CFTC Staff Withdraws Guidance On DCO Recovery Plans And Wind-down Plans
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Division of Clearing and Risk today announced it is withdrawing CFTC Letter No 16-61, Recovery Plans and Wind-down Plans Maintained by Derivatives Clearing Organizations and Tools for the Recovery and Orderly Wind-down of Derivatives Clearing Organizations, effective immediately.
As stated in the withdrawal letter, because systemically important derivatives clearing organizations and derivatives clearing organizations that elect to be subject to Subpart C of Part 39 of the CFTC’s regulations are already required to maintain viable recovery and wind-down plans that are consistent with the risk management requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act, CFTC regulations, and relevant international standards, the guidance is duplicative and not necessary.

Autorité Des Marchés Financiers And Office Of The Superintendent Of Financial Institutions Release Their Report On Financial Institution Resilience To Climate Risks
The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) are releasing their report from the Standardized Climate Scenario Exercise (SCSE), which involved more than 250 Canadian financial institutions.
Based on the findings from the SCSE, while climate-related financial risks may not pose an immediate threat, they could become more profound over the long term and expose the financial sector to vulnerabilities. Consequently, institutions need to enhance their data and modeling capacity in order to support more targeted analysis and integrate climate risk into their core decision-making processes.
“Enhancing the methods for measuring, assessing and managing climate-related financial risks is key to maintaining confidence in the financial system,” said Yves Ouellet, AMF President and CEO. “Ongoing efforts in this area will help safeguard financial stability and reinforce institutional resilience as climate-related challenges evolve,” he added.
“The SCSE was a key step forward in advancing climate risk management practices at financial institutions. The final SCSE report highlights the power of data-driven analysis in understanding climate-related risks,” said Peter Routledge, Superintendent, OSFI. “I thank the AMF for their collaboration, which helped broaden participation and deepen our insights. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for a more resilient Canadian financial system.”
The AMF and OSFI will incorporate the findings of the report into their supervisory expectations and risk management guidance. Future work will focus on assessing financial institutions’ capacity to measure and adequately assess climate- and catastrophe-related financial risks using robust data-driven approaches.
Standardized Climate Scenario Exercise
In 2024, OSFI, in collaboration with the AMF, conducted the SCSE with three objectives in mind. The first was to enhance the financial sector's understanding of climate-related financial risks. The second was to facilitate the building of capacity to measure climate risks. The third was to provide a standardized and comparable overview of physical and transition risks for the vast majority of federally regulated and Québec-regulated financial institutions.
The SCSE enabled financial institutions to effectively build their capacity to identify, assess and quantify climate risks using standardized frameworks and methodologies. For many of the participating institutions, the SCSE was their first experience with such an assessment, which confirmed the overall value and relevance of the exercise.
EACH’s Women In Clearing Series – Getting Inspired By Fiona Van Echelpoel, Deputy Director General, DG Market Infrastructure & Payments, European Central Bank (ECB)
Following the successful launch of the Women in Clearing Network, in March 2024 the EACH’s Women in Clearing Series was inaugurated. This is an initiative with the objective of featuring a key female leader on a regular basis to inspire other professionals in the industry.
This month’s inspiration comes from Fiona van Echelpoel. Fiona has over 35 years experiences in financial markets, gained across various roles at central banks. She worked initially for the Central Bank of Ireland in the Markets Department, before moving in 1996 to the European Monetary Institute in Frankfurt – the precursor to the European Central Bank (ECB). Since 2018, Fiona has been holding the position of Deputy Director General in the area of market infrastructure and payments, with responsibility for oversight and a variety of policy and regulatory topics.
Fiona has volunteered to share with us her personal and professional journey by responding to three questions:
What was the aspect of yourself that you had to work on the most to get to where you are now?
This is always an interesting area to reflect on and if forced to narrow this down to one aspect, probably confidence building would be what stands out most. After my initial years at the Central Bank of Ireland, I had gotten to a good place, gaining confidence initially from investing in doing my work well, getting to know my colleagues and understanding the environment in which I operated. However, when I left Dublin for Frankfurt, I left my comfort zone and I had to start again – and this time in a multicultural environment that was very new to me (Dublin in 1996 was very different to Dublin today!). But even so, the same principles supported me again and I drew confidence from the experience I had gained in Dublin and soon started to find my place, and my voice! It helped that the ECB was growing continually in the early years so no one was “the new girl” for very long. As someone who enjoys the company of others, I soon got to know many people from across different teams and departments – also through sports - which was invaluable. Although I would not have labelled this “a network” back then, in time I began to realise the benefits of knowing people across multiple teams and being able to reach out for advice and support, and I appreciate this so much – still today. I would also add that you gain confidence from the authority bestowed by the positions you hold in the early part of your career, but as you progress higher, it is the confidence you have built up over the years - to speak up, to share your thoughts, to initiate change and to reach out to others - that brings you forward.
What key tip would you give for professionals to successfully develop in their careers?
I would strongly encourage new professionals to take every opportunity they can to engage with those around them, as well as to observe and learn from them (they are called “role models” for a reason!). While it may seem a bit daunting to approach those a few ranks above, you will generally find that they appreciate the approach and are happy to share their experience and knowledge – although do some research first, choose your moment wisely and be prepared to work on the advice offered. It is also important to have someone in your reporting line that supports you and is interested in your development.
How do you see the future of clearing in 10 years?
Technology will have a bearing on clearing, as in other areas of the financial markets – but I don’t believe it will transform clearing into something dramatically different to what we know today – or at least not within 10 years. DLT, tokenisation and AI are just a few of the technological advancements that are being looked at in the clearing space. At the ECB, we are also working on harnessing the opportunity of tokenisation and DLT to help advance towards a digital Capital Markets Union for the European Union – bringing the market with us in a collaborative approach across public and private stakeholders, including CCPs and others in the field of clearing. This is clearly a journey, with the path and end destination also being part of the project, so interesting years ahead for all of us!
Hear more about Fiona by reading the attached document or using this link.
Our heartfelt gratitude to Fiona for her thoughtful and enlightening contribution! We look forward to continuing the EACH’s Women in Clearing Series by hosting many skilled women leaders to inspire other professionals in the clearing sector!
The Women in Clearing network takes the form of a LinkedIn group that participants may use to connect with each other.

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) today welcomed the listing of Orascom Construction, a leading global engineering and construction contractor and concessions developer, on the largest exchange in the UAE and among the top 20 in the world.
This marked the third company to list on the ADX in 2025, demonstrating the exchange’s commitment to expanding market access and driving opportunity and growth through an innovative, dynamic, and transparent marketplace, which is supported by a robust capital markets platform and a wide range of market participants.
Through its deep and dynamic capital market, ADX continues to actively support the UAE’s economic growth, diversification, and competitiveness, offering Orascom Construction efficient access to growth capital, a vast investor base, and an ecosystem that enables issuers to achieve their capital raising ambitions and thrive.
On this occasion, Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), said: “The listing of Orascom Construction is a qualitative addition that enhances market depth and opens new horizons for investors to participate in the next phase of the region’s development. By welcoming a leading player in the infrastructure sector, we are expanding the range of investment opportunities, particularly products linked to long-term infrastructure and energy needs. This step complements ADX’s offering of 12 diverse sectors, including financial services, healthcare, technology, real estate, energy, and others. Such diversity reflects the strength of listed companies, which achieved the highest profitability among GCC exchanges in the first half of 2025, with net profits up 15.6% year-on-year to 88 billion Dirhams. ADX remains committed to meeting investor aspirations and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global financial hub.”
Osama Bishai, Chief Executive Officer of Orascom Construction, commented: “We are pleased to begin trading on ADX today. We are already an active player across construction and infrastructure investments in Abu Dhabi, and we look forward to bringing our unique track record of delivering major projects and investments across our global markets to both new and existing shareholders. This marks the first step in our internal restructuring to expand our construction activities and strengthen our infrastructure investments. Our focus remains on creating long-term value, and this milestone reinforces our platform as we continue to execute our growth strategy.”
Orascom Construction primarily executes infrastructure, industrial and high-end commercial projects in the Middle East, Africa, and the U.S. The firm also develops and invests in concessions, owns 50% of the BESIX Group, and holds a portfolio comprising building materials, facility management, and equipment services. The group consistently ranks among the top contractors in the world and has a secondary listing on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX).
In H1 2025, Orascom Construction reported a consolidated backlog of USD 9.6 billion, USD 2 billion in revenue, and a net profit of USD 82.7 million. Since its IPO in March 2025, the company has rewarded shareholders with more than USD 300 million through dividends and share buybacks – and paid out dividends consistently since 2018. Total dividends have increased 20.7% year on year so far in 2025 to USD 51.8 million.
With a total market capitalization of 3 trillion Dirham, ADX serves as a trusted platform for investing in Abu Dhabi’s capital markets. The exchange has led returns in the GCC and outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over the past decade and global benchmarks over the last 20 years.

US Financial Stability Oversight Council Meeting - Wednesday, September 10, 2025
On Wednesday, September 10, 2025 Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent presided over a meeting of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council) at the Treasury Department.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the Council to convene no less than quarterly, but the Council has historically convened on a more frequent basis. The meetings bring Council members together to discuss and analyze emerging market developments and financial regulatory issues. The Council is committed to conducting its business as openly and transparently as practicable, given the confidential supervisory and sensitive information at the center of its work. Consistent with the Council's transparency policy, the Council opens its meetings to the public whenever possible.
Open session Council meetings are made available to the public via live webcast and can also be viewed after they occur. Upcoming Council meeting dates and times are posted following the official notification to Council members of an upcoming meeting.
Meeting minutes and readouts for past Council meetings are available below. Meeting minutes for the most recent Council meeting are generally approved at the next Council meeting and posted online soon afterwards.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Remarks At The US Financial Stability Oversight Council
I would like to call this meeting of the Financial Stability Oversight Council to order.
Today is the Council’s first public session this year, which is fitting—the start of September is a natural moment for renewal and fresh focus. In that spirit, I’d like to discuss how economic growth strengthens financial stability—and how economic stagnation puts it at risk. Understanding these dynamics is key to advancing FSOC’s mission.
Before we start, I’d like to have a moment of silence for the friend of many people in this room, Charlie Kirk, and the tragic incident that happened today. My heart is with the Kirk family during this devastating time. Inexcusable violence belongs nowhere in a civilized society. Charlie is a brave young man, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a great patriot. Please join me in praying for Charlie, his family, and our country. Thank you all.
Warren Buffett has a penchant for spotting risk before others. He attributes his success in this arena to identifying what he calls “the ABCs of decay:” arrogance, bureaucracy, and complacency.
If allowed to metastasize, Buffett says, these cancers lead to stagnation. And stagnation leads to collapse. That’s why companies—just as countries—must constantly guard against stagnation.
Yet regulators too often overlook the threat economic stagnation poses to financial stability. And they come to regret it later.
History is replete with examples: the Latin American Debt Crisis of the 1980s; Japan’s “Lost Decades;” and the Eurozone Debt Crisis. In each instance, a period of stagnation or depressed growth precipitated financial calamity, including bank failures, currency devaluations, and sovereign debt crises.
These cautionary tales provide a powerful lesson for FSOC. As the country’s systemic risk watchdog, we cannot overlook the significant risk economic stagnation can pose to financial stability. Stagnation can make it harder for businesses and consumers to service private debt. It can raise questions about the sustainability of public debt. It can dampen earnings expectations, reducing asset values. It can lead to investors demanding higher risk premiums. These dynamics can reinforce one another, increasing a cycle of pessimism that spreads stress across the financial system.
By contrast, a dynamic, innovative, and entrepreneurial economy is better able to withstand shocks. Growth is the antidote to stagnation. Which is why expanding economic growth must be among FSOC’s top priorities. Wage gains, increasing business earnings, higher tax revenues, reduced fiscal demands, and lower risk premiums all create buffers—both economic and psychological—that support a resilient financial system.
With a focus on economic growth, in the coming year, the Council will consider ways to enhance the member agencies’ supervisory and regulatory frameworks, as well as other efforts to position banks and other regulated entities to foster innovation and further support economic growth.
Our financial system must also be secure against internal disruptions and external threats. The Council’s work on economic security will include a focus on the resilience of our critical financial markets, including the Treasury, fixed-income, and equity markets, and the resilience of our critical market infrastructure.
To this end, the Council will develop an interpretation of financial stability that will incorporate economic growth and security as key pillars.
And so we will revisit the guidance and analytic framework that the Council adopted in 2023, to promote alignment with our new direction. Under my leadership, the Council is committing to procedural rigor where the nonbank designation power is concerned. There are other statutory tools at the FSOC’s disposal, such as its power to issue recommendations to member agencies, that can, if needed, mitigate the financial stability risks associated with certain financial activities. This tool is more tailored and precise than the designation power, which singles out individual institutions for designation and subsequent regulation by the Federal Reserve.
I thank my fellow Council members for your cooperation in advancing the Council’s new growth and economic security agenda for the ultimate good of all Americans, from Wall Street to Main Street.
