Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

4:05 pm

Mr. Oliver Gilvarry:

They have been improved. I was referencing the money market fund regulation but further rules are coming through on securities financing transactions. They were issued recently and the first Council working party was held yesterday on it. There will be a framework on transparency and reporting to competent authorities through trade repositories in this regard. The Financial Stability Board also did a consultation at the end of August last year to put forward recommendations to improve transparency and riskiness. I would not like to say it has been dealt with, but internationally people are moving forward to reduce and minimise the risks in respect of rehypothecation and securities financing transactions generally.
