  • Enhanced reporting and monitoring requirements apply to securities under ESM
  • Different ESM stages have varying levels of trading restrictions and margin requirements

Impact Assessment

The ESM framework changes will affect trading liquidity and investor participation in the listed securities.

Market participants should adjust their trading strategies accordingly for affected securities.
