MiFIR: ESMA finalises “first stage” amendments to RTS 1 equity transparency requirements

with more complex changes to come after EU MiFID Review

On 28 March 2022, ESMA published final reports following its review of transparency requirements for equity and non-equity instruments set out in RTS 1 and RTS 2 of MiFIR. This note covers key points from the Final report on RTS 1 (relating to equity transparency), which also proposes a related amendment to RTS 11 (on the tick size regime for equity instruments). 

We will produce a separate note with key points from the Final report on RTS 2 (relating to non-equity transparency).
