European Market Infrastructure Regulation

Refreshed February 2024 | CPD time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is a European Union law which is designed to increase the stability of over-the-counter derivative markets throughout EU states by increasing transparency and reducing counterparty risk. EMIR also establishes common organisational, conduct of business and prudential standards for central counterparties and trade repositories. This module examines EMIR, and its requirements for margining, clearing and the clearing obligation, reporting requirements and risk management, and market stability.
