This course provides an in-depth examination of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), the EU’s cornerstone legislation introduced in response to the 2008 financial crisis to enhance stability and transparency in derivatives markets. EMIR establishes obligations for clearing certain OTC derivatives, reporting all derivatives contracts, and implementing risk mitigation techniques for non-cleared trades. Participants will explore the genesis and objectives of EMIR, its classification of counterparties, and its critical requirements for clearing, reporting, and risk management. Through case studies and practical insights, learners will assess both the opportunities and challenges of compliance, including operational costs, reporting complexities, and the evolving regulatory environment. The course equips professionals with the knowledge to navigate EMIR’s regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance while supporting robust, transparent, and resilient market practices.
