Background
Credit Derivatives are the fastest-growing segment of the derivatives market and are transforming the credit markets. They have become the benchmark instrument for credit risk pricing in the loan and bond markets and have significantly extended participation beyond the traditional players by attracting insurers. The single-name Credit Default Swap has emerged as the standard instrument and focus of liquidity allowing multiple-name products and forwards and options based on it to evolve at a rapid pace.
