Portfolio Compression
In terms of undertaking portfolio compression, at this stage of the game, there seemed little interest
in it. Of those that answered the question, 56% stated that they had no plans to do it. Only one
respondent said that they would perform portfolio compression and that they would do this
multilaterally. Not a single respondent suggested that they would undertake bilateral compression.
However, almost a quarter of the respondents said that while they did not perform portfolio
compression now, they

planned to do so in the
future and another 11% did

The lack of interest in
performing
portfolio
compression
however
seems to be a matter of
preparedness as opposed
to a true lack of interest as
almost
55%
of
the
respondents were aware of
available
services
for
multilateral compression.
