The ESMA 2022 Report on Quality and Use of Transaction Data is a study conducted by the regulatory authority to assess the quality and utilisation of transaction data across the European Union (EU).

One trend highlighted is that the number of reports with missing valuations is declining. This is something that ESMA have been targeting for years, as the valuations give the regulator a much better picture of the overall systematic risk by having a better understanding of the aggregate exposure being held in the OTC marketplace.

This reduces the burden on smaller non-financial counterparties.
