One of the near casualties of the global financial crisis (Crisis) was the march toward a more principles-based global regulatory structure that simultaneously encouraged cross-border transactions and recognized sovereign authorities over them without the necessity of a one-size-fits-all regulatory framework. The implementation of the G20 reforms for over-the-counter derivatives was far more prescriptive than principled. Post-crisis implementation of the G20 reforms, embodied in the United States in Title 7 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, yielded a costly, and in some markets, persistent loss of liquidity and fragmentation as market participants have attempted to sort out complex and sometimes competing regulatory requirements for reporting, trading, clearing, margin, and capital in practice.
