OTC single currency interest rate derivatives in Australia 2001-2022, by instrument
The average daily turnover of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives traded in Australia grew between 2001 and 2022, increasing from 9.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2001 to 112.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2019. The most common instrument traded in every period except 2001 was interest rate swaps. Moreover, much of the overall growth can be attributed to the increased turnover of interest rate swaps, which increased from less than half of the total turnover in 2001 to around 90 percent by the late 2010s.
