Part VIA of the Securities and Futures Act sets out the regulatory framework for reporting of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives contracts, with the detailed requirements in the Securities and Futures (Reporting of Derivatives Contracts) Regulations 2013 (SF(RDC)R). Financial institutions and other persons with significant derivatives activities may be subject to reporting obligations.
