Lack of incentives slow uptake of deliverable FX clearing
Absence of regulatory drivers and use of prime brokerage curbing demand, say panellists
Buy-side participation in deliverable foreign exchange derivatives clearing has failed to take off so far due to a lack of incentives for users to make the move, panellists have claimed.

That has meant buy-side firms have had less need to consider clearing their physical FX swaps
