On November 19, 2021, ISDA and the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) submitted a joint response on the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) consultation on the review of certain aspects of the short selling regulation. The response covers ESMA’s analysis on the impact of short selling bans, the definition of the relevant competent authority and ESMA’s proposal on a centralized notification and publication system, among other areas.

ESMA is now expected to take stakeholder feedback into account and submit a report to the European Commission in the first quarter of 2022.
