Today’s publication includes the validations rules applicable to SFTR reports as well as the XML schemas reporting entities should use, including:

  • Counterparty and TR data exchange;
  • Intra-TR data exchange; and
  • TR to authority data exchange.

Under the SFTR, both parties to an SFT need to report new, modified or terminated SFTs to a registered or recognised trade repository (TR), including the composition of the collateral.
