Evolving Landscape of OTC Derivatives Regulation
The regulation of OTC derivatives is gaining traction globally. In September, the Canadian securities regulators introduced a comprehensive rule to regulate OTC derivatives for dealers and advisers. This new rule, aligning with international standards, aims to foster transparency, accountability, and ethical practices in the OTC derivatives market in Canada.

This framework is a crucial step towards ensuring the integrity of the OTC derivatives market.
