On 2 February, FIA EPTA submitted a response on behalf of its 29 members to the European Banking Authority's (EBA) Discussion Paper on designing a new prudential regime for investment firms.
FIA EPTA strongly supports the introduction of a new and more proportionate prudential regime for investment firms and welcomes the opportunity to provide comments on the proposals outlined by the EBA. Whilst broadly supportive of these proposals, there are certain elements which FIA EPTA has urged the EBA to consider in order to ensure its members can continue to contribute to the overall quality of European capital markets by providing liquidity to trading venues and end investors.
