DTCC to Act as Sole Trade Reporting Service under New Singapore Regulations

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) will provide trade reporting services to in-scope Singapore firms under the final phase of the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) derivatives trade reporting requirements, scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2021. The post-trade market infrastructure said that its Global Trade Repository (GTR) service, working through DTCC Data Repository Singapore (DDRS), is the only service of its kind approved by MAS to operate in Singapore. The final phase of MAS’ Reporting Regulations for OTC derivatives contracts — Phase 4 — marks the last step in trade reporting rules, set out in the Securities & Futures Act (SFA), enacted in 2001 with revisions made in 2006.
