Market Resilience Efforts
November 6, 2023

WASHINGTON– The Inter-Agency Working Group on Treasury Market Surveillance (IAWG)—
which is composed of sta from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission—today issued a
sta progress report to provide an additional update on a wide range of significant steps its
members have taken to enhance the resilience of the U.S. Treasury market. The IAWG
members have, among other steps:
announced plans to implement a Treasury buyback program in 2024;
adopted amendments requiring certain firms that are significantly involved in the
proprietary trading of Treasury securities to become members of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and report their Treasury transactions to FINRAʼs Trade
Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE);
approved further enhancements to the public release of data on secondary market
transactions in on-the-run Treasury securities;
adopted changes to SEC Form N-MFP that will provide, among other items, more granular
information about activity of money market funds in the Treasury repurchase agreement
(repo) market;
adopted changes to SEC Form PF that will enable better monitoring of the activity of
liquidity funds and will draw clearer distinctions between cash and derivatives activity in
the Treasury markets;
adopted rules requiring reporting of the terms of securities lending transactions in a
timely manner; and
approved changes that will expand cross-margining between central counterparties that
clear cash and derivatives transactions related to Treasury securities and improve the
management of member defaults.
