A big thank you to T. Rabi Sankar, deputy governor at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for delivering the keynote address at the India Derivatives Market Forum in Mumbai today. “The RBI has played a central role in the development of India’s over-the-counter derivatives market in recent years, putting in place a series of measures that have laid the foundations for safe and efficient trading. At ISDA, we value the ongoing dialogue we have with the RBI, and we look forward to many more years of fruitful collaboration,” said ISDA CEO Scott O'Malia.

“This is a very exciting juncture for India’s #derivatives market. As we reflect on the impressive progress that has been made in recent years and prepare for the implementation of the initial margin requirements next month, we must also think about what comes next.” In his opening remarks at the India Derivatives Market Forum in Mumbai today, ISDA CEO Scott O'Malia set out the important steps that have been taken in recent years to develop India’s over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market and explored the outstanding #operational and #legal issues that must be addressed as the industry prepares for the April 1 deadline for the exchange of initial margin on non-cleared derivatives. In a whitepaper published last year, ISDA made a series of recommendations to support the further development of India’s OTC derivatives market. Since then, ISDA has discussed the recommendations with policymakers and market participants to determine the areas that should be prioritized. “I’m pleased to say we’ve seen strong engagement across the buy and sell side and are actively discussing ways to improve and expand access to the derivatives market,” said O’Malia.
