In 2017, ISDA embarked on a project to develop the ISDA Common Domain Model (ISDA CDM), a common, robust, digital blueprint for how derivatives are traded and managed across their lifecycle. In June 2018, ISDA published an interim snapshot of the ISDA CDM 1.0, a standardized digital representation of interest and credit derivative products, along with an agreed set of business events in a machine-readable format. This webinar provides a first insight into the approach and the key components of the initial model – the building blocks that make up the fabric of derivatives contracts and the underlying contractual products and events.
