Vienna Stock Exchange CEO Boschan Supports National Short Selling Regulation
Date 18/03/2020
Today, the Austrian Financial Market Authority FMA issued an extended short selling ban on Austrian shares after no Europe-wide agreement was possible. Christoph Boschan, CEO of the Vienna Stock Exchange, supports this: "The national supervisory authority, like us, has urgently sought the extended ban at EU level. Both the impact of COVID-19 (Corona) and the interests of the individual sub-markets of the Union still differ greatly. This is extremely regrettable for us as Europeans. However, as a uniform solution was not enforceable, a national solution is now the right and important step to take.”

Date 18/03/2020
Due to the prevailing and severe level of uncertainty on the market in conjunction with the COVID-19-Virus the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) has today, by means of a Regulation, temporarily prohibited the short selling of certain financial instruments. All shares that are admitted to trading on the Regulated Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange (Wiener Börse) and that fall under the competence of the FMA as supervisory authority are affected by this ban. Transactions where there is a market making function are excluded from the ban as well as certain transactions in financial instruments that are based on an index or a basket of securities, which track an index. The ban entered into force today, 18 March 2020, with the publication of the Regulation and is limited to a period of one month, but may be repealed earlier or extended depending on market developments.
