| ESMA consults on the potential impact of shortening the standard settlement cycle
October 5, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, today launches a Call for Evidence (CfE) on the shortening of the settlement cycle. Stakeholders are invited to provide their input by 15 December 2023. |
| The Call for Evidence will help ESMA to assess the costs and benefits of a possible reduction of the settlement cycle in the European Union (EU); and identify whether any regulatory action is needed to smoothen the impact for EU market participants of the planned shortening of the settlement cycle to T+1 in other jurisdictions, such as the US. ESMA seeks input, including quantitative evidence, from all stakeholders involved in financial markets, and not only those in financial market infrastructures. |
