This document sets out the finalised policy recommendations in the framework for haircuts on certain non-centrally cleared securities financing transactions (SFTs), based on the public consultation findings. The framework aims to address financial stability risks associated with SFTs. This work, which was earlier published in October 2014, sets out numerical haircut floors to apply to non-bank-to-non-bank SFTs and updates the implementation dates of the FSB’s recommendations on SFTs.
