ISLA is pleased to announce the publication of its 2024 Securities Lending Regulatory Horizon Scanner in collaboration with Clifford Chance.
This 2024 Securities Lending Horizon Scanner provides a high-level overview of key ongoing and expected EU and UK regulatory developments that are likely to have an impact on the industry in the EU and UK over approximately the next 2 years.
Developments are grouped thematically and there are also spotlight sections on US developments relating to reporting of stock loans and short selling as well as certain EU tax-related developments.
Further background information and commentary on many of these developments, as well as an overview of the EU legislative process, is available on the Clifford Chance Financial Markets Toolkit. Many of the regulations outlined are covered within ISLA’s Working Groups, which you can find out more about here.
This Horizon Scanner has been prepared as of February 2024. It does not constitute legal advice and is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all provisions or requirements applicable to firms during this period.
