CFTC Proposes Margin Amendments to Align with BCBS/IOSCO and Adjust Minimum Transfer Amounts (MTAs) | Practical Law
The CFTC proposed amendments to the definition of "material swap exposure" under CFTC margin rules for uncleared swaps in order to align certain measurement dates and initial margin (IM) calculations with global BCBS/IOSCO rules. The proposed amendments would also permit use of counterparty IM calculations and address issues relating to uncleared swap margin minimum transfer amounts (MTAs).
