Key Trends in the Size and Composition of OTC Derivatives Markets in the First Half of 2024
December 17, 2024
The latest data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives statistics shows a modest increase in notional outstanding of OTC derivatives during the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. While interest rate derivatives (IRD) notional outstanding remained relatively flat year-over-year, foreign exchange (FX), equity and commodity derivatives notional outstanding rose.
The gross market value of IRD derivatives declined amid a shift in central bank interest rate policy. Gross credit exposure also fell during the period.
By mid-year 2024, the notional outstanding of global OTC derivatives rose by 2.4% compared to mid-year 2023. In contrast, OTC derivatives gross market value fell by 14.0% and gross credit exposure, representing gross market value after netting, declined by 20.2%.
Total mark-to-market exposure dropped by 83.5% due to close-out netting. Credit exposure was further reduced by the collateral market participants posted for cleared and non-cleared derivatives.
Market participants posted $364.4 billion of required initial margin (IM) for cleared IRD and credit default swap (CDS) transactions at all major central counterparties (CCPs) at mid-year 2024 compared to $389.0 billion at mid-year 2023.
