SFTR stands for Securities Financing Transactions Regulation. It is a European regulation that aims to increase the transparency of securities financing transactions (SFTs). SFTs include repurchase agreements (repos), securities lending, and other transactions where securities are used to borrow cash or other securities. SFTR requires firms to report details of their SFTs to trade repositories, which then make the data available to regulators. The regulation also imposes certain obligations on firms to exchange collateral to reduce counterparty risk and disclose SFTs in their financial reports. The goal is to help regulators monitor systemic risk and improve the stability of the financial system.
