FAQs
1. Are cryptocurrencies included in the Survey?
Cryptocurrencies are not included in the Survey. The current statistical recommendations treat cryptocurrencies as assets that do not give rise to a liability because there are no issuers of cryptocurrencies (unlike currencies issued by central banks). Furthermore, they are currently treated as non-financial assets.
2. What is the impact of the Libor transition on the reporting?
Reporting dealers that provide data to national authorities are advised to report single-currency forward rate agreements (FRA) and interest rate swaps (IRS) using the new reference rates (ie overnight risk-free rates, RFRs) for CHF, GBP, JPY, and in addition EUR and USD, as overnight index swaps (OIS). IRS referencing term unsecured rates (such as Euribor, Tibor, ICE Bank Yield Index, The Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY), Ameribor or any other forward-looking credit sensitive benchmark) should still be reported as such. In amounts outstanding, the legacy FRA and IRS contracts that originated before the shift to new reference rates (ie overnight RFRs) and affected thereby should be classified as OIS.
3. How do settlement days impact the maturity classification of same day, spot, and FX forward instruments?
Cash/same day transactions should be reported under spot. Settlement for spot is normally up to 2 trading days. FX forwards have longer settlement periods.
The Triennial Survey, the most comprehensive source of information on the size and structure of global FX and OTC interest rate derivatives markets, provides a snapshot of market activity in April 2022. Central banks and other authorities in 52 jurisdictions participated, collecting data from more than 1,200 banks and other dealers in their jurisdictions. The 13th Triennial Survey of turnover in foreign exchange spot markets, foreign exchange and interest rate OTC derivatives markets, is conducted in April 2022. Data on the outstanding notional amounts and gross market values of foreign exchange, interest rate, equity, commodity, credit and other OTC derivatives contracts are collected at end-June 2022 for markets worldwide.
Activity in FX markets has been surveyed every three years since 1986, and in OTC interest rate derivatives markets since 1995. The Triennial Survey is coordinated by the BIS under the auspices of the Markets Committee (for the FX part) and the Committee on the Global Financial System (for the interest rate derivatives part). It has been supported through the Data Gaps Initiative endorsed by the G20.
