Swap Data Repository

Definition

Swap Data Repository. A financial service provider that provides a central facility for swap data reporting and recordkeeping

Swap data repositories ('SDRs') are new entities created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ('Dodd-Frank Act') in order to provide a central facility for swap data reporting and recordkeeping. Under the Dodd- Frank Act, all swaps, whether cleared or uncleared, are required to be reported to registered SDRs. The Dodd-Frank Act added new Section 21 to the Commodity Exchange Act ('CEA'), governing registration and regulation of SDRs and establishing registration requirements and core duties and responsibilities for SDRs.
