Going further, it also pointed out that as a critical Financial Market Infrastructure, FMDQ Clear, as a Central Counterparty, will de-risk the market by interposing itself between counterparties, becoming the buyer to every seller and seller to every buyer, thereby aggregating and consolidating counterparty risk.

The regulatory environment for the establishment of central counterparty was set with the publishing of the robust and world-class rules on central counterparty in December 2019 after having actively engaged with market participants for several years on them.
