Abstract/Summary

This new product thesis paper introduces, structures, explores and evaluates a Domestic Currency Deliverable Sovereign (DCDS) Credit Default Swap (CDS). The DCDS CDS is a variant of a standard sovereign CDS. Upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference entity, the deliverable obligation of the DCDS CDS is a domestic currency-denominated debt of the sovereign reference entity, instead of a foreign currency-denominated debt. This is the primary difference between the DCDS CDS and its standard sovereign CDS counterpart. This DCDS CDS thesis paper will provide a financial engineering perspective and in-depth discussion on this new CDS variant. The paper will provide a product description, features, transaction mechanics, and salient considerations on risk management, accounting, and documentation. In addition, there will also be a discussion on the pricing and valuation model for the product. To further illustrate the product concept, a case study will be provided on Republic of the Philippines (ROP) CDS whose deliverable obligations will be limited to Philippine Peso (PHP) -denominated government securities.
