FIA supports the Bank of England’s initiative to extend RTGS/CHAPS settlement hours and recommends a phased approach, starting with 22x5 weekday operations to enhance liquidity management, cross-border payments, resilience, and market competitiveness while ensuring industry readiness.

At the same time, FIA emphasises the importance of preserving transparent and risk-sensitive loss allocation and avoiding material cross-product subsidisation between clearing qualifications with different participant and risk profiles.

FIA responded to the CFTC's proposal regarding reporting of fully collateralized event contracts via futures reporting regimes.
