MiFID II
Following on from the EU Commission’s December 2010 consultation to reform the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), the Commission published its legislative proposals on 20 October. Very broadly these proposals represent a comprehensive and profound set of reforms which if implemented, will lead to a reshaping of the financial markets, the products and services that banks provide and the relationship between banks and their customers.
The proposals
The MiFID reforms cover seven main areas. The links on the right summarise the changes and the possible impacts for MiFID-regulated businesses.
