Banking and Finance weekly highlights—6 March 2025

This week's edition of Banking and Finance weekly highlights includes: (1) our cases round-up from March 2025; (2) News Analysis on the Lastre case looking at the conformity of asymmetric jurisdiction clauses with the Brussels I (recast) Regulation and the 2007 Lugano Convention; and (3) ICMA and ISDA respond to FSB's consultation on NBFI leverage regulation.

LSTA and ISDA submit parallel responses to FSB's NBFI leverage consultation

The Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA) and International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) have both submitted responses to the Financial Stability Board's (FSB's) consultation on leverage in non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI). LTSA and ISDA both emphasise that the NBFI sector's diversity makes it unsuitable for broadly applied regulation. The LSTA advocates for well-tailored, proportionate measures that preserve the benefits of leverage, particularly highlighting that private corporate credit poses minimal stability risks. ISDA recommends authorities first conduct comprehensive system-wide analysis using existing trade repository data before implementing new measures, and suggests focusing on liquidation risks through improved repo market liquidity and central counterparty margining transparency. Both responses underscore the need to balance risk mitigation with maintaining beneficial market functions.
