Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill Government Bill Explanatory note General policy statement This Bill relates to the linkages between New Zealand’s financial markets and inter- national financial markets, in particular through derivatives markets.
The purpose of the Bill is to enable New Zealand financial market participants to comply with inter- national rules and therefore to continue to enter into derivatives and certain other types of financial instruments with important overseas financial entities.

The Bill is an omnibus Bill, which amends a number of Acts to achieve this single broad pur- pose.

The amendments are made in the context of 2 sets of international reforms.
Spe- cifically, the reforms relate to margin requirements for certain types of derivatives and to the administration of financial benchmarks (which are often referenced in deriva- tives).

The Bill— • • amends a number of Acts to remove impediments to compliance with foreign margin requirements for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives.
This will enable relevant New Zealand entities to continue to enter into certain types of deriva- tives with international counterparties, in order to, amongst other things, con- tinue to effectively hedge the foreign currency risk associated with overseas funding programmes; and establishes a new licensing regime for administrators of financial benchmarks under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
This will enable those bench- marks to be referenced in financial instruments (particularly derivatives) with important international counterparties.

115—1 2 Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill Explanatory note Enabling compliance with foreign margin requirements for OTC derivatives New rules are being implemented across Group of Twenty (G20) countries which require parties to certain types of derivatives to exchange collateral.
This collateral is also referred to as “margin”.

These foreign rules apply to large New Zealand banks and other New Zealand entities, such as the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) and the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, either directly or by virtue of the rules becoming expected market practice internationally.
Some features of New Zealand law impede the ability of affected entities to comply with these rules, which in the event of default require posted collateral to be immedi- ately available to the non-defaulting counterparty.

Inability to comply with these rules may impact affected New Zealand entities’ integration with international financial markets and have significant implications for New Zealand’s financial system.
Part 1 of the Bill makes a number of amendments to the Reserve Bank of New Zea- land Act 1989 (the RBNZ Act), the Corporations (Investigations and Management) Act 1989 (CIMA), the Companies Act 1993 (Companies Act), and the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (PPSA) to enable compliance with these rules.
Key provisions of Part 1 of the Bill— • • • • enable non-defaulting derivative counterparties to access posted collateral immediately (if the defaulting party is in statutory management under CIMA or voluntary administration under Part 15A of the Companies Act) or subject to a short stay of generally no longer than 2 days (if the defaulting party is in statu- tory management under the RBNZ Act): give priority under the Companies Act to the claims of derivative counterpar- ties over those of preferential creditors, including the Commissioner of Inland Revenue and employees, in respect of claims over posted collateral comprised of accounts receivable.
This ensures that posted collateral is treated the same regardless of whether the assets making up the collateral are accounts receiva- ble or some other type of asset.
Claims on posted collateral comprised of assets other than accounts receivable already have effective priority over preferential claims: give priority under the PPSA to the claims of derivatives counterparties over the claims of any other person with a security interest in posted collateral: clarify that in certain circumstances the transfer of title in collateral does not create a security interest for the purposes of the PPSA.
Application of amendments In order to minimise any impacts on non-derivative creditors, the amendments set out above will only apply in tightly defined circumstances, specifically, where— • a counterparty to the derivative transaction is a registered bank, the ACC, the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, or another entity prescribed by regula- tions; and Explanatory note Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill 3 • • the derivative meets certain requirements (such as being subject to a legally robust netting agreement); and collateral posted in relation to the derivative meets certain requirements, such as taking the form of a prescribed financial product (such as cash or certain types of investment securities).
Transitional arrangements The amendments will apply to relevant derivatives entered into after the amendments have come into force.

Introduction of licensing regime for administrators of financial benchmarks The Bill also establishes a licensing regime for administrators of financial bench- marks under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (the FMC Act).
This regime is being introduced in response to new regulations developed by the European Union (the EU) in relation to the generation and operation of financial benchmarks.

Other jurisdictions may implement similar regimes.


The regulations have effect outside the EU as foreign jurisdictions and benchmark administrators in those jurisdictions must meet requirements in the new regulations in order for the benchmarks they administer to be used in important financial instruments with parties located in the EU.
New Zealand banks and other large private and public sector organisations rely on entering into various derivative instruments with EU counterparties that reference New Zealand benchmarks.

These derivatives are critical for hedging, investment, and capital-raising purposes.
If New Zealand benchmarks were not accepted in the EU and affected entities were not able to enter into these derivative instruments, this would have significant implications for the affected entities and New Zealand’s wider financial system.
The new licensing regime for administrators of financial benchmarks will— • • • provide additional assurance around the accuracy, integrity, reliability, and con- tinuity of New Zealand benchmarks: ensure continued acceptance of New Zealand benchmarks in EU financial mar- kets: avoid significant costs to the New Zealand economy that would arise if our benchmarks were not able to be used in the EU.
Part 2 of the Bill— • enables the administrator of a financial benchmark to opt-in to obtaining a mar- ket services licence under Part 6 of the FMC Act.

Supervision and enforcement of licence obligations will be carried out by the Financial Markets Authority (the FMA) and detailed licensing requirements will be set out in regulations.
These requirements will in large part reflect what is required by the EU regula- tions in order for New Zealand’s regulatory regime to achieve formal “equiva- lence” status: 4 • Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill Explanatory note provides powers for the FMA to compel administrators of benchmarks to con- tinue to generate, operate, or transfer a benchmark, and contributors to bench- marks to continue to contribute data or information to the benchmark adminis- trator, for a specified period and in accordance with specified requirements.
These powers are to be used to ensure the continued availability of financial benchmarks for a period of time in emergency-type situations.

This will pro- mote market stability while a smooth transition of a benchmark to another administrator or an orderly cessation of generation of a benchmark can be arranged.
If an administrator or a contributor does not comply with a direction from the FMA, the entity may be subject to civil liability, including pecuniary penalties of $200,000 in the case of an individual or $600,000 in any other case.

Commencement The amendments will come into force on a date or dates specified by 1 or more Orders in Council, but no later than 6 months after the date of Royal assent.
The Bill is expected to be fully in force by the end of 2019, but the commencement date or dates are to be appointed by Order in Council in order to ensure that the differ- ent parts of the Bill can come into force as soon as the related regulations are ready.

Departmental disclosure statement The Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment is required to prepare a dis- closure statement to assist with the scrutiny of this Bill.
The disclosure statement pro- vides access to information about the policy development of the Bill and identifies any significant or unusual legislative features of the Bill.

Clause by clause analysis Clause 2 provides for the Bill to come into force on a date or dates appointed by Order in Council.

The whole Bill must come into force no later than 6 months after the date of Royal assent.

The reason for the deferred commencement is that regula- tions need to be made to give effect to some parts of the Bill (for example, licensing requirements for financial benchmarks).
Part 1 Amendments relating to derivative margins This Part amends various Acts to ensure that parties to certain derivatives are not limited or prevented from exercising rights to enforce security interests over collateral that is posted for those derivatives.

The collateral is property that a party to a deriva- tive puts up to secure performance under the derivative.
Subpart 1—Amendments to Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 This subpart amends the moratorium provisions that apply when a registered bank is subject to statutory management under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989.

The moratorium provisions in section 122 of that Act prevent creditors and other per- sons from taking certain actions and exercising certain rights in relation to a bank that is in statutory management.
In summary, new section 122(9A) (inserted by clause 4) provides that section 122 does not limit or prevent the exercise of any rights to enforce a security interest over collateral that was posted for a qualifying derivative if— • • • the counterparties include at least 1 qualifying person; and the rights are exercised after a particular time; and at the time that the security agreement was entered into, the person that will exercise the rights did not know that the other party was insolvent.
Various key terms are defined in new section 122A, which is inserted by clause 5.

These terms include— • qualifying derivative.

The term derivative has the same meaning as in section 8(4) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

However, it also includes cer- tain forward contracts relating to currency (which would otherwise be excluded from being derivatives by the Financial Markets Conduct (Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts) Designation Notice 2017).
Derivatives are financial prod- ucts that are used to hedge financial risk (for example, a futures contract).
A derivative is a qualifying derivative if— • • the derivative is subject to a netting agreement or netting under the rules of a designated settlement system; and the posted collateral is a financial product, an investment security, a negotiable instrument, or an intangible; and 6 • Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill Explanatory note • the counterparty’s interest in the collateral is evidenced in writing: qualifying counterparties.
This term includes registered banks, the Accident Compensation Corporation, the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, and operators of designated settlement systems.

In addition, regulations may prescribe entities or classes of entities as qualifying counterparties (see amend- ments to the regulation-making power in clause 6 (which amends section 173 of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989).
Unlike the amendments in subparts 2 to 4, the amendments in this subpart require the security interest to be exercised only after a particular time (that is, there is a stay on the right to exercise the rights).

The default time (before which the rights cannot be exercised) is the close of the day after the date on which the statutory management commenced.
However, new sections 122B to 122D (inserted by clause 5) allow the Reserve Bank to reduce or extend this stay on the exercise of rights to enforce a security interest over posted collateral.

Clause 7 inserts transitional provisions into the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 relating to these changes.

These new provisions apply only to qualifying deriva- tives entered into on or after the changes come into force.
Subpart 2—Amendments to Companies Act 1993 Clause 9 makes similar changes to the provisions that apply when a company is in administration under the Companies Act 1993.

Various provisions of Part 15A of that Act protect a company’s property during an administration.

For example, section 239ABC prevents a person during the administration of a company from enforcing a charge over the property of the company except with the administrator’s written con- sent or with the permission of the court.
In summary, the amendments in this clause provide that various provisions in Part 15A do not limit or prevent the exercise of any rights to enforce a security interest over collateral that was posted for a qualifying derivative if— • • the counterparties include at least 1 qualifying person; and at the time that the security agreement was entered into, the person that will exercise the rights did not know that the other party was insolvent.
Clause 10 inserts transitional provisions into the Companies Act 1993 relating to the changes made by this subpart.

These new provisions apply only to qualifying deriva- tives entered into on or after the changes come into force.

Clause 11 amends the preferential claims provisions in Schedule 7 of the Companies Act 1993 (which apply during the liquidation of a company).

Clause 2 of that sched- ule gives various claims priority over the claims of persons under certain security interests.
In summary, the amendments in this clause provide that the change in prior- ity does not apply to accounts receivable that are posted as collateral for a qualifying derivative if— • the counterparties include at least 1 qualifying person; and Explanatory note Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill 7 • at the time that the security agreement was entered into, the person that will exercise the rights did not know that the other party was insolvent.
Subpart 3—Amendments to Corporations (Investigation and Management) Act 1989 Clause 14 makes similar changes to those in subpart 1.

That is, the changes allow a secured party to enforce a security interest over collateral that is posted for a qualify- ing derivative (despite a moratorium that is in place because the other party to the derivative is in statutory management).
The main differences are that— • • the amendments in this subpart apply in the context of a statutory management of a corporation under the Corporations (Investigation and Management) Act 1989 (rather than a registered bank); and the restriction on exercising the rights only after a particular time does not apply.

Clauses 13 and 15 insert transitional provisions into the Corporations (Investigation and Management) Act 1989 relating to these changes.
These new provisions apply only to qualifying derivatives entered into on or after the changes come into force.

Subpart 4—Amendments to Personal Property Securities Act 1999 Clause 18 amends the application section of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 to clarify that the Act does not apply to a transfer of all right, title, and interest in and to the collateral posted for a qualifying derivative where there is no obligation to retransfer the same collateral.
Clause 19 inserts new section 103B into the Personal Property Securities Act 1999.

This new section provides for the interest of a person in collateral posted under a qualifying derivative to have priority over other security interests if at the time that the security agreement was entered into, the person that will exercise the rights did not know that the other party was insolvent.

Clauses 17 and 20 insert transitional provisions into the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 relating to these changes.
These new provisions apply only to qualifying derivatives entered into on or after the changes come into force.

Part 2 Amendments relating to financial benchmarks This Part amends the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (the FMC Act) to allow administrators of a financial benchmark to hold a market services licence.

An administrator can apply for a licence to act as an administrator of a financial benchmark, but is not required to do so.
The granting of a licence and the enforce- ment of a licence are subject to the general provisions that apply to market services licences (see generally Part 6 of the FMC Act).
There are 3 purposes of the new pro- visions relating to financial benchmark licences as follows: 8 • • • Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill Explanatory note ensuring that the benchmark has integrity, and is accurate and reliable, by ensuring that the licence is subject to appropriate requirements, and ensuring that the Financial Markets Authority (the FMA) has powers to supervise and enforce those requirements: avoiding instability or disruption of financial markets by ensuring that the licence is subject to appropriate requirements, and giving the FMA powers of direction to licensees, authorised bodies, and contributors to financial bench- marks: ensuring that the benchmark can be referenced or otherwise used in inter- national financial instruments by promoting the recognition of the benchmark in relevant overseas jurisdictions.
Clause 22 amends the interpretation section (section 6) by inserting 3 new definitions: financial benchmark, administrator of a financial benchmark, and contributor.
In sum- mary,— • • • a financial benchmark is a price, estimate, rate, index, or value that is generated periodically from source material such as transactions or financial products, and is referenced for the purposes of calculating interest, prices, values, or other amounts, or measuring the performance of financial products: an administrator of a financial benchmark is a person who controls the gener- ation and operation of a financial benchmark: a contributor is a person whose activities result in the provision of information or data that is used for the generation or operation of a financial benchmark.
Clause 23 amends the overview of Part 6 of the FMC Act contained in section 386.

Clause 24 amends section 390 to provide that a person may hold a market services licence to act as an administrator of a financial benchmark.

Clause 25 amends the principles that guide the exercise of the FMA’s powers in sec- tion 393 to refer to the new purposes relating to licences to act as an administrator of a financial benchmark (see new section 448B).
Clause 26 amends section 396 to provide that a licence must be issued where the issue of that licence will promote either or both of the purposes set out in new section 448B.

Clause 27 amends section 403 to provide that a financial benchmark licence can be subject to conditions imposed by the FMA to achieve the purposes set out in new sec- tion 448B, for example, by ensuring the benchmark complies with applicable inter- national requirements.
Clause 28 inserts new subpart 7A of Part 6, which applies to financial benchmark licences.

In that subpart, new section 448B provides for 2 additional purposes in relation to licences to act as an administrator of a financial benchmark.
In summary, these pur- poses are— Explanatory note Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill 9 • • to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of financial benchmarks, and to provide for their continued availability; and to promote the recognition of those benchmarks in overseas jurisdictions.

These purposes are additional to the purposes set out in sections 3 and 4 of the FMC Act.

New sections 448C to 448J provide 3 additional powers of direction to the FMA.
New section 448C allows the FMA to direct a contributor of information or data that is used to generate or operate a financial benchmark to continue to provide that infor- mation or data in circumstances where— • • the FMA is satisfied that it is necessary or desirable in order to promote the purposes set out in new section 448B; and the contributor has ceased or is likely to cease providing that information or data.
The direction applies to information or data that is necessary or desirable for the gen- eration or operation of the financial benchmark.

The direction may be made on terms and conditions the FMA thinks fit (see new sec- tion 448I), and may include a direction to provide that information or data to a person other than the administrator.
New section 448J provides that no civil or criminal pro- ceedings may be brought against a contributor by reason of the contributor having provided information or data in good faith and in accordance with a direction.
Where an administrator or an authorised body has or is likely to cease generating or operating a financial benchmark, then new section 448D allows the FMA to direct that person to— • • • continue to generate or operate that benchmark; or cease the generation or operation of that benchmark; or transfer the generation or operation of that benchmark to a specified entity.
This power may only be used if the FMA is satisfied that it is necessary or desirable in order to promote the purposes set out in new section 448B.
The direction may be given on terms and conditions that the FMA thinks fit (see new section 448I), including requirements relating to— • • making changes to the rules, procedures, or documents by or under which the financial benchmark is generated or operated; or the provision of material (such as data, computer software, instructions, and methodologies) to another person, where that material is necessary or desirable for the generation, operation, or transfer of the financial benchmark.
New sec- tion 448J provides that no civil or criminal proceedings may be brought against a person by reason of that person having provided material in good faith and in accordance with a direction.

The purpose of these new direction powers is to avoid disruption to market partici- pants by ensuring that a financial benchmark can continue to be generated and refer- 10 Financial Markets (Derivatives Margin and Benchmarking) Reform Amendment Bill Explanatory note enced or otherwise used on an ongoing basis.
Where cessation is appropriate, the new powers ensure that a benchmark will continue to be available for a period of time and that the cessation will happen in an orderly manner.

New section 448G allows the FMA to give an interim direction where the FMA is considering whether to use a power under new section 448C or 448D and considers that giving an interim direction is necessary or desirable in the public interest.
The FMA must notify the recipient of an interim direction as soon as is reasonably prac- ticable (see new section 448H).

This section allows the FMA to issue short-term directions in cases of urgency.

It is similar to the FMA’s power to make an interim stop order under section 465 of the FMC Act.
Clause 29 amends section 449 to provide that a breach of a direction under new sec- tion 448C, 448D, or 448G may result in civil liability, including a pecuniary penalty not exceeding $200,000 in the case of an individual or $600,000 in any other case.

Clause 30 amends section 451, to provide that the holder of a licence to act as an administrator of a financial benchmark will not be an FMC reporting entity by reason only of the fact that they hold that licence.
Clause 31 amends section 532 to provide that a decision of the FMA to give a direc- tion under new section 448C, 448D, or 448G can be appealed on a question of law only.

Clause 32 amends section 546 to provide that conditions of the type provided for in new section 403(4) (see clause 27) may be prescribed by regulation.
Clause 33 amends section 548 to provide that certain prices, estimates, rates, indices, or values (or classes of the same) can be excluded from the definition of financial benchmark by regulation.
Clause 34 amends section 550 to provide that, before making a recommendation to make an exclusion from the definition of financial benchmark by regulation (see clause 33), the Minister must— • • have regard to the main and additional purposes of the FMC Act; and be satisfied that the extent of the exclusion is not broader than is reasonably necessary to address the matters that gave rise to the regulation.
