This dissertation focuses on the OTC market, and aims to assess the way in which OTC derivatives have been affected by legislation and regulation in the EU and US. The objectives are to analyse financial regulation, to identify the key issues relating to OTC derivatives, to determine why there is a need for the regulation of OTC derivatives, to compare financial regulation in the EU and US, and to examine the impact of current and future EU and US regulation upon OTC derivatives. The review of literature discusses a range of topics, some of which include the use of derivatives. The history of financial regulation in the EU and US is discussed, and this is followed by a detailed examination of financial regulation, derivatives and risk. The 2007-2009 global financial crisis is discussed in reference to OTC derivatives, and the study then details the research methodology. The dissertation then discusses different regulatory proposals across the EU, as well as discussing the US derivatives initiatives. The Dodd-Frank Act is discussed, as well as the creation of regulatory frameworks. Before conclusions are made, the paper examines the topics discussed.
