The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) has selected two vendors to offer trade repository for the foreign exchange market, The Wall Street Journal reports. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and networking and messaging provider Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) have acquired the mandate.
The exchange repository is required to comply with the proposed regulatory changes. Trade repositories support increased safety and soundness of financial markets through greater transparency to global regulators of transactional information and counterparty risk exposures.
