DTCC have issued a statement on the Canadian Rewrite
As the Canadian Rewrite go-live date approaches on July 25th, 2025, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) issued the following statement, “With just under three months remaining until amended trade reporting rules take effect in Canada on July 25, 2025, market participants are busy preparing for the revised regulatory framework. The amended rules introduce significant changes to Canadian reporting standards through adoption of certain Common Data Elements (CDE) and continued harmonization with CFTC reporting standards. In addition, changes to the reporting party determination hierarchy and new error and omission protocols mean firms will need to look beyond just data reporting changes to effectively comply with the new requirements.
“DTCC’s Global Trade Repository service (GTR), the industry leader in trade reporting, supports derivatives trade reporting across all thirteen Canadian provinces and territories through its locally designated/recognized trade repository, DTCC Data Repository (U.S.) LLC (DDR). Initial testing for the Canada rewrite commenced in DDR’s simulator tool on March 14th, and comprehensive end-to-end testing began on April 25th, 2025. Clients are encouraged to begin testing without delay to identify and resolve any issues before the go-live.
“DTCC remains committed to supporting firms as they navigate implementation, providing extensive subject matter expertise. In addition to DDR’s efforts, DTCC Consulting Services has been assisting firms ahead of global regulatory rewrites to ensure readiness as well as remediation of post go-live issues.”
