A comprehensive financial reform bill is slated to hit President Obama's desk by July 4, 2010. The provisions in this bill will have major repercussions on those hedging and trading electricity, oil and gas--including new real-time reporting and compliance requirements, increased capital and credit needs, and the potential for major changes in the roles played by current market participants.
All players in these markets are likely to be affected--but what will the impacts be? The devil will be in the details! Broadly defined provisions in the bills and regulatory rulemaking have the potential to drastically change energy markets, simultaneously restricting the activities of some participants while creating a need for new products and services to be provided by others. How will the new regulatory roadmap emerge? How will new position limit and other restrictions on financial institutions affect their participation in commodity hedging? How will the activities of physical and speculative traders be affected, and what kinds of services will they be seeking out from exchanges, clearinghouses and financial houses as a result? What will the initial steps to compliance be?
Infocast's Energy OTC Derivatives, Futures and Swaps Summit--Dealing with the Impacts of Reforms conference will bring together regulators and leading market participants to discuss the path forward and what market participants should do now to prepare for regulatory changes. It will provide invaluable information to trading and compliance managers responsible for the intense reassessment of company policies in regards to capital requirements and credit facilities, back office and business conduct, and regulatory reporting.
