Dodd-Frank Swap Data Reporting: Regulation & Business News

It is the submission of swap transaction data to the relevant repositories or authorities under applicable rules.

Reporting duties depend on the jurisdiction, product, counterparty status and applicable rules; swap dealers and other regulated market participants may have specific obligations.

A report may include transaction identifiers, parties or counterparties, product details, pricing, timestamps, lifecycle events and other fields required by the relevant reporting regime.

Dodd-Frank reporting generally requires covered swap information to be submitted to an authorised swap data repository so regulators can monitor risk, activity and market transparency.
