ESMA: Update of the list of measures recently taken by competent authorities regarding short-selling


Default: Change to:


Some EU securities regulators have adopted measures in their respective markets either to limit or to introduce stringent requirements or further reporting obligations by firms to supervisory authorities on short-selling.


 CESR published on 22 September 2008 a statement that facilitates an overview of actions taken by CESR Members in relation to short-selling. The statement paper includes either the statements or links to the statements published by CESR Members explaining the measures taken. This paper is not a comparison of the measures taken. 

ESMA updates the list of measures recently taken by competent authorities regarding short-selling. The documents will be updated on a continuous basis; the latest update has been provided by the French AMF and the German Bafin.

EU securities regulators are closely monitoring the functioning of the markets and continue considering possible actions which might be taken to contribute to orderly functioning markets. Any such actions will be taken with a view to strengthening confidence in financial markets and protecting investors.
