Central counterparties (CCPs) have become a crucial part of the derivatives market infrastructure, supported by regulation that requires standardized OTC derivatives to be cleared. Given the systemic importance of these entities, ISDA and its members believe particular attention needs to be paid to ensuring the risks of a CCP reaching the point of non-viability are minimized. If that point is reached, however, a clearly defined recovery plan needs to be in place that does not involve the use of public money. The ISDA Principles for CCP Recovery paper identifies the key issues that need to be addressed, and makes several recommendations on how to proceed.
