Summary/Abstract: The positive effects of the development of credit derivatives is accompanied by new areas of risk that threaten financial stability. Due to the phase of the market development (the foregoing development barriers were regulatory, procedural and technological constraints) the level of risk associated with credit derivatives in Poland is not comparable to the risk observed in developed ones. The new threats are supposed to be reduced by recent regulatory changes (implementing EMIR, the Regulation on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps and ISDA standards). Achieving this goal will enable the stable development of the credit derivatives market and will increase the chances for effective credit risk allocation in Poland. Some of the solutions may, however, have negative consequences: new requirements for the establishment and functioning of the CCP are not conducive to the transparency of derivatives trading, while the prohibition of „naked swaps” trading can increase the risk premium. This will be especially discernible in countries with weaker financial and economic potential, including Poland.
