  • FIA, ISDA, GFMA, CMC and CMCE respond to IOSCO consultation on OTC commodities position reporting

    FIA, alongside ISDA, GFMA, CMC and CMCE, has responded to IOSCO’s consultation on best practices for OTC commodities position reporting. The associations support IOSCO’s objectives but emphasises that regulators should prioritise better use of existing OTC derivatives data and enhanced cross-border cooperation, rather than introducing new reporting requirements.
