India committed to bring in reforms in OTC derivatives markets: RBI

07 Mar 2014 Evaluate

With an aim to strengthen India’s over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in a report on 'OTC Derivatives Market Reforms’ has noted that India is fully committed to bring in reforms in the OTC derivatives markets to improve transparency, mitigate systemic risk and protect against market abuse, but its pace and nature will depend on the domestic market conditions. The roadmap for implementation of reform measures with regard to OTC derivatives has been worked out with timelines extending up to March 2015. RBI’s report added that its reform agenda consists of reporting of OTC derivatives transactions to trade repositories, standardisation, central clearing, exchange or electronic platform trading, margining.

After the global financial crisis, G-20 nations had initiated a series of reforms in order to strengthen global financial system and tasked the Financial Stability Board (FSB) with coordinating the reforms and assessing their implementation. Keeping in view the hedging needs of the real sector, the OTC derivative products in India were introduced by RBI in a phased manner. The central bank also set up a group to guide the implementation process of key reform measures being undertaken by FSB.

The report prepared by an RBI-constituted implementation group further added that realistic progress has been made in enforcing the OTC derivative reform measures since RBI initiated steps for adoption of the G-20/FSB reforms. The group recommended that standardized proportion of the market should be substantially increased in order to increase central clearing and trading on organised platforms.
