18/05/22 (Agence Europe) – The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published on Wednesday 18 May a study showing how regulatory reporting data can be used to identify risks in financial derivatives markets, as in the case of Archegos, a US family office whose collapse in March 2021 led to more than $10 billion in losses. ESMA notes that the build-up of exposures by Archegos was visible in the data reported under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), as well as the high level of concentration and associated risks. This data can not only be used to monitor leverage and concentration risk arising in derivatives markets. They could also support the development of early warning indicators by supervisory authorities. To read the study: https://aeur.eu/f/1p1 (AD)
