Legally enforceable netting arrangements permit margin exchange for non-centrally cleared derivative contracts reflecting mark-to-market exposure.

Regulation 19 permits a Banking Unit to exchange margins with a counterparty Banking Unit or overseas regulated entity for non-centrally cleared over-the-counter currency, interest-rate, credit and commodity derivative contracts. Margin may be exchanged in freely convertible currency, permissible listed debt securities or sovereign securities to reflect mark-to-market exposure, subject to a legally enforceable netting arrangement and specifications issued by the Authority.
