1 Derivatives clearing, central counterparties and novation: The economic implications by Robert R. Bliss F.M. Kirby Chair in Business Excellence Wake Forest University Calloway School and Dr. Chryssa Papathanassiou Senior Expert, European Central Bank Presented at the ECB and FRB-Chicago joint conference on Issues related to central counterparty clearing 3 April 2006 The views expressed herein are our own and not necessarily those of the Eurosystem.
2 Motivation Market structure for clearing derivatives has implications for Efficiency Risk management Systemic risk Current parallel structures OTC derivatives historically cleared bilaterally Exchange traded derivatives cleared through CCPs Clearing structures are rapidly evolving 2
3 Contribution of this paper There already exists related research and ongoing policy discussions regarding Credit markets Payments systems Derivatives Derivatives clearing has been little studied (Prior to this conference) This paper Outlines the salient economic and legal issues Analyses potential systemic risk and market implications of CCP versus bilateral clearing 3
4 Outline of talk What makes derivatives clearing special? Overview of OTC clearing CCP clearing Systemic risk under bilateral and CCP clearing Legal prerequisites to CCP clearing Progress on establishing legal framework What remains to be done? 4
5 Derivatives clearing is different Payments and securities clearing and settlement are completed in a few hours/days Credit risk is introduced through system choices Not inherent in the process Uncertainty resolved quickly Derivatives contracts involve long term credit exposures Transaction is not completed until maturity of contract Credit risk cannot be separated from clearing process 5
6 Bilateral clearing Contract remains in force between original counterparties Ability to exit contracts is limited One or both counterparties are usually large dealers Dealing is highly concentrated Collateral is used to mitigate credit risk Primarily for dealer and inter-dealer exposures Positions are opaque No central locus for systemic information 6
7 CCP clearing Original contract is replaced with (two) contracts with CCP Offsetting contracts are automatically extinguished Credit risk mitigation is centrally managed: Member credit screening/monitoring by CCP Margins Access to other member assets Seat CCP is common agent for pursuing legal claims Efficient loss mutualization Quickly attaching on-hand member assets Backup commitments by members 7
8 Derivatives clearing and market structure Clearing effects market power of Exchanges Dealers Efficiency Easy of entry/exit from contracts Liquidity Costs of transacting Ongoing evolution reflects tension between Preserving private advantages Gaining public and private benefits 8
9 CCPs versus bilateral clearing CCPs clearly reduce likelihood of knock on failures. Losses mutualized over entire member base CCPs are likely to reduce probability of market failures. CCP is single relevant counterparty Central monitoring of member credit worthiness Ability of CCP to absorb losses is relatively transparent 9
10 CCPs versus bilateral clearing CCPs may be marginally better at withstanding common shocks. Wider loss-bearing and greater transparency help May not avoid collapse for truly massive external shocks CCPs are themselves systemically important institutions Their failure is potentially more disruptive than any single dealer s failure 10
11 Regulatory intervention CCPs layers of loss bearing Initial failing member Other members Impose market discipline Even if CCP itself is bailed out. CCPs provide a central locus of regulatory intervention Central information re/ network of risk exposures Quasi-utility status of CCP may mitigate political risks of intervention 11
12 Legal foundations of a CCP The following processes have to be protected from the effects of a member s bankruptcy by means of contracts and laws: Finality Margin Netting 12
13 Alternative legal frameworks Novation: An An existing contract is is terminated and and replaced by by two two contracts with with the the CCP CCP Open Open offer: offer: A A contract is is concluded with with the the CCP CCP immediately after after the the matching of of trading trading details details 13
14 Novation and open offer Both Both concepts achieve achieve the the same same economic result: result: The The CCP CCP is is the the counterparty and and manages contracts for for as as long long as as they they are are in in force force With With novation a a bilateral contract existed existed at at the the beginning, so so CCP CCP rules rules should should ensure ensure that that bilateral credit credit exposures cannot cannot reemerge. re- With With open open offer, offer, there there are are no no prior prior bilateral contracts 14
15 Consequences of novation and open offer for contracts The The default default affects affects the the CCP s CCP spositions; the the original original non-defaulting counterparty s positions will will not not be be closed, closed, by by contrast contrast with with a a bilateral bilateral close-out agreement The The CCP CCP rather rather than than the the non-defaulting counterparty under under a a bilateral bilateral agreement has has to to enter enter into into new new contracts following a a default default to to address address its its consequences 15
16 Access to derivatives clearing CCPs CCPs are are considered quasi-utilities CCPs CCPs must must measure measure credit credit exposures Essential Essential facility facility theory theory may may apply apply Compute margin margin Competition rules rules for for open open and and fair fair access access Maintain Maintain financial financial resources Operator s powers powers to to rule rule on on access access are are contained by by competition and and risk risk considerations 16
17 Netting and margin legal protection European Union Netting since since in in the the EU EU Settlement Finality Finality Directive (SFD); (SFD); Margin/collateral since since in in the the Financial Collateral Directive Communication on on clearing and and settlement (2004) (2004) United States The The Bankruptcy Abuse Abuse Prevention and and Consumer Protection Act Act of of (BAPCA) for for crossmargining and and netting netting in in cross- derivatives clearing organisations is is the the most most recent recent piece piece of of legislation 17
18 Regulatory dialogue European Union National authorities authorise or or recognise a a CCP CCP under under national laws; laws; some some have have designated CCPs CCPs under under the the SFD SFD United States CFTC CFTC or or joint joint SEC-CFTC registration for for derivatives clearing organizations The Committee of European Securities Regulators and the CFTC have launched a common programme to facilitate derivatives business, paying particular attention to clearing 18
19 What remains to be done? Despite the development of standards, there are two issues to address: 1. Customer assets (issues identified since 1995) Relationship between clearing members and and their their clients; clients; treatment of of client client assets assets in in the the event event of of a a member s insolvency CCP s CCP spowers beyond beyond netting netting and and the the realisation realisation of of margins margins after after a a member s member s insolvency insolvency 19
20 What remains to be done? 2. Cross-border issues As As regional hubs hubs emerge in in the the EU, EU, there there is is a a need need to to consider an an EU EU legal legal act act dealing dealing with with risk risk management and and competition Consideration of of multiple defaults or or accumulation of of market market and and credit credit risks risks with with systemic risk risk implications 20
21 What remains to be done? 2. Cross-border issues Conflicts of of law law arising arising as as a a result result of of foreign foreign participants need need to to be be assessed and and monitored Links Links between CCPs CCPs may may help help to to manage conflicts of of law law Regulatory convergence and and cooperation are are necessary (the (the example of of the the EU EU is is particularly relevant in in this this respect) 21
