EU Listing Act - Significant changes to the market abuse regime
The EU Listing Act, which is part of the European agenda to make public capital markets in the EU more attractive, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 14 November 2024. This initiative seeks to increase the number of company listings in the EU and simplify compliance with capital markets regulations under the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). The legislative package includes amendments to the Prospectus Regulation and MAR, which will enter into force on 5 December 2024. Several provisions will be applicable at later stages, i.e. from 5 March 2026 or 5 June 2026.
