Significant work has been undertaken to improve the transparency of derivatives markets over the past several years. Laws have been passed, regulations have been issued, trade repositories have been set up. Today, the vast majority of over-the-counter derivatives trades are in fact reported, and additional jurisdictions are still going live. Despite this seeming progress, major challenges remain. To help cut through the roadblocks and obstacles that are delaying further progress, ISDA has developed key principles and action steps that all stakeholders should consider and align with in order to improve regulatory transparency.
