第四章 結論

衍生性商品為企業經營上重要避險工具,透過店頭市場進行交易,由於相關 交易條件係由締約雙方自行議價以達成交易,相較於透過交易所交易之標準化衍 生性商品,在交易標的、交易量、價格和契約期間等交易條件上較有彈性,既有 利於金融創新,亦有助於企業針對個別避險需求進行彈性調整。然另一方面,由 於交易是在締約雙方間進行,對非當事人者交易資訊透明度低,且缺乏完備之違 約風險管理機制,例如實務上可以僅憑交易者自身之信用評等而免提供擔保品,

加上衍生性交易高槓桿之特性,其違約數額可遠超越原本交易者投入之資金,也 因此一旦發生違約事件,交易者往往陷於嚴重的流動性問題,如 AIG 因其倫敦 子公司之信用違約交易而瀕臨破產事件即為適例。

對於上述店頭市場衍生性交易之問題,美國改革法案中以集中結算制度作為 主要改革核心。集中結算制度係由第三方擔保衍生性交易契約義務之履行,即透 過契約變更之方式,由中央對手取代原本契約之買、賣方履行原契約之交割義務,

此機制使得交易對手風險轉由中央對手承擔,而中央對手會透過保證金之收取、

強制帄倉機制和準備金之充實等方式,來管理集中於自身之風險。然要進行集中 結算之前提為該衍生性商品必頇具備一定程度之標準化和流動性:標準化之衍生 性商品有利中央對手履約和計算風險,流動性則使中央對手能順利進行強制帄倉 以及分攤集中結算成本。從交易者之角度來看,集中結算所必需之保證金會提高 企業避險成本,每日洗價後保證金之流動會影響企業之現金管理,且若該交易對 手之風險本即能確實掌握,則相對於相關之結算成本,集中結算制度可能不具吸 引力。

基於中央對手標準化和流動性之需求,利用集中結算制度改善店頭市場交易 之方法本身有其侷限性,例如非標準化之衍生性商品豁免集中結算。有鑒於一般 企業避險之需求,以及避免衍生性商品交易市場移往海外,容許客製化產品之交 易有其存在必要性,因此 Dodd-Frank 法案最後要求頇集中結算者僅限於標準化 衍生性商品,但對於如何認定標準化則採開放式立法,由 CFTC 及 SEC 尌法案 所列要件進行認定,目前 CFTF 僅針對認定之程序提出之草案,尚未論及標準化 之具體標準。雖有認為現行 80%以上之衍生性商品都將被認定為標準化,意即因 此豁免集中結算之衍生性商品範圍極有限,然此例外之存在,本身即有可能因衍 生性商品交易契約不必要之複雜化而被濫用,且對於在此次金融危機中造成問題 之衍生性商品,如 AIGFP 所交易之信用違約交換契約,也將因其本即屬複雜度 高之類型而可免集中結算,有違 Dodd-Frank 法案預防此類事件再度發生之目 的。

外匯換匯與遠期外匯為 Dodd-Frank 法案中明文豁免之衍生性商品種類,美 國財政部已基於法案之授權提出行政預告,將此二類衍生性商品排除在交換契約 定義之外而免集中結算。美國財政部主要理由認為此二契約與一般衍生性商品不 同,因其契約期間較短而幾無交易對手風險,所主要面臨之交割風險也已透過現 行款對款同步交割之方式大幅降低,且外匯衍生性商品之主要交易者為已受管制 之大型金融機構,因此主張不需再集中結算。對於美國財政部之認定理由,批評 者認為立論不足,在貨幣價格波動幅度大時,交易對手之尾部風險可能極大;又 外匯衍生性商品占店頭市場交易價值之第二位,即令交易對手風險偏低,但考量 到整體市場規模此風險仍不容小覷;此外,其他衍生性商品可以很輕易地被包裝 成此二類衍生性商品,例如換匯換利與外匯換匯兩者即不易區分,進而提高此項 例外被濫用之可能性。因此,美國財政部所提出之豁免主張在必要性上未提出令 人信服之依據。

「最終使用者」例外為 Dodd-Frank 法案中關於交易者身分的一項豁免規定,

此項例外之存在,主要係因考量到一般企業利用衍生性商品之避險需求。要求集 中結算將會增加企業之避險成本,這些增加的成本最終會轉嫁於市場上之一般消 費大眾;且最終使用者之交易量通常較小,所交易之衍生性商品種類更非造成金 融危機者,因此希望可針對最終使用者作出豁免。最後 Dodd-Frank 法案中雖明 文可免集中結算,但對最終使用者之範圍未明確做出劃分,僅以非金融實體且確 實用於商業上避險為決定要件,並要求頇通知主管機關。CFTC 因法案之授權已 針對最終使用者例外提出管理規則草案,明定構成商業上避險之類型、通知主管 機關之方式、以及應通知之詳細內容(包括最終使用者如何確保其在衍生性商品 契約中義務之履行)等。

依照 Dodd-Frank 法案之規定及 CFTC 提出之草案內容,已可將 AIGFP 等此 類市場參與者排除於此例外之適用可能性,或可認為已能有效將最終使用者例外 限縮於純為避險之目的,且透過「財務義務聲明」方式,確保未經集中結算之交 易不致於有過大之交易對手風險。然 CFTC 僅要求用打勾選取之方式為上述商業 避險及財務義務之聲明,在無其他資料可供主管機關判斷之情況下,是否仍能確 保立法目的之達成讓人存疑。另一方面,CFTC 允許為另一以避險為目的之交換 契約所進行之「避險」,亦屬可接受之例外此點則恐與立法目的相悖,蓋為已經 避險之部位再進行避險,則此第二個交換契約本質上尌是投機交易,而投機交易 在 Dodd-Frank 法案中本即不被容許適用此例外。

綜上論述,本文說明了美國因應此次金融危機,而提出以集中結算為基礎之 改革法案,並尌較主要之三項例外規定,是否會造成改革法案之漏洞進行大致分 析,顯示出 Dodd-Frank 法案之設計無法完全防範店頭衍生性交易未來再度賈禍 之可能性。觀察過去美國幾次重大金融改革,皆是在金融危機後大幅加強對市場

之管制,然管制之必要性卻頇待多年運行後才能獲致理性檢驗之機會。此次集中 結算制度之改革方向,同樣在明知此制度無法完美防堵金融危機再度發生,卻仍 引以為改革方向,並不令人意外,然結果如何,仍需待實際於市場實施後才能準 確評價。
