AFME has outlined member concerns around the EU Retail Investment Strategy proposals, responding to the EU Commission’s ‘Have your say’ consultation on the matter
The consultation package provides a framework to guide the activities of service providers under the Regulation on Markets in Cryptoassets (MiCA), which entered into force in the European Union on 29 June 2023
The framework follows feedback from MAS’ October 2022 public consultation on the topic, and aims to ensure a high degree of value stability for stablecoins regulated in Singapore
The draft amendments have been put forward to support the ongoing reporting of securities financing transactions under the post-Brexit UK version of SFTR
As part of its responsibility to preserve financial stability, the Bank of England has proposed additional powers to restrict discretionary payments to CCP shareholders or employees in severe circumstances, including dividends and share buy-backs
The UK financial regulator will extend temporary measures introduced in January 2022 relating to short sales reporting under UK RTS 22 and there will be no penalty for firms that fail to complete SFT fields and other indicators
The UK regulator will extend access to the scheme to a wider range of start-ups and will allow data providers to list their data on the platform, extending access to over 200 synthetic, public or anonymised data sets
ESMA has published its 2022 report on sanctions under the Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities directive and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive
These amendments, the SEC says, are designed to reduce the risk of investor runs on MMFs during periods of market stress by boosting MMF liquidity, improving transparency and reinforcing anti-dilution practices
