- Benchmarks Regulation (BMR)
  The European Union has started to enforce its Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) in order to regulate the provision of, contribution to and use of a wide set of benchmarks. The BMR imposes new requirements on firms that provide, contribute to or use a wide range of interest rate, currency, securities, commodity and other indices and reference prices. Read more about the new Benchmarks Regulation.
- Market Abuse Regulation (MAR)
  The Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) aims to increase market integrity and investor protection, enhancing the attractiveness of securities markets for capital raising. It contains prohibitions of insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation, and provisions to prevent and detect these.
