Credit Clearing Comparative Analysis available

Expanding Central Clearing  was a key objective of the March 31, 2011 commitment letter. In a continued effort to promote standardization in Clearing of Credit Derivatives products, and address operational issues of indirect access, the Credit Steering Committee (CSC) requested that the Credit Implementation Group (CIG) document the comparative models and differences between operational processes for current and future CCP Credit offerings.
