The grandly-titled {{tag|EU}} [[Regulation on Transparency of Securities Financing Transactions and of Reuse]] ({{eureg|2015|2365|EC}}) — to its friends the [[securities financing transactions regulation]] and around the kitchen table {{tag|SFTR}}, is a large and pointless {{tag|EU Regulation}} which causes unassuaged excitement among [[Mediocre lawyer|lawyers]] and profound ''[[ennui]]'' among everyone else. | |||

===[[Transaction reporting]]=== | |||
SFTR requires transaction reporting of [[securities financing]] arrangements. SFTR transaction reporting is different from [[EMIR]] and [[MIFID]] trade and transaction reporting — for one thing, the exact time and price of execution of a [[stock loan]] is less critical data point, seeing as either side can cancel a [[stock loan]] at any time without penalty (before or after settlement), so the time of decision to deal is moot — do you ever really become bound to trade a stock loan? Nor, really, is there a price at which you trade a stock loan, since ([[QED]]) a stock lender just delivers a share to the borrower, but keeps economic exposure to the price risk of the stock, while the borrower only takes economic exposure to a borrowed stock when (and if) the borrower [[Short selling|short sells]] it into the market — which is a different transaction (a [[cash equity]] sale), not connected to the [[stock loan]] — it is none of the lender’s business whether the borrower sells the stock or holds it — and if the borrower does sell the stock, that transaction would be covered by the EMIR transaction reporting regime (where decision to deal, price etc is important). | |||
