ISDA appreciates the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Task Force on Cross-Border Regulation’s engagement with the industry throughout this consultation process. ISDA has previously submitted comments to the Task Force on a number of specific issues, and highlighted how OTC derivatives markets have been affected by a lack of effective cross-border regulatory harmonization. OTC derivatives markets have historically been the most global in nature of all financial markets, and the absence of consistency in regulatory reform is having a direct impact on these markets as a result. We appreciate the efforts of the Task Force, in this latest Consultation Report, to identify tools at a regulator’s disposal to address cross border regulation. In this letter, ISDA reiterates how cross-border regulatory harmonization could be achieved, and suggests ways in which IOSCO can reduce undesirable regulatory outcomes that threaten the efficient functioning of markets.
