Isda AGM: Cautious OTC traders increase collateral use
As the credit crisis gathered strength in 2007, dealers became increasingly likely to demand collateral from their counterparties, according to a survey released today by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
There is now an estimated $2.1 trillion of collateral in circulation, up 60% from a year ago. Out of all OTC derivatives transactions, 63% are now covered by collateral agreements, up from 59% last year - 78% of collateral offered is cash.
The news marks a significant change from a year ago, when Isda found that collateral requirements were decreasing.
