Circular to Licensed Corporations Updated Technical Specifications for OTC Derivatives Trade Reporting

Yesterday the Hong Kong Trade Repository (HKTR) issued a notice (Notice) about updated technical specifications for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trade reporting. A copy of the Notice is attached to this Circular.

Specifically, in order to cope with the floating rate indices emerging from the markets from time to time, a bi-monthly update to the coding scheme “FloatingRateIndex” supported in the HKTR system will be published on the HKTR Info Page.

Licensed Corporations that may be subject to mandatory reporting obligation are advised to refer to the Notice.

For questions about the service, operation and testing arrangement of the HKTR, please contact the HKTR at 8100 3115 or email to hktr@hkma.gov.hk. For questions about the policy or regulatory requirements, please email to otc_enquiries@sfc.hk (for Licensed Corporations and Central Counterparties).
