Source: Financial Stability Board OTC Derivatives Market Reforms Fifth Progress Report on Implementation, April 2013 12
OTC derivatives Jurisdictions are making progress on implementation of derivatives reforms
Changes needed to implement the G20 OTC derivatives commitments are
underway across all FSB jurisdictions
As rules take effect, uncertainty about the treatment of cross-border activity will
become a more pressing concern
“Regulators should continue to cooperate in the cross-border application of regulations, to
enable them to defer to each other where these achieve similar outcomes….
Detailed work, and a timeline for action, is thus needed to address the challenges in
translating the encouraging recent cross-border regulatory understandings into practice”
~ Financial Stability Board, September 2013
Deutsche Bank
OTC derivatives Key risks of divergence
Scope of
counterparties covered
Scope of counterparties covered in each jurisdiction differs and some rules have extra-
territorial effect – e.g. some aspects of EU legislation apply to non-EU counterparties,
though not clear if non-financial counterparties are in scope
Issue Risks
Margin requirements
for non cleared
derivatives
For cross-border trades, margin models need to be agreed by counterparties and must
be approved in each jurisdiction.
CCP memberships
Under Article 25 of EMIR, for EU banks to continue to be members non-EU CCPs they
must apply for recognition by ESMA and receive an equivalence determination from the
EC within a fixed time period.
Conflicting clearing
obligations
For cross border trades, CCPs must be recognised by both jurisdictions, to satisfy
clearing obligations. If regulators define conflicting criteria, it will be difficult for
CCPs/cross border trades to satisfy both rules
Intragroup transactions Approval from clearing and margining for cross border intragroup transaction
exemptions depends on equivalence determinations and approval from both regulators
Reporting requirements Trade repositories and swap execution venues need to be able to meet criteria for
recognition in both jurisdictions for cross-border trades. Reporting requirements are not
the same between the EU/US
Overlapping rules The proposed definition of US persons will result in many entities captured by
transaction level rules (margin/clearing). E.g. an EU branch of a US bank will be
subject to these rules when dealing with a US counterparty, in addition to EU rules
Platform bifurcation
Derivatives platforms based anywhere may be bound by US rules if they trade with a US
counterparty. Could result in fragmented liquidity if platforms split their offerings into US
and non-US trading pools

OTC derivatives Approaches to equivalence assessments
14
Other
Jurisdictions
European
Union
United
States
Substituted compliance
The CFTC evaluates whether foreign regulatory requirements are
comparable and comprehensive
Granted on a firm-by-firm and requirement-by-requirement basis (rather than
an analysis of a foreign jurisdiction’s regulatory regime)
Temporary relief for certain transactions and entities to allow for timing
differences between US and other rules
Equivalence assessment
The European Commission can adopt rules determining that the legal,
supervisory and enforcement arrangements of a third country are equivalent
to the EMIR rules in relation to clearing, reporting and requirements for non-
cleared derivatives
Most APAC jurisdictions have included some form of recognition provision in
their framework for clearing and reporting, although as yet there is little detail
on the process and how they will determine whether to rely on home
regulators
At a global level regulators are working together to identify ways to manage rules on a cross-
border basis:
Deutsche Bank
An international approach Understandings to resolving cross border issues?
15
On 30 August 2013, representatives of Australia, Brazil, the EU, Hong Kong, Japan,
Ontario, Quebec, Singapore, Switzerland and the US agreed to:
Consult and communicate when equivalence or substituted compliance assessments are
being undertaken
Take a flexible, outcomes-based approach to assessments
Take a stricter-rule applies approach to gaps in trading or clearing requirements
Consult ahead of determining mandatory clearing determinations
Remove barriers to reporting to trade repositories by market participants and to access
to trade repository data by authorities
Provide for appropriate transitional measures and a reasonable but limited transition
period for foreign entities
However, the process for implementing these understandings remains to be developed
“The Principals agree to deal pragmatically through the ODRG, other multilateral groups,
and/or on bilateral bases, as needed, with a view to ensuring that the G20 goals are met
while also aiming to minimise disruption and legal uncertainty.”
~ OTC Derivatives Regulators Group (ODRG), August 2013

Deutsche Bank
Equivalence is the mechanism by which an authority in one jurisdiction considers the
extent to which it can rely on another jurisdiction’s regulations
How can equivalence be assessed?
Equivalence judgments – one country reviews legislation and rules in another to
assess the extent to which they are the same and may then adjust local
requirements accordingly
Substituted compliance – a regulated firm from one country is allowed to comply
with foreign regulations if those rules are deemed to be equivalent, with decisions
made on a case-by-case basis
Mutual recognition – bilateral or multilateral agreement to recognise regimes and
allow direct access to markets
With the trend towards increased globalisation and the large number of global regulatory
reforms, getting equivalence right is becoming increasingly important
Why is equivalence so important? What is equivalence?
17
Deutsche Bank
If implemented appropriately, equivalence can:
Support consistency and convergence of practices, and cross border passporting
Reduce duplicating, conflicting or complex requirements arising from
extraterritoriality
Support cross-border activities of financial institutions, corporates and consumers,
which will improve:
– access to funding and capital
– risk and liquidity management
– access to services and products
Ensure fair, transparent and efficient markets and investor protection
Why is equivalence so important? Equivalence is essential to cross border trade and capital flows
18
“We are committed to take action …. to raise standards together so that our national
authorities implement global standards consistently in a way that ensures a level playing
field and avoids fragmentation of markets, protectionism, and regulatory arbitrage”
~ G20 Communiqué, Pittsburgh 2009
Deutsche Bank
Why is equivalence so important? Benefits from equivalence require common approaches on cross-border basis
19
However, whether these benefits can be realised will depend on how equivalence
is implemented. Challenges include:
Judgments being made against different standards (e.g. local rules versus global
standards)
Timetables not taking into account implementation status in other jurisdictions
Insufficient adaptation to local context (e.g. legal frameworks, market development)
“Differences in approaches are emerging in some areas that could weaken the effectiveness
of reforms in these markets, create potential opportunities for regulatory arbitrage, or
subject market participants and infrastructures to conflicting regulatory requirements.” ~ Financial Stability Board (FSB), April 2011
“We will not seek to apply our rules (unreasonably) in the other jurisdiction, but will rely on
the application and enforcement of the rules by the other jurisdiction.”
~ US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and EU joint announcement on cross-border
derivatives, July 2013
Deutsche Bank
Risks of fragmentation Benefits from equivalence require common cross border approaches
20
1. Disruption of cross border activity – lack of a proportionate approach to
equivalence may disrupt the risk management activities of multinational companies,
reduce liquidity in certain jurisdictions and create legal uncertainty
2. Competitive distortions – lower standards in one jurisdiction create competitive
advantages, unnecessarily restrictive standards damage competitiveness
3. Trapped capital – rules which ring fence capital within borders can undermine global
flows of capital and potentially increase financial stability risks
4. Regulatory arbitrage – fragmented rules create damaging opportunities for
arbitrage
5. Undermining cross border resolution – if national resolution regimes are not
recognised on a cross border basis the resolution of cross border banks will be
difficult, creating financial stability risks

US has increased pace
and tightened regulations:
Risks of fragmentation International coordination in a fragmented environment is challenging
However, through the G20/FSB and international standards setting bodies like IOSCO
and the BCBS, we have a framework through which these challenges can be resolved
Deutsche Bank
G20 endorsement of equivalence principles must be unequivocal by the entire membership
Agreements intended to support consistency should not be undermined by national implementation
Political reality and policy-making processes may still result in local variations in practices, but should expect
shared objectives and alignment with global agreements
Primary legislation and regulations should reflect or reference global standards
Outcomes-focused approaches will allow for differences between jurisdictions
Prescriptive approaches will inevitably result in fragmentation - undermining coordination and consistency
needed for stability and growth and to support cross-border activity
Equivalence should not equate to the exporting of detailed rules to another jurisdiction or ultra vires regulation
Impact studies should consider implications for other jurisdictions
Recommendations Guiding principles for assessment approaches
23
National implementation should take into account the global dimension
The G20 standard must be the standard
Extraterritorial impacts should be avoided

Clearing rules indicate a clear relationship between the CCP, its members and clients of the member.
Clear client protection. Clear segregation and portability requirements.
FSC, FSS and KRX’s willingness to cooperate with foreign regulators.
Inevitable that national laws will not match perfectly
(i) legal framework – laws & regulations, clearing rules
(ii) regulatory bodies – FSC, FSS and BOK
Extraterritoriality issues – FSCMA, “Real Name Act”, etc.

Resolution Frameworks What are the consequences of a lack of international coordination?
Single Group Recovery and Resolution Plan
Works with the grain of consolidated
supervision and group-wide bank management
Most appropriate for centrally structured banks
using “Single Point of Entry” (SPE) strategy
Multiple Local Recovery and Resolution Plans
Reassures host authority that operations of
foreign banks can be safely resolved
More suitable for banks with many subsidiaries
to take “Multiple Point of Entry” (MPE) approach
Multiple
recovery and
resolution
plans
Multiple RRPs may lead to multiple resolution strategies and lack of clarity in a resolution event
Group-wide approach to loss absorbency
Minimum bail-in requirements should be set at
the most appropriate level for resolution plan
For SPE, this will be at group level while solo
level requirements are appropriate for MPE
Fragmented approach to local requirements
Duplication of bail-in minima at group and solo
level will require significant debt issuance
Financial stability implications of wholesale
funding with no clear business purpose
Multiple
levels of
resources
for bail-in
Multiple requirements for bail-in may distort bank funding markets and individual bank structures
Cooperation and coordination
Firm-specific cooperation agreements identify
barriers to coordination ahead of a crisis
National regime recognises foreign action and
minimises impact on overseas financial stability
Effective or actual national ring-fencing
“Plan B” assumption of no cooperation becomes
default option in a crisis when trust is low
Incentivises national requirements to hold capital
onshore or subsidiarise, trapping capital flows
Incentives
for national
ring-fencing
Without confidence in coordinated action, countries may require national subsidiarisation
