Abstract

The article provides key aspects of margining procyclicity on the horizon of historic volatility. The goal of the research is to study specific features of margining procyclicity to develop counter-cyclic measures. The research subject is restriction of margining procyclicity in the National Clearing Center. On the basis of historic dynamics of risk-factors trends were revealed causing cardinal change in risk-parameters of margining, which later can put excess marginal burden on finance market participants during the shock on finance market. The problem of time lag of response on stress was analyzed, as it is connected with the period of assessing the current volatility and external factors influencing the change of margining cycle stage. To identify the most dynamic to changes margining parameters the structure of protection levels of the National Clearing Center in Russia is analyzed. The article gives an example of colliding with procyclicity of overseas clearing centers and studies IOSCO recommendations concerning introduction of necessary measures of countercyclicity. Findings of the research serve as a recommendation indicator of procyclicity monitoring, which helps reduce margining burden on clearing participants and balance requirements during inter-cycling periods.
