Many investment bankers and some regulators and economists argued at last week's World Economic Forum in Davos that the growth of the $450,000bn (€350,000bn, £230,000bn) derivatives sector had helped reduce market volatility and made the system more resilient to shocks by spreading credit risk. But other officials fear these instruments may be raising leverage and risk-taking to dangerous levels and keeping the cost of borrowing artificially low, potentially increasing the chance of financial crises.
Senior policymakers admitted it had become hard to track the risks because the sector is opaque, much activity occurs in unregulated hedge funds, and products shift rapidly across markets and between the boundaries of national central banks.
Andrew Crockett, president of JP Morgan international, said: "These new instruments ought to make markets more complete. But there is a lack of transparency ... we don't know how much leverage there is in hedge funds, for example."
