Determinations Committees

Determinations Committees deliberate issues involving Reference Entities traded under Transaction Types including Credit Events, CDS Auctions, Succession Events and other issues.

DCs currently operate in the following regions: the Americas, Asia excluding Japan, Australia-New Zealand, EMEA (Europe), and Japan.
