12:00 Oxford Style Debate: True or False- Additional collateral costs will make the OTC derivatives business model significantly less attractive & less well used by the buy side

  • With rules governing futures transactions being less restrictive than current swap rules, are we likely to see the futurization of swaps?

  • Does this regulatory arbitrage opportunity threaten the transparent trading of instruments, the free flow of pricing data, and the security of futures clearing houses?

  • Can policy makers mitigate potential dangers by using other measure such as strengthening oversight of futures clearinghouses and increasing their capital requirements?

  • Could the increased costs from these new requirements prompt a move towards exchange-traded derivatives?

  • Prospects of futurization- Are we seeing signs of it being a reality or still just hype?
