What is EMIR and EMIR Refit?

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is an extensive set of requirements from the European Commission, ESMA and the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and Bank of England. Firms trading derivatives (financial and non-financial) must report details of all financial derivatives contracts to regulators via a Trade Repository. This includes over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives.

A major update of the requirements known as EMIR Refit went live in the EU on 29 April and in the UK on 30 September 2024. Amongst the changes, the total number of reportable fields has increased from 129 to 203, and there is now reporting via XML submissions using ISO 20022 standards.
