FIA EPTA responds to FCA proposal on publicising enforcement investigations
FIA EPTA has responded to the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s public consultation on changes to its approach to enforcement investigations. The proposed changes include the FCA publicly announcing the opening of an investigation and disclosing the identity of the subject of the investigation where it considers this to be in the public interest. While the associations support the FCA’s commitment to making its activities more transparent, they are concerned that the proposed approach will be detrimental to the orderly functioning of UK capital markets with limited value to public interest.

FIA EPTA response to the FCA Consultation on Improving transparency for bond and derivatives markets (FCA CP 23/32)
FIA EPTA welcomes the FCA’s proposals on improving bonds and derivatives transparency. Our members are very supportive of both the ambition and simplicity shown regarding both pre-trade and post-trade transparency. A less complex regime will be easier for firms and trading venues to comply with and administer and above all will make UK capital markets more attractive. The inclusion of sovereign bonds in this ambitious framework is a particularly innovative step and will support the growth and competitiveness of UK capital markets with tangible benefits to the real economy.
