clearing for specified contracts and posting collateral (margin) at
the central counterparty. Which contracts will be designated as
'specified contracts' is yet to be determined. Parties that
are not subject to the central clearing obligation are required to
adopt risk mitigating techniques, as specified in the
Regulation
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
