Collateral in wholesale financial markets

Dietrich Domanski and Uwe Neumann

BIS Quarterly Review, 2001

Abstract: Over the past few decades, counterparty risks generated by wholesale transactions have increasingly been covered by bilateral collateral agreements. A report by the Committee on the Global Financial System (CGFS), often referred to as the Johnson report,1 pointed to inadequacies in collateral practices as creating problems in the functioning of markets in autumn 1998. The CGFS followed up by setting up a working group to review trends in collateral use. The report of the Working Group on Collateral was published in March.2 This article presents some of its main findings.
