The CFTC implemented changes to the transaction summary
tables in the "Weekly Swaps Report."
The Report is a Commission publication that provides information
on "trading, clearing, participants, and products in the swaps
market." According to the CFTC, the improvements are intended
to ensure that the report accurately reflects (i) market-facing
trades and (ii) open swap positions that have transferred risk
between independent entities. The CFTC said that the updates
include, among other things: (i) better identification of
duplicative records across swap data repositories, (ii) more
granular assignments for credit swaps, (iii) updated
inter-affiliate identifications and (iv) more extensive tracking of
life-cycle events.
