Marktmisbruik
De European Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014) en de Richtlijn 2014/57/EU inzake strafrechtelijke sancties op marktmisbruik, beoogt de regels te harmoniseren en de ontwikkelingen op de financiële markten na de economische crisis van 2008 te volgen. De voorschriften ter voorkoming van marktmisbruik zijn rechtstreeks toepasselijk door middel van regelgeving.
Hoe marktmisbruik het vertrouwen van beleggers verstoort ?
Tegenwoordig globaliseren de financiële markten steeds meer en meer, waardoor nieuwe handelsplatformen en technologieën ontstaan. Dit heeft onder andere geleid tot andere manieren om de financiële markten te manipuleren.
Marktmisbruik valt onder de bevoegdheid van de Europese wetgever omdat het de integriteit van de markt vernietigt en tot financiële instabiliteit leidt. Investeerders moeten worden beschermd tegen manipulatie en moeten het vertrouwen hebben om in de EU-markt te investeren.
Een typisch voorbeeld van manipulatie is de manipulatie van referentierentevoeten zoals LIBOR en EURIBOR. Benchmarks Verordening 2016/2011 kwam in reactie op talrijke beschuldigingen van manipulatie van benchmarks.
