How market abuse disrupts investors confidence
Nowadays, financial markets have become increasingly global, giving rise to new trading platforms and technologies. This has led, among others, to alternative ways to manipulate financial markets.
Market abuse is in the scope of the European legislator as it destroys the integrity of the market and leads to financial instability. Investors must be protected from any manipulation and must feel the confidence to invest in the EU market.
A characteristic example of manipulation are cases of manipulation of interest rate benchmarks such as LIBOR and EURIBOR. The Benchmarks Regulation 2016/2011 of the EU came as a response to many allegations for benchmarks manipulation.
