Introduction to EMIR

European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is a European Union approach to increase efficiency and transparency of financial markets. It requires counterparties for OTC derivatives to report transaction data to competent trade repositories. EMIR phase 1 in Temenos Transact (since 2015) performs the OC reporting for the Treasury modules (Foreign Exchange, Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements and Derivatives).
