By centralising the collection, storage, and dissemination of data, a well designed TR that operates with effective risk controls can serve an important role in enhancing the transparency of transaction information to relevant authorities and the public, promoting financial stability, and supporting the detection and prevention of market abuse. An important function of a TR is to provide information that supports risk reduction, operational efficiency and effectiveness, and cost savings for both individual entities and the market as a whole. Such entities may include the principals to a trade, their agents, CCPs, and other service providers offering complementary services, including central settlement of payment obligations, electronic novation and affirmation, portfolio compression and reconciliation, and collateral. Adoption of Principles of Financial Market Infrastructures vi. All CPSS and IOSCO members are required to strive to adopt the PFMIs and implement them in their respective jurisdictions. vii.
