What Is the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR)?

EMIR is the European Union regulation introduced to increase the stability of the OTC derivatives market. Its key requirements include mandated central clearing for certain standardized swaps, risk mitigation techniques for non-centrally cleared swaps, and transaction reporting to Trade Repositories.

EMIR is the EU's legislative response to the 2008 financial crisis.
