Proposed OTC Market Regulation Garners Mixed Opinions
LCG, April 8, 2002-Senator Dianne Feinstein's proposal for a transparent over-the-counter derivatives market is feared by some to lead to a more ambiguous and secretive energy market.California's Democratic Senator Feinstein has attempted to require price disclosure and capitalization requirements for market players who participate in over-the-counter (OTC) markets. OTC participants trade outside regulated exchanges. The energy bill which includes this amendment will be debated in Congress today.Energy consultants and analysts, such as Peter Fusaro from Global Change Associates, insist that transparency legislation will just result in such markets moving offshore. Spokesmen from Dynegy and IntercontinentalExchange also oppose the legislation, insisting that the government officials do not properly understand the market.Legislators charge that the opaque OTC market was manipulated to affect power prices last year, and many analysts and economists assert that this legislation could prevent what happened to Enron.Economist Randall Dodd, previously of the CFTC, said "If Enron (Online) had been properly capitalized and collateralized I think Enron as a derivatives dealer would have survived - and that was the most profitable part of their business"
