ICMA publishes updated version of its SFTR reporting recommendations
29 June 2026 ICMA has published today an updated version of its detailed Recommendations for Reporting under SFTR. This latest update introduces 4 new questions and numerous further updates, reflecting recent regulatory developments as well as the ongoing discussions with reporting firms. Compared to the previous public version, the updated Guide includes a number of important clarifications, particularly covering recent regulatory developments such as reporting of DTCC-sponsored repo and repo cleared via the DTCC agent clearing service, which are expected to become more prominent in light of the US mandatory clearing mandate. It also addresses emerging topics, including reporting of repos involving digital assets.
A blackline version has been published alongside the Guide to provide a comprehensive overview of all changes.
The SFTR Recommendations will continue to develop over time, incorporating further input from the ERCC’s SFTR Taskforce, regulatory changes, and developments in market practice.
