of reported loan volumes as SFTR was bifurcated into two increasing more quickly within the UK when compared to
regimes covering UK and EU. If we compare Q4 2020 – Q2 the EU, although it is perhaps too early to know if this trend
2021 data from DTCC’s European trade repository and its will be maintained.
UK equivalent, we observe a €3.1 trillion drop in reported
loan volumes from December to January, with DTCC UK
reporting €4.4 trillion in its first month of public data. It
is interesting to note that the reported volumes at the
UK repository have been consistently higher in the first 6
months of 2021.
