IECA Webinar: Understanding the Central Counterpart (CCP) Model
In September 2018, a Norwegian power market trader racked up losses he could not cover, leaving commodities companies who are part of the Nasdaq clearing house, and the exchange itself, to plug a 114 million euro ($133 million) hole in a contingency fund.
