| {{g}}[[Narrowly-traded credit event]] or [[NTCE]] refers to a buried whoopsie in the [[2014 ISDA Credit Derivative Definitions]] that reared its little button nose during a refinancing in 2017 by that scion of the New York Stock Exchange, [[Hovnanian Enterprises]]. | | {{a|cdd|}}{{narrow credit event capsule}} |
| | |
| Hovnanian intentionally withheld a debt payment to an [[affiliate]] as part of a non-stressy refinancing. Though it was financially sound and ''able'' to make the payment, as a “[[Reference Entity]]” in the argot of the [[2014 ISDA Credit Derivative Definitions| credit derivative definitions]] not doing so would technically constitute a [[failure to pay]] — a [[credit event]], by any lights, although a false flag in the context of [[credit derivatives]], which are meant to track credit deterioration.

| This could trigger the unwind of credit protection, market disruption, panic on the streets and a slew of [[tedious]] [[silver circle law firm|silver circle]] client bulletins<ref>But nowhere near so [[tedious]] as their mountainous bulletins on [[regulatory margin]]. Enough already guys!</ref>

| The answer was to build into the [[failure to pay]] definition the requirement for “credit deterioration”. This is what the [[2019 Narrowly Tailored Credit Event Supplement to the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions]], which can be retrofitted to older models by means of the [[ISDA 2019 NTCE Protocol]], does. Implementation date expected to be 13 January 2020.
