On September 22, 2015, the Financial Stability Board, together with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the Committee on Payments and Markets Infrastructures and the International Organization of Securities Commissions jointly published a CCP workplan, dated April 2015. The workplan focuses on the resilience, recovery planning and resolvability of CCPs and coordinating the roles of each organization in achieving these goals. A progress report on such work was published simultaneously, providing an update on work that has been done so far and listing an action plan with expected dates of delivery. The progress report states amongst other things that: (i) work on stress testing policies and practices have advanced and guidance will be developed after further analysis of other resilience topics such as CCP recovery and risk management has been carried out; (ii) a report on all CCP resilience and recovery issues will be published by mid-2016 for consultation; and (iii) a report analyzing the interdependencies between CCPs and major clearing members and any resulting systemic implications on global financial stability will be published by end- 2016.
