Tri-party repurchase transactions are the focus of draft amendments to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) interest rate and currency derivatives rules published by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority for input by 18 July 2025.
According to an accompanying explanatory memorandum, the amendments are proposed in the context of an initiative intended to enhance the JSE’s offering in the interest rate and currency derivatives market ‘through the introduction of tri-party repurchase transactions’. This is noting that ‘the flexibility and efficiencies inherent in the structure of … (these) transactions … (is expected to) have benefits for the broader JSE bond and repo markets’.
