The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a package of rule changes designed to enhance the risk management responsibilities and resilience of covered clearing agencies.
The proposal, announced Wednesday, seeks to amend existing rules regarding intraday margin and use of sources of information in a covered clearing agency’s risk-based margin system. If approved, the proposal would also establish new requirements for the contents of a covered clearing agency’s recovery and wind-down plans (RWPs).
“Today’s proposal would help ensure the continuity of clearing services during times of significant stress,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler in a press release. “Well-regulated and well-managed clearinghouses help lower risk for the public.”
