ISDA fosters safe & efficient derivatives markets to facilitate effective risk management for all users of derivatives

About us

Since its founding in 1985, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association has worked to make over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets safe and efficient. ISDA’s pioneering work in developing the ISDA Master Agreement and a wide range of related documentation materials, and in ensuring the enforceability of their netting and collateral provisions, has helped to significantly reduce credit and legal risk. The Association has been a leader in promoting sound risk management practices and processes, and engages constructively with policymakers and legislators around the world to advance the understanding and treatment of derivatives as a risk management tool. Today,ISDA has over 960 member institutions from 78 countries. These members comprise a broad range of derivatives market participants, including corporations, investment managers, government and supranational entities, insurance companies, energy and commodities firms, and international and regional banks. In addition to market participants, members also include key components of the derivatives market infrastructure, such as exchanges, intermediaries, clearinghouses and repositories, as well as law firms, accounting firms and other service providers. ISDA’s work in three key areas – reducing counterparty credit risk, increasing transparency, and improving the industry’s operational infrastructure – show the strong commitment of the Association toward its primary goals; to build robust, stable financial markets and a strong financial regulatory framework.

    It is our honour to have RBI’s Deputy Governor, Rabi Sankar, gracing our ISDA India Derivatives Matket Forum today. In his keynote address, he shared how India has been making efforts to make India’s derivatives market safer with its commitment to G20 OTC derivatives market reforms and RBI is also looking to implement the reporting of Unique Transaction Identifier (UTI), in line with CPMI-IOSCO guidance. CCIL is also looking to introduce e-trading and central clearing of FX options and other products. There is room for growth in India’s derivatives market and he acknowledged the need to work on opening up access to more diversified players and growing more products. This year, RBI celebrates its 90th anniversary, and ISDA celebrates our 40th anniversary as well. Congratulations to RBI, and we hope to continue this partnership to chart the next phase of growth in India’s derivatives market in a safe and efficient manner.

    “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.
