Securities Financing Transaction Regulation (SFTR)

This EU regulation is intended to enhance the transparency of the securities financing markets by requiring those who enter into securities financing transactions to report these transactions to a trade repository. This is more relevant for Money Markets Loans than vanilla FX transactions, but some venues reference it in the FX context also.

Refer to https://www.esma.europa.eu/sections/securities-financing-transactions for further detail.
