European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR)
This post discusses regulatory reporting for EMIR and the solution DEX Regulatory Suite offers for this regulation.
The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is a body of legislation for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories. EMIR was introduced by the European Union (EU) as implementation of the G20 commitment to reduce systemic, counterparty and operational risk, and increase transparency in the OTC derivatives market. It was also designed as a preventative measure to avoid fallout during possible future financial crises similar to the collapse that followed the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 2008.
DEX RS for EBA stress test 2021
On November 13, 2020 the European Banking Authority (EBA) published the final methodology and draft templates for the 2021 EU-wide stress test along with the key milestones of the exercise. The stress test exercise will be formally launched in January 2021 and the results published by 31 July 2021. The exercise is primarily focused on the assessment of the impact of risk drivers on the solvency of banks. Banks are required to stress a common set of risks (credit risk – including securitisations – market risk and counterparty credit risk, and operational risk – including conduct risk). In addition, banks are requested to project the impact of the scenarios on net interest income and to stress P&L and capital items not covered by other risk types. DEX Data Explorers launches a module which contains all requested reports.
New lay-out for MiFID II transaction reporting comes into effect
On September 23, 2019 a new version of the MiFID II guidelines has become the new standard. DEX Data Explorers has updated DEX Regulatory Suite with these new standards.
MiFID II is a legislative framework instituted by the European Union (EU) to regulate financial markets in the bloc and improve protections for investors. Its aim is to standardize practices across the EU and restore confidence in the industry, especially after the 2008 financial crisis.
MiFID II harmonizes the application of oversight among member nations and broadens the scope of the regulations. In particular, it imposes more reporting requirements and tests in order to increase transparency and reduce the use of dark pools (private financial exchanges that allow investors to trade without revealing their identities) and over-the-counter (OTC) trading.
Regulatory reporting for PPI
This post discusses regulatory reporting for Premium pension institutions (PPI) and the services Addition Knowledge House offers supporting the PPI process.
