Market Abuse

The critical importance of maintaining clean and transparent markets has led a number of jurisdictions to introduce measures which, typically, control and limit the use of non-public information by those who possess it and reduce the ability of market participants to manipulate the markets in which they are active.

Key amongst these measures is the European Union’s Market Abuse Directive which was introduced in 2003 and is currently undergoing a revision.
