How Do Multilateral Netting Agreements Reduce Exposure for CCP Members?
Multilateral netting allows a CCP to offset all obligations between multiple parties into a single net payment obligation for each member. Instead of settling every individual trade, members only settle the net difference across all their transactions.
This significantly reduces the total value of payments and the overall credit exposure.
