Budapest Stock Exchange Is Once Again In Hungarian Hands - As A Controlling Owner Of The BSE The MNB Anticipates A Change In Strategy

Date 25/11/2015

On 20 November 2015 the Magyar Nemzeti Bank concluded a sales contract with the Austrian CEESEG AG and Österreichische Kontrollbank AG, the entities that to date held a 68.8 per cent ownership in the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE). With this transaction the MNB obtains controlling ownership in the national stock exchange, which thereby once again becomes national property. In view of the fact that the sales transaction is subject to the approval of the Hungarian Competition Authority, the central bank expects the transaction to be closed in mid-December 2015.
Adjust The MiFID II/MiFIR Implementation Timeline To Reality - Europex Calls For A One-Year Delay For The Application Of MiFID II/MiFIR

Date 25/11/2015

MiFID II/MiFIR poses new and fundamental challenges to the business models of numerous stakeholders in the energy market. The presumed start of the application of MiFID II/MiFIR in January 2017 will require market participants, energy exchanges, clearing houses, regulators and many others to implement major changes in their general organisation and IT systems. All necessary modifications need to be anticipated, prepared for and implemented in due time and in full accordance with the new rules. However, the technical legislation (Level 2) that needs to provide guidance for the implementation of MiFID II/MiFIR has been significantly delayed. Parts of the Level 2 rules which are critical for energy market stakeholders will not be finalised before months, making it impossible to comply and adapt businesses and administrations before January 2017. Europex therefore calls for a one-year postponement of the start of the application of MiFID II/MiFIR to 1 January 2018.
