Are you prepared for the new EMIR RTS ?

The RTS is the third major revision of the EMIR reporting framework. The day of publication in the Official journal of the EU is expected to come in June this year, that means that all changes shall be applied in Mars 2017. The new RTS entails a number of new reportable fields and challenges existing solutions to cope with the new requirements. Some of the significant changes are:

• Revision of collateral i.e. several new reportable fields. 
  • Collateral has to be separated into initial and variation margin. Any excess collateral compared to requirement must be reported separately
• New section for Credit derivative i.e. several new reportable fields
• New handling for embedded derivatives – each derivative to be reported and linked  together (e.g. Swaptions)
• New logic for position reporting                                                      
• Alignment with MiFIR

The RTS will apart for demanding more data to be reported also put pressure on the reporting firms internal processes due to the new collateral section and the additional data that needs to be managed. 

Do you have a solution that can migrate all the changes without entailing excessive costs?
