Book of Work

  1. Support changes in reporting regulations
    1. ESMA EMIR REFIT (Dec 2020)
      • In Europe, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is updating the EMIR regulations.
      • The RPTWG will review to ensure coverage in FpML of the changes to regulatory reporting related to EMIR refit changes in reporting requirements. This will involve an analysis of the new ESMA technical standards and might require changes to the regulatory reporting messages (existing messages and/or redesigned reporting messages)
      • Review of the ISO 20022 message changes related to EMIR refit.
    2. CFTC rewrite (Sept 2020)
      • In the US, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission streamlined the regulatory reporting requirements. This includes considering the CPMI-IOSCO work on CDE.
      • The RPTWG will review to ensure coverage in FpML of the changes to regulatory reporting related to any new CFTC regulatory reporting requirements. This will involve an analysis of the revised part 43 and 45 and might require changes to the regulatory reporting messages (existing messages and/or redesigned reporting messages).
    3. Support CPMI-IOSCO Critical Data Elements (CDE)
    4. Support upcoming updates to regulations expected later in 2023: CSA Canada, JFSA Japan, MAS Singapore, Australia, HKMA Hong Kong
    5. SEC SBSR (remove?)
      • In the US, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is looking to release SBSR regulations.
      • The RPTWG will review to ensure coverage in FpML of the changes to regulatory reporting related to upcoming SEC regulatory reporting requirements. This might require changes to the regulatory reporting messages.
