LONDON, April 14 (Reuters) - The Bank of England said on Friday that it was deepening its cooperation with the United States' Commodities Futures Trading Commission regarding the supervision of cross-border central counterparties (CCPs), a key part of financial infrastructure. "The CFTC and the Bank reaffirm the primacy of the UK and US home authorities in their respective jurisdictions," the BoE said in a statement. The BoE said that it would recognise CFTC assessments of U.S.-based CCPs which operate in Britain. "This assessment enables the Bank to place reliance on the CFTC's supervision and oversight of incoming CCPs based in the US," it said.
