This paper sets out the industry position on best practice as it is applied to the current regulation. It also makes recommendations for improvements that would help to clarify regulatory requirements for the CTP to ensure alignment with how banks manage the risk of such products and support a globally consistent approach to the CTP to maintain liquidity in this important market.
