Dublin – Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “European Market Infrastructure Regulation” conference to their offering.
The EU has taken on board the G20 commitments and recommendations on reforming the derivatives market. EMIR’ (the European Market Infrastructure Regulation) is the central pillar of this wide ranging program of regulatory reform. It builds a new regulatory framework where market participants have to play and define a new set of rules to comply with. EMIR is significantly shaping the derivatives’ world and affects risk management, counterparty risk – including central counterparties – clearing, collateralisation and reporting.
