In 2010, Singapore (Singapore Exchange Limited), China (Shanghai Clearing House), and India (Clearing Corporation of India) launched their own central counterparty clearing houses (CCPs) in order to regulate the derivatives market. Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan have created task forces to study setting up CCPs. [1][2]

Japan also passed a bill in May of 2010 that requires all derivatives with "significant" transaction value to be cleared through a CCP. In June 2011, the outgoing chief of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) called for the creation of a regional rating agency that stands up to names like Moody’s Investor Service and Standard & Poor’s in the U.S.[3]

The major institutions responsible for creating and enforcing swaps regulation in Asia are the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA), the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
