“Exchanges Raise Concerns Over ESMA’s Annual Statistical Report On 2020 Data” - In 2020, The UK Was Still Part Of The EU Single Market, Accounting For 70% Of Turnover In EEA Equity. By Excluding The Majority Of Trading In EEA Instruments, The Report Portrays A Misleading Picture Of Markets, Says The Federation Of European Securities Exchanges (FESE)

Date 20/12/2021

As per the withdrawal agreement, the UK remained part of the EU single market until the end of 2020, with its trading still subject to the MiFIR share trading obligation. As of 1st January 2021, UK trading was outside the EU single market and hence, through the share trading obligation, a significant part of this UK activity migrated to the EU. However, ESMA’s Annual Statistical Report for 2020 data presents indicators for EEA30, excluding UK data, and so reaching conclusions that misrepresent the reality. The truth is that, in the year 2020, the UK was a central part of the EEA securities markets.
