The Financial Sector Conduct and Prudential Authorities have issued a joint communication calling for input by 3 February 2026 on changes proposed for regulatory reporting obligations in terms of Joint Standard 2 of 2020 (margin requirements for non-centrally cleared over the counter derivative transactions under the 2017 Financial Sector Regulation Act). The standard was amended in June 2023, as SA Legal Academy reported at the time.

The changes envisaged take the form of a draft joint notice that, once finalised, will replace one issued in December 2024.

To that end, the draft replacement notice outlines changes to:

• information related to Joint Standard 2 of 2020 requirements (as amended), along with
• ‘the form, manner, content and frequency of regulatory reporting’.
