Details
This SI will make amendments to retained EU law, and existing UK law, related to securities financing transactions (SFTs) to ensure that the regime continues to operate effectively in a UK context once the UK leaves the EU. SFTs are transactions, such as repurchase agreements (repos), where securities are used to borrow cash, or vice versa. The SFT Regulation aims to address concerns that SFTs allow for the build-up of leverage, have pro-cyclical effects and increase interconnectedness in the financial markets. The draft SI itself is provided, alongside an explanatory policy note. HM Treasury intends to lay this SI before Parliament before exit.
